System Overview AM64/128A User Manual 3. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The AM64/128A baseband modem uses the digital transmission system designed and developed by ATL Telecom Ltd. in Cardiff. It is intended for operation on 2-wire local telephone network circuits, such as those meeting BT EPS-9 (2-Wire). It will operate satisfactorily on unloaded lines having a wide range of characteristics; bridge taps can be tolerated, dependent upon their characteristics. Although the system requires a baseband circuit, a

AM64/128A User Manual System Overview The interface circuit performs a number of functions : it converts between the user data from the appropriate interface and the 64kbps or 128kbps, which is transmitted down the line; it links the control circuit to the control channel; it interfaces the control circuit to the control lines of the data ports. Again, these functions are performed by a custom IC supported by a number of standard components. Looking at each function in turn, user data at 64kbps

Installation AM64/128A User Manual 4. INSTALLATION This chapter describes the basic steps that are required to set up a system involving the Baseband Modems (BBM's). There are two basic systems that will be considered: (1) BBM connected to BBM (2) BBM connected to Line Card When considering the installation general pointers to the configuration of the BBM's are given. It should be noted that there are many BBM parameters which may be set differently and prevent the results from being as expected

AM64/128A User Manual Installation Set the line rate (section 5.7.2) as required at both ends, and set the user data rate up on the master (section 5.5). When the line is connected the FAULT LED should go out. The interface details and synchronous or asynchronous working should now be configured at both ends. This is done using the option menu (section 5.6). Note : When the AM64/128A has the G.703 interface fitted, then the unit is only operational in Master mode and a user rate of 64kbps. In th

Installation AM64/128A User Manual 4.2 BBM to Line Card Link Power up the BBM as described previously, and set the modem to slave mode. Set the line rate as required, and connect the line cord. Consult the line card handbook to set up the user data rate. The modem should automatically program to this rate. There will be an ‘options enable’ switch on the line card which determines whether the interface details are to be set either from the line card or modem. If the interface is to be set from th

Menu Operation AM64/128A User Manual 5. MENU OPERATION 5.1 Front Panel Features The Baseband Modem has an uncluttered and easy to understand front panel. It has a liquid crystal display (LCD), 5 LED’s, and 6 non-locking keys. With the 16 character alphanumeric, dot-matrix liquid crystal display it is possible to describe most of the functions in plain English, thus avoiding having to use complicated mnemonics and the need to constantly refer to a hand book. The 6 front panel keys are as follows:

If however a Line Card is used instead of a master BBM, then the display should read Network Mode. The essential differences of Network mode are that the line card can download the Options (105 Set On, 106 Delay, 107=108, 108/1 Set On, can be set from the line card and control from the
