Introduction
This chapter describes basic physical and functional features of the
ASMi-31 standalone modem, as well as some typical applications. It
discusses the following topics:
•
An overview of the modem
•
Physical description
•
Functional description
•
Technical specifications.
1.1 Overview
General
Versions
The ASMi-31 modem is a synchronous/asynchronous short-range modem
which is managed by a remote master modem. ASMi-31 operates
synchronously or asynchronously at full duplex over 2-wire twisted pair,
unconditioned lines. The ASMi-31 modem has a transmission range of 8 km
(5 miles) over 24 AWG wire and operates at user-selectable data rates from
1.2 kbps to 128 kbps.
ASMi-31 is available in several versions:
•
ASMi-31 standalone – the standalone slave unit features a blank panel
•
ASMi-31/R – a plug-in card which may be installed in the ASM-MN-214
hub.
•
ASMi-31C – a plug-in card which may be installed in the LRS-12 or
LRS-24 hub (see ASMi-31C Installation and Operation Manual for details).
Power Supply Versions
The power supply options are:
•
AC power source: 115 VAC or 230 VAC
•
DC power source: -48 VDC.

Figure 1-1 ASMi-31 Working Opposite HS-U Card in Megaplex-2100
The ASMi-31 short range modem supports full duplex transmission over
2-wire twisted pair unconditioned lines.
The ASMi-31 modem operates in pairs with either another standalone
modem, or as a card installed in the ASM-MN-214 hub.
A management channel transmitted in-band allows remote configuration for
the modem, real-time alerts on failures, and diagnostic testing. The line data
rate is selectable from 1.2 kbps up to 128 kbps and the line encoding is
2B1Q. ASMi-31 achieves an operating range up to 8 km (5 miles) over
24 AWG wire, independent of data rate.
The ASMi-31 modem is fully compatible with ASM-31 and SRM-31 and
works opposite MP-2100/HS-U module.
The ASMi-31 modem features automatic rate detection in external clock
mode for tail-end applications.
Control Signal Transfers
ASMi-31 supports end-to-end transfer of two control signals: DTR to DSR
and RTS to DCD, except for the V.35 interface or any other standard that
doesn't support this signal (such as X.21, G.703).
Interfaces
ASMi-31 supports the following interfaces: V.24/RS-232, V.35, X.21,
V.36/RS-449, RS-530, G.703 Codirectional, or built-in Ethernet bridge.
Diagnostics
ASMi-31 contains two diagnostic loops for complete diagnostics of both
local and remote modems:
•
Local analog loopback
•
Remote digital loopback
Both loopbacks are controlled via pins in the DTE interface and are
supported by their respective standards.

1.2 Physical Description
ASMi-31 is available as a standalone desktop unit or as a card for the
ASM-MN-214 hub. Figure 1-2 shows the 3D view of the ASMi-31
standalone unit.
General
Figure 1-2 ASMi-31 Standalone Unit
The front panel includes eight LEDs, which display the status of power, data
flow, control signals and diagnostics. For detailed description of the front
panel, see Chapter 3, Operation.
The back panel includes an power connector with fuse, an interface
connector, and a terminal block with a ground connection for connecting
the telephone lines. The ASMi-31 rear panel is described in greater detail, in
Chapter 2, Installation and Setup.
The internal switches and jumpers can be configured to support a variety of
modes for operating the modem. Refer to Setting the Internal Jumpers in
Chapter 2 for details on jumper location and setting.
1.3 Functional Description
The ASMi-31 standalone modem is managed by a master ASMi-31C modem
card mounted on a LRS-12 or LRS-24 hub. The management channel, which
is transmitted in-band, allows remote configuration, real-time alerts on
system failure, diagnostic testing, and the production of statistical
information on system performance.

Remote Management
Data Transmission
Special Management Configurations
Diagnostic Capabilities
The ASMi-31 standalone modem is very conveniently managed from the
master station by means of RADview, a RAD SNMP application. This
user-friendly graphical user interface manages the ASMi-31C modem cards
installed in the LRS-12 or LRS-24 hub and, through them, the ASMi-31
standalone units.
Both data and management are transmitted inband over the same line,
simultaneously, without interference.
Full duplex operation over 2-wires is achieved using the adaptive
"echo-canceling" technique. The ASMi-31 modem uses 2B1Q line coding
to achieve the range of 8 km/5 miles, for all data rates. This coding
provides immunity to background noise, eliminates normal line distortion
and permits efficient transmission over 2-wire twisted cables.
An adaptive equalizer provides noise immunity and high performance over
low quality lines.
The ASMi-31 standalone modem unit has internal jumpers which allow for
special management configurations such as point-to-point applications
without ASMi-31C modem cards in the LRS-12 or LRS-24 hub, and also
on-site diagnostics testing.
In addition to the remote diagnostic capability, the ASMi-31 standalone
modem provides diagnostic capabilities which can be executed locally.
These include the Digital Loopback (RLB) and Analog Loopback (LLB)
diagnostics; they are executed via the DTE interface after the appropriate
jumpers are set. The ASMi-31 unit has a blank panel to prevent
unauthorized operation at the customer premises.
Overload Protection
Note
The local diagnostics are as follows:
•
Remote Digital Loopback – REM, activated by pin in DTE interface and
supported by respective standard.
•
Analog Loopback – Local (ANA defined by the standard as LLB),
activated by pin in DTE interface and supported by the respective
standard.
The ASMi-31 loopbacks do not operate with the X.21 and G.703
(Codirectional) because they are not supported by these standards.
The ASMi-31 modem is coupled to the line through an isolation transformer
which protects against AC or DC overvoltages. The protection circuitry
permits operation even when DC is connected to the line.
