| Admin | What kind of card do you put ADM trunks on? Welcome to the board. From MERL: Quote: Add-on Data Module The ADM is packaged in a molded chameleon gray plastic case 6.25 in (159 mm) wide. It has the same profile as the basic SL-1 telephone set and is equipped with a black faceplate. The ADM is a microprocessor-controlled module which provides advanced data transmission features over a wide range of data rates. It eliminates unnecessary analog conversions between data terminal equipment and the Meridian 1 switching network by using digital transmission over existing 2-pair SL-1 set wire. The ADM replaces base-band modems, acoustical couplers, and limited distance data sets for in-house data transmission activities. It extends several SL-1 station calling features to data calling use when installed on a standard SL-1 telephone. The ADM also provides switched, dial-up access from multiple in-house terminal equipment to shared dedicated or voice-grade modems for external data calling. | Quote: QMT7 ADM The QMT7 provides asynchronous, half or full-duplex operation over 2- or 4-wire transmission lines and, depending on the terminal or modem used, transmission speeds of 50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200 and 9600 bps. It accommodates a serial character data format of 5, 6, 7 or 8 data bits and 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits (or as defined by the data unit). The ADM is compatible with Bell 103/212/202 compliant modems and provides an EIA RS-232-C interface to data terminal equipment or modems. It converts the signals from the data equipment to full-duplex digital (128 kbits/sec, BPRZ encoded) to send to the Data Line Card (DLC) in the Meridian 1. The ADM provides for re-down-line loading of RS-232 control signals. It also provides the following Data Call features: — Flexible numbering plan for data stations — Auto-answer capability — Originate capability — Voice path integrity in ADM power loss situations — Alternate or simultaneous voice and data calling per data station — Distinctive buzz for incoming data calls — Distinctive connect tone — Power Fail Protection Note: Not all of the data modules have these features, i.e., not all have distinctive buzz, alternate or simultaneous voice and data capability. See module specifications. The in-house error rate should be no greater than 1 error x 10 -7 bits and the error rate over trunks should be no greater than 1 error x 10 -5 bits (modem dependent). | Quote: QMT8 SADM The QMT8 has the same profile as the QMT7, but it supports both asynchronous and synchronous data transmission. A service switch is used to change from one mode of transmission to the other. The QMT8 can operate in the same configuration as the QMT7. The QMT8, when operating in the asynchronous mode, can operate at 19200 bps in addition to speeds specified for the QMT7. The QMT8 also supports the inbound modem pooling and keyboard dialing features. When operating in the synchronous mode, the QMT8 can transmit data at 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 40800, 48000, or 56000 bps. Some of the QMT8 controls are different and are defined in Table 2. Note: For QMT8 with RS-232 interface at speeds above 20 kbps, the EIA cable lengths (DTE or DCE to ADM) are speed-dependent and must be shorter than 50 ft (15 m); e.g., in the 5 to 8 ft (1.5 to 2.5 m) range at 56 kbps. QMT12 ADM The QMT12 (V.35) ADM has the same profile as the QMT7 and QMT8. However. the QMT12 provides high-speed V.35 CCITT synchronous instead of a RS-232 interface to data terminals or modems. The QMT12 interface conforms electrically to the CCITT V.35 standard and mechanically to ISO-2110. The QMT12 provides for the same data transmission speeds as the QMT8 synchronous ADM; 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 40800, 48000, or 56000 bps. The controls and option selectors are similar to the QMT8 and are described in Tables 1 and 2. Note: The RS-232-C (QMT DCE/DTE interface is normally used for low-speed data rates (up to 19.2 kbps) while the V.35 (QMT12) interface is used when high-speed (38.4 to 56.0 kbps) data rates are required. However, synchronous terminals operate with whatever clock they receive. Therefore, a user with a V.35 terminal can set the speed switch to a low speed and call an RS-232 modem. A different color is used on the speed indicator card of the QMT12 to indicate the higher speeds. The V.35 CCITT interface should only be used in the synchronous operating mode. | Quote: Data Line Card The DLC is located in a Peripheral Equipment (PE) shelf. It encodes information streams received from the ADM and routes this information through the Meridian 1 switching network to the called data facility (computer or terminal). The QPC311 DLC supports two SL-1 telephones and two ADMs, either in independent or paired operation. The DLC data ports can support two MCDS-AC ports, two CIC ports, two ASIMs or two CIMs. Microprocessor control allows the DLC to separate incoming voice signals, data signals, and actual data, and route this information through the switching network. The DLC contains an option switch used to link or isolate operation of each SL-1/ADM circuit pair as required and jumper positions for wire gauge selection. 4-Port Data Line Card The 4PDLC is located in a Peripheral Equipment (PE) shelf. It meets the physical and electrical specifications of any DLC to data-module interface and provides access to network channels for data information. The 4PDLC is used in applications that require a large concentration of data ports. It provides four SL-1 data only ports and is primarily designed to serve MCDS-AC, ASIM, CIM, CIC, and stand-alone ADM. The 4PDLC does not support calls that involve voice ports such as in outbound modem pool calls. The 4PDLC accepts both voice and data call signals but does not distinguish between them and therefore cannot be used in cases where both types of signals are present. The 4PDLC has one LED indicator on the faceplate that is lit when the card is disabled. | |
