DESCRIPTION
•
FLM-1 is a time division
multiplexer enabling up to twelve
asynchronous terminals to be
multiplexed onto a single cable for
point-to-point applications. Up to
four FLM-1 units can also be
installed in a ring application
involving clusters of terminals at
various locations. A built-in
modem in the FLM-1 drives the
high speed multiplexed data over
fiber-optic or twisted-pair cable.
•
FLM-1 can be user-selected to
operate with twelve channels, or
with six channels for improved
performance.
•
When set to six channels, each
channel can be used to transmit
full duplex data end-to-end.
When set to twelve channels,
each channel can be used for
either data or control signal
transmission. This allows six
channels, for example, to be used
for transmitting full duplex data,
and six other to be used for
transmitting control signals
end-to-end. Alternatively, all
twelve channels can be used to
transmit full duplex data
end-to-end.
•
Two channel interfaces options
are available (see Ordering):
!
six 25-pin D-type, female
connectors, which can be
expanded to support twelve
channels by using channel
doubler cables, or
!
twelve RJ-45 connectors, each
supporting a single channel.
•
FLM-1 offers two cable options for
the main link interface:
!
4-wire for transmitting over two
twisted copper pairs, or
!
dual fiber for transmitting over
duplex fiber-optic cable.
•
The main link copper interface is
available with either a 5-screw
terminal block, or an RJ-45
connector. The optical interface is
available with a variety of
connectors and wavelengths (see
Ordering).
•
FLM-1 is available as a standalone
desktop unit. Special hardware for
mounting in a 19" rack is available
(see Ordering).
