10 256-KBPS LINE DRIVER (V .35, RS-530, OR X.21) 2. Introduction The 256-kbps Line Driver is a short-range modem for synchronous or asynchronous transmission—full- or half-duplex—over unconditioned lines. With a range of up to 11.8 miles (19 km), the line driver operates at user-selectable synchronous data rates from 19.
11 CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.2 Functional Description This section describes the operation of the line driver’s circuit blocks, primarily the circuits required for correctly configuring the modem (see Figure 2-1 below). Figure 2-1. Line driver block diagram.
12 256-KBPS LINE DRIVER (V .35, RS-530, OR X.21) NOTE In multipoint applications, do not use the 0-msec option for the RTS–CTS delay. 2.2.2 M ODULATION T IMING This circuit supplies the transmit clock to the encoder. Three clock sources are available on the XMT CLK jumper (J3): • INT—Internal clock.
13 CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.2.5 V.54 D IAGNOSTICS V.54 loops are activated manually with the front-panel buttons, or through the DTE interface. The buttons and the DTE interface can be enabled or disabled separately by jumpers J7 and J8 (shown in Figure 3-1 and described in Table 3-1).

15 CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3. Configuration This chapter explains how to configure your standalone or rackmount card line driver. After you configure it, see Chapter 4 for how to install it, Chapter 5 for how to operate it, and Chapter 6 for how to test the system.
16 256-KBPS LINE DRIVER (V .35, RS-530, OR X.21) D ESCRIPTION OF THE R ACK N EST 2/14’ S P OWER S UPPLY The 115-VAC RackNest 2/14 (our product code RM110A) uses the PS1000A power supply, which accepts 115-VAC input power. The 230-VAC RackNest 2/14 uses power supply PS1000AE, which accepts 230-VAC input power.
17 CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3.3 Configuring the Standalone or Card V ersion Before attaching anything to the 256-kbps Line Driver standalone or rackmount card version, determine which data rate you’re going to use, what the system’s clock source should be, and how you want to set all of the other user-configurable options on the line driver.

41 6.3 The Modem Self-T est To verify that the line driver itself is operating correctly, initiate the modem self- test by pressing the PATT and ANA buttons (refer to Figure 6-3 below): 1. Press ANA to start local analog loopback. Both the TEST and DCD LEDs should light.
42 256-KBPS LINE DRIVER (V .35, RS-530, OR X.21) 2. Verify that the DTE is operating properly and can be used for a test. 3. Perform the test using one of these methods: • Send data from the DTE and check the echoed data stream. • Hook up an external Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) unit in place of the DTE.
43 CHAPTER 6: T roubleshooting 6.5 Remote Digital Loopback Activate the remote digital loopback test by pressing the REM button or by raising the level of the remote loopback signal received by the line driver’s V.35 connector (Pin HH). This test involves creating an outbound loopback at the remote line driver (see Figure 6-5 on the next page).

Remote digital loopback. 6.6 Local Digital Loopback Activate the local digital loopback test by pressing the DIG button on the line driver’s front panel. This test involves creating an outbound loopback at the local line driver (see Figure 6-6 on the next page).
45 CHAPTER 6: T roubleshooting 4. After the test is complete or the fault has been corrected, restore the DIG button to its normal position. Figure 6-6. Local digital loopback. 6.7 Calling Black Box If you determine that your line driver is malfunctioning, do not attempt to alter or repair the unit.
46 256-KBPS LINE DRIVER (V .35, RS-530, OR X.21) 6.8 Shipping and Packaging If you need to transport or ship your line driver: • Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container. • If you are shipping the line driver for repair, make sure you include its power cord.
47 Appendix: Maximum Distances The maximum distance that a pair of line drivers can communicate across will vary depending on the data rate and the thickness (gauge) of the wires. In multipoint applications, it will also vary depending on the number of slaves on the line.
