2.1 INTRODUCTION
All versions of the High Speed Base Band Modems provide synchronous communication of
data over twisted copper pair(s).
The AM64/128EA unit operates at 64Kbps and 128Kbps over a single pair.
The AM64/384A unit operates from 64Kbps to 384Kbps over a single pair.
The AM64/512A unit operates from 64Kbps to 512Kbps over a single pair.
The AM64/768A unit operates from 64Kbps to 768Kbps over two pairs.
The AM64/1024A unit operates from 64Kbps to 1024Kbps over two pairs.
Throughout the document, reference will be to “single pair”and “two pair”modems.
Wherever the term “single pair modem”is used, it applies to any of the following:
AM64/128EA, AM64/384A, AM64/512A.
Wherever the term “two pair modem”is used, it applies to the following:
AM64/768A, AM64/1024A.
The modems optimise their transmission characteristics for each line rate so a reduction in the
data rate will enable transmission over a greater distance.
They can be easily configured from either the front panel controls or a VT100 terminal, and
are available in a range of user interface options. The interfaces currently available are:
•X.21 15-way D-type socket
•X.21 bis 25-way D-type socket
•V.35 34-way MRAC socket
•V.36 37-way D-type socket
•RS.530 25-way D-type socket
•G.703 (64kbps 120ohm ) 9-way D-type socket
•Ascom Bridge Router with10BaseT 8-way RJ-45 socket

2.2.4 Desktop unit to Ascom AM70 Multiplexer
This arrangement connects the modem via the AM70 multiplexer on towards a network.
2.2.5 Ethernet LAN to Ethernet LAN
With the Ascom Bridge Router fitted, the modems can provide a WAN connection between
two Ethernet LANs via a 10BaseT port. Full routing and Network Address Translation
functionality precludes the need for external routing devices. In this mode, the timing
originates from the internal clock of the master.

2.2 EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
The diagrams below illustrate some basic applications:
2.2.1 Desktop modem to desktop modem with no external timing
Either end of the link may be master, with the opposite end being the slave. The timing
originates from the internal clock in the master, and is sent out to the customer’s terminating
equipment.
2.2.2 Desktop modem to desktop modem with external timing
In this example the master modem accepts timing from the interface and uses this to time
the link.
2.2.3 Desktop unit to Ascom rack system
This system behaves like the above examples, but here one of the desktop units is replaced by
the Ascom rack, which can house 12 card units.

Your modem should now be connected as illustrated in the following diagram:
4.3 CONFIGURING THE MODEMS
4.3.1 Desktop modem to desktop modem with no external timing
A modem to modem link (as in diagram 2.2.1) requires a straight through connection, i.e. pair
one of the first modem connects to pair one of the second modem. If using two pair modems
in their two pair mode, the second pair of each modem should also be directly connected.
The units will not operate if the pairs are crossed over.
One end of the link will need to be configured as a MASTER and the other end will be
configured as SLAVE. The difference being that the master unit can download the major
settings to the slave, and not vice versa.
The downloaded settings are: number of pairs, line rate, and control line transfer. All other
settings are not downloaded, and have to be set locally.

4.2 CONNECTING THE HIGH SPEED MODEM
Connect the mains lead into the IEC type socket on the rear of the unit and plug the other
end into an earthed mains supply.
WARNING! This unit must be used only with power supplies providing a safety earth.
The unit should power up, the following messages will be displayed:
Displays type and version of software
This will depend on the status of the unit
Plug one end of the RJ45 to RJ45 line cord lead into the RJ45 line connector socket on the
rear of the unit. The other end connects to your copper line pairs. For the RJ45 connector pair
one is on pins 7 and 8 and pair two (on two pair modems only) is on pins 4 and 5. In the UK
connection is made via RJ45 to BT style converter, connections on pins 1 and 6 for pair one
and 2 and 5 for pair two.
RJ45 TO BT STYLE CONVERTER RJ45 PLUG
A suitable lead is required to connect the modem user interface connector on the rear of the
unit to your DTE equipment. For details of interface connector pin-outs see section 8.
