The modem uses conditional diphase modulation (EUROCOM Std. D1), which provides immunity to background noise, eliminates normal line distortion and enables efficient transmission over twisted pair. Transmit timing is provided internally, derived externally from the DTE or recovered from the receive signal.
The ASM-10/8 sync/async short range modem features diagnostic capabilities complying with the V.54 standard to perform local and remote loopbacks.
The unit has a V.24/RS-232 interface and is available as a standalone unit or as a card for the 19" ASM-MN-214 rack that holds up to 14 cards.
