1-1 Chap ter 1 Introduction INTRODUCTION Y o ur T elenetics 2 185 is a digital bridge that can connect up to five sub- channel devices to a single main cha nnel device. Shar ing compu ter and communications resour ces through a 218 5 can achieve sign ificant sav- ings in har dware and line cos ts. The 2 185 is a ver sat ile unit t hat can b e used [...]

Telen eti cs 21 85 1-2 Main Channel Broadcast Data received on the main channel is broadca st to all su bchannels. In synchro nous operation , the correspond ing clock is also broadca st. DSR and DC D are sent to all su bchannel DTE de vices, and DTR and R TS to all subchannel DCE devi ces. Subchannel Content ion Subchannels contend for use of the [...]

Telen eti cs 21 85 1-3 phase, frequency , and the presence of jitter could cause the sub channel and the main channel to lose synchronization. If synchronizati on is lost, data errors occur and transmis sion fails. When the 2185 is configu red for asynchrono us operat ion, the retiming buf fer is by passed. Anti-Streaming Anti-streaming protects th[...]

The minimum da ta rate for an external clock is 50 bp s. Port-Sharing Mode In the por[...]

Telen eti cs 21 85 1-5 Modem-Sharing Mode In the m odem-sharing mode, the CPU or co ntroller is at a site remote from the 2185. Th e 2185's main channel connects to the CPU through a modem link (DCE). Subchannel terminals are connected directly to the 2185. Mod em-sharin g operatio n is illus trated in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2.
