ASYNC SHM-NPR
2. Introduction
2.1 Description
The Async SHM-NPR is used for local data
distribution, connecting full- or half-duplex
asynchronous terminals to computers. A pair
of modems ensures integrity of data transmission,
over unconditioned 4-wire telephone lines, for
distances of up to 2 miles (3.2 km).
The SHM-NPR is a high-speed synchronous
modem operating at 76.8 Kbps. The async-to-sync
conversion is performed by over-sampling, allowing
for asynchronous data transmission at data rates up
to 19,200 bps. This design results in a unit that is
insensitive to polarity of wiring (no need to observe
“+” and “-” on the twisted pairs), and is therefore
simple to install and maintain.

ASYNC SHM-NPR
The SHM-NPR features a DCE/DTE switch. This
allows it to operate as a DTE in order to connect to
another DCE, such as a multiplexor port, without
requiring a cross cable. The carrier can be strapped
for either continuous operation (point-to-point
applications) or for switched operation, controlled
by the RTS signal (multi-point applications). Delay
between RTS and CTS is strap-selectable to 1 or
12 msec.
The low transmit level minimizes crosstalk onto
adjacent circuits within the same cable. Data is
transmitted and received at a balanced impedance,
ensuring excellent immunity to circuit noise.
Additionally, the SHM-NPR is coupled to the
telephone line through isolation transformers
which, in conjunction with electronic circuitry,
protect against AC or DC overvoltages.
Innovative circuitry design allows the SHM-NPR
to operate without connection to the main supply,
by using ultra-low power from the standard EIA
RS-232/ITU V.24 data and control signals. To ensure
proper operation, the equipment connected to the
SHM-NPR should provide at least one of the
following signals: RTS (Circuit 105) or DTR
(Circuit 108.2).

3. Installation
Installation of the Async SHM-NPR is simple
and straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Separate the two parts of the plastic cover by
pressing the marked places on the side, starting
at the cable end.
2. Connect 4-wire telephone line to the screw
terminal block: transmit pair to “XMT” and
receive pair to “RCV.” To connect the cable
shield, a ground is provided.
3. Strap the modem according to the strapping
diagram (Figure 3-1) and the strap-selection
table (Table 3-1).
4. To close the unit, simply press the two halves
of the cover together.
5. Plug the modem directly into the 25-pin
connector of the terminal or computer port,
and fasten with the screws on each side of the
connector.
