2 Technical Specifications

2. Description

ME1240A-F and ME1243A-F are miniature modem eliminators, which replace two

synchronous modems by permitting direct port-to-port connection, as shown in

Figure 1.

The modem eliminators operate at to 38.4 kbps (ME1240A-F) or 64 kbps

(ME1243A-F), connecting two synchronous DTEs at ranges of up 30m/99 ft

(ME1240A-F) or 75m/247 ft (ME1243A-F) on each side.

The delay between RTS and CTS can be independently set on either port to 0, 6.6

or 53 msec for ME1240A-F or 0, 7, or 64 msec for ME1243A-F.

The DCD signal can either be set to constantly ON, or used as a port-to-port

handshaking signal, where RTS on one port is converted to DCD on the other port.

Physical connection between ME1240A-F and its associated terminal and

computer is via D-type 25-pin female connectors.

Physical connection between ME1243A-F and its associated terminal and

computer is via two 34-pin V.35 female connectors on 85 cm (2.8 ft) cable.

4 Installation

4. Installation

This is a delicate instrument. Be careful when setting jumpers or performing any

actions within the product so that you do not break or shake any components.

Installation of the modem eliminators is simple and straightforward, just follow

these steps:

1. Separate the two parts of the plastic cover by firmly pressing the marked places

on the sides. If this is difficult, insert a small screwdriver into the slot, where

there is a small opening. Lift the handle, gently levering the tip of the

screwdriver down. The cover will separate without pressure.

Do not insert the screwdriver straight into the middle of the slot, as this may break

off the prongs which snap the cover together.

2. Configure the unit according to the desired mode, referring to Figure 2,

Figure 3 and Table 1.
