19,200 baud and synchronous
(e.g. channel bank) connections
• 1 RU high
• Multiple rack mounting positions
• 18 to 56 VDC floating power supply
Key Features:
• Ring and Linear Operation
• Bridging and Filtering
• Embedded Craft Interface
• Remote Access
• Telemetry Performance Data
• Wide Range DC Power Input
• Proven ELMC Compatibility
• Synchronous and Asynchronous Operation
