2.4 Performance
Synchronization between units is maintained continuously with no operator
control required. A "SYNC ERROR" indicator, located on the front of the unit, will
turn on, alerting you if loss of sync occurs.
In operation, the Mux automatically adapts port speeds to the rates of the
individual terminals. No clock source is required.
The multiplexor's unique method of maintaining synchronization minimizes the
number of overhead bits from the data stream. All ports operate at maximum
throughput levels with virtually no multiplexing delay. As DTE speeds vary, high-
speed data sampling on each port allows the unit to follow any changes, so the unit
is transparent to error control, EIA signal propagation, and flow control.
The effective range is 10,000 feet (3 km) over dual fiber cable.
