Chapter 3. OPERATION

After applying power to the modem, make the following configuration changes to the
modem so that it will operate with the CIC-35.

• Program the transmit and receive data between 1 and 20 Mbps. Both

directions must use the same rate.

• Set the data interface type to LVDS. The modem operates in this electrical

format while the converter translates between LVDS and ASI.

• Set the transmit clocking to EXT. The Phase-Locked-Loop in the interface

converter recovers the byte clock and data on the transmit ASI signal and
reformats this to serial data and clock using LVDS format.
