The SCADA-MUX multiplexer concentrates 4 or more asynchronous data streams over a synchronous or asynchronous composite network link. All port parameters are set with an asynchronous terminal connected to the network management port or port 1. Set-up procedures are menu driven and fully explained on screen. All configuration parameters are maintained through power outages.

The asynchronous ports may be individually set for speeds up to 57.6 Kbps (38.4 Kbpson larger units). Hardware (CTS/Busy high or low) or software (Xon/Xoff even, odd, mark, space or transparent) flow control is also set on a port by port basis.

The composite is asynchronous or synchronous full duplex lines either analog or digital. The composite can be run at speeds up to 128 Kbps synchronous or 115.2 Kbps asynchronous. The composite may be used through analog leased lines, dial-up modems, ISDN TAs, radio modems, digital DSUs, satellite, or equivalent links.

The network management port includes local and remote configuration commands. The Show Configuration Commands allow the system manager to view the configuration settings of both the local and remote SCADA-MUX. Network management features include port and composite loopbacks, capture of a remote or local port, send a test message to an individual local or remote port, set multiplexer ID for node identification and a built-in "data line monitor" which allows the monitoring of the transmit or receive lines at the local multiplexer. A unique feature of the multiplexer is the Copy Command. This command allows a trainer at the host site to "copy" any local or remote port to view exactly what the user is entering. This feature can save thousands of training dollars by eliminating travel expenses.

The SCADA-MUX multiplexer has a side panel access for firmware cartridge installation. This feature simplifies installation of upgrades for new features and functions.

The SCADA-MUX is compatible with virtually all async RTU systems. You can save thousands of dollars by concentrating your RTU links on one line while delivering top performance. In addition, with features like the loopback, test message, ID, monitor and copy commands, you can take charge of your network like never before. They are ideal for use with point-to-point wireless links... add SCADA-Mux instead of duplicating the wireless link.

Single and multiple unit rack mounting and chassis mounts are available.
