The SR-04 statistical multiplexer concentrates 4 asynchronous channels over a synchronous or asynchronous composite. 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 battery supported through power outages.

The asynchronous ports can be individually set for speeds to 57.6 Kbps. 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 SR-04 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, 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 SR-04 Multiplexers. 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 SR 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 SR-04 multiplexer has a side panel access for firmware cartridge installation. This feature simplifies installation of upgrades for new features and functions.

The SR-04 is compatible with virtually all async terminal-printer/computer links. You can save thousands of dollars by concentrating your terminals 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.

The SR-04 can be provisioned as a time division multiplxer(TDM) by including the free TDM-4 firmware. Using it as a TDM insures faster throughput for time-critical protocols such as mirrored bit. Normal TDM rules apply (aggregate speed must be as fast enough to pass the sum of all active port speeds).

A one port version is available for applications where the features of the SR series are required at a single port remote site. It is normally used in SMD (SCADA Mux) or SRX-SR multi-point frame relay systems.
