The FO-SERIAL is a fiber optic modem used by the Telcos to deploy high rate leased lines in local loops. The enterprise market utilizes it to interconnect routers for unstructured applications like video codec or data from encrypted serial systems in a military environment.
The FO-Serial works in a framed mode at x 64Kbps or at fixed rates 2, 4, 6 or 8Mbps. One special software version, the FO-SECD allows a co-directional transmission of flow from DC to 8Mbps which is mainly used for satellite transmission.
The FO-SERIAL is available as FO-SE11 with X21/V11interface, FO-SE35 with V35 interface and FO-SE28 with V24/RS232 asynchronous/synchronous interface.
By default the interface rate is fixed at 2.048 Kbps, but we can select framed mode with a synchronous rate of 64K at 2.048Kbps per 64Kbps step, then 4.096, 6.144 and 8.192 Kbps.
When operating in n 64kbps or 2Mbps modes the FO-SERIAL can transmit data over fiber to a FO-E1T1. This solution is used to deploy leased lines from a TDM/PDH or SDH transit network. FO-SE28 provides a V28/V24/RS232 synchronous interface from 1.2 to 128 kbps and an asynchronous interfaces from DC to 112.5 kbps.
The free GUI MxCfg makes it easy to quickly configure the clock source and slope, the rate , the interfaces and loop back testing for both the local and distant end devices. You can also access past and current transmission statistics in 15min, 30min, 1hr and 24hr increments. It is possible to create configurations outside of the equipment and then forward the information to the site via the Internet or to print it with comments.
