GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
MICRO-AIDE’s family of Limited Distance Modem (LDM) products can be
used in a variety of data communications applications. The family consists of
the following products.
• LDM-1 standalone - a complete LDM (photographed on the cover page of
this manual).
• LDM-1 plug-in - functionally identical to the standalone version, it is a
printed circuit board (PCB) that is mounted within the LDM-16 nest.
• LDM-16 nest - a 19" rack-mounted chassis that can be equipped with 1 to
16 LDM-1 plug-in PCBs.
The LDM-1 can be thought of as a device for extending RS-232 communica-
tions over great distances (e.g., thousands of feet). It serves as an interface
between the customer’s Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and data communi-
cations network. It is designed to be compatible with four-wire, private line
networks. It can be used to facilitate point-to-point and multi-drop network
configurations. Its unique performance characteristics permit data transmis-
sion and reception over distances of many miles. Additionally, the LDM-1 will
operate over a wide temperature range.
