• NTX is ISDN NT1 modem with U interface (2B+D), 64, 128, 144 kbit/s
• Enables connectivity of distant DTE devices with X.21 interface to telecommunication network, using existing access multiplexers FM2x2 or FM-MSAN with PIU-LT or PN64 tributary units
• Point to point connection of devices based on X.21 interface using single twisted pair transmission medium (NTX LT and NT mode)

Application

NTX is basic ISDN NT1 modem with U interface (2B+D). In modem version NTX enables connectivity of distant DTE devices with X.21 interface by using the existing telecommunication network. Access to the existing network could be realized by using Flexible Multiplexer FM2x2 or FM-MSAN through the proper tributary units like PIU-LT or PN64. In this particular application NTX is Network Terminating (NT) device while tributary unit performs ISDN BRA Line termination (LT). Line Termination side, PIU-LT cards, besides of all other LT functionality provides remote power for NTX devices.

Another typical NTX devices application is bidirectional point to point connection by using single twisted pair transmission medium. Typically this configuration is suitable for direct routers connection in campus or other similar inter-building applications. In order to connect distant routers it is necessary to configure NTX device in one, for instance central or corporate site, in X.21 DCE and ISDN U LT mode. The other NTX, remote device, have to be configured as, X.21 DCE and ISDN U NT. In this case synchronization is obtained from internal reference at the ISDN U LT side; NT side is always synchronized to the peering LT device. Also by adding Remote Power Supply (RPS) device it is possible to power both NTX devices.
