A.9 FRM220-Serial/485 In-band managed RS-485/422/232 Fiber Modem
The FRM220-Serial/485 provides an Asynchronous Fiber Modem solution to extend RS-485 or RS-232
transmission distance up to 2km over multimode fiber or up to 120km over single mode fiber. The modem is
equipped with multiple interface circuits for connection to RS-232 or RS-485/422 (2 or 4 wire, full or half duplex).
The FRM220-Serial/485 secures data transmission over EMI resistant fiber at speeds up to 460kbps for RS-232 or
up to 1024kbps for RS-485/422. When the FRM220-Serial/485 card modem is placed in the FRM220 rack with
SNMP management, in-band management allows viewing the card and remote modem's status, type, version, fiber
link status, data link status and alarms. Both card and remote can be configured to enable or disable the port, reset
the port and set the interface type.
Features
