Transceivers are specified to ± 15kV IEC1000-4-2 air discharge ESD protection and
port connections are additionally protected by Tranzorb type arrays.
Data received at the Channel A port is always terminated; it cannot be concatenated
across the concatenation link.
S is normally synchronised to network timing but in the event of this being
unavailable runs from an internal source within the SMX.
Note:
When DIP SW 1-2 is set to Local, I is ON when the channel is legally configured, the
aggregate is running and in sync, in which case C is ignored
When DIP SW 1-2 is set to Remote, I is ON when the channel is legally configured,
the aggregate is running and in sync, and C is received from the remote end.
