ASM-60 4-Wire Symmetrical VDSL-Based Modem from RAD
ASM-60, a VDSL-based modem, operates in full duplex over 4-wire 19–26 AWG lines. Transmitting data at 4.096 Mbps, 6.144 Mbps
or 10.24 Mbps, ASM-60 eliminates the need for fiber optic cables in the last mile (local loop) or campus network environment. RAD
ASM-60 uses the VDSL QAM technology to improve the bandwidth utilization and ensure efficient transmission, even over poor quality
lines.
Two versions of the RAD ASM-60
modem are available:
ASM-60/CO, for installation at central office
ASM-60/CPE, for installation at customer premises.
ASM-60 DTE interfaces supported:
HSSI
Ethernet bridge (IR-ETH)
10/100BaseT bridge with VLAN support (IR-ETH/QH)
IP router (IR-IP).
ASM-60 is managed via an ASCII terminal connected to the front-panel supervisory port. The embedded menu-driven software allows
to perform the following activities:
Data rate selection
Modem's status display
VDSL statistics collection
Real time alert of fault conditions.
