OVERVIEW
The Synchronous Modem Eliminator (SME-4M) enables
a mainframe or minicomputer to communicate locally with
another mainframe, minicomputer, or remote controller.
And best of all, it saves you money because the SME-4M
replaces the two modems or line drivers normally needed
for such communication.
Just one versatile SME-4M enables asynchronous,
synchronous, or bisynchronous communications between
two DTEs over RS-232C cable.
In synchronous mode, the unit operates at data rates that
top out at 38.4 kbps. Plus the SME-4M operates transparently
in either synchronous or asynchronous mode. You can also
configure the SME-4M to operate at some nonstandard data
transmission speeds. To set the SME-4M for one of these
speeds, configure the unit according to the chart on the right.
The SME-4M is small and lightweight, so it’s easy to handle.
And because no special tools are needed, installation is simple.
The modem eliminator’s front panel has six LEDs and
three switches. The six LEDs indicate Clear To Send (CTS),
Transmitted Data (TXD), and Data Set Ready (DSR) for each
port. The three switches include Ring Indicator (RI) and
Control Data Set Ready (CON) signals, and (LB) selects the
Digital Loopback Test Mode.
Use the SME-4M’s diagnostic loopback capability to test
asynchronous applications. Simply press the switch and enter
data at the host terminal or computer. That data should
return to you exactly as you sent it.
The unit fits neatly on a desktop. Each SME-4M is shipped
with a 115-VAC power transformer and a user’s manual.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support
contract, the technical support and service they receive falls
far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth
what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
best support. You can even consult our Technical Support
Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just
the right component for your application.
Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
