PURPOSE The AL4301 is a serial data multiplexer and demultiplexer depending upon its configuration. As a multiplexer, the unit is used to combine several data streams into one higher speed stream for convenient data transmission or storage on a single channel recording device. The demultiplexer configuration subsequently accepts the composite data-stream and reconstructs the original channel signals. In full duplex applications, a single AL4301 chassis is used to house both the multiplexer and demultiplexer. Figure 1 illustrates a simplex configuration. However, if all of the modules shown in the drawing are contained in a single chassis and that chassis is duplicated at the opposite end of the data link, the application becomes full-duplex. In record/playback applications the independent operation of the Multiplexer and Demultiplexer sections allow playback and read after write functionality using only one unit. The exact operation of the AL4301 varies with the number and type of plug-in modules installed in the unit. Each time that power is applied to the chassis, initial turn-on tests are performed. Each card slot is tested to determine if an application module is installed. Each installed module automatically enters the operational mode and re-activates its last programmed settings. Control of the unit is provided by front panel controls and indicators or an external computer using an RS-232 serial link. These facilities are provided in the basic chassis. Optionally, an auxiliary remote control module may be installed to implement IEEE-488 or an Ethernet connection.

The unit is configurable to accommodate full duplex requirements (multiplexing and demultiplexing in one chassis) and also simplex requirements in which it will perform either the multiplexing or demultiplexing functions. The AL4302 can merge together virtually any signals that can be converted into a digital format, including serial digital (PCM Telemetry), analog, voice, time code, asynchronous, and video. The data are then transmitted at data rates of up to 155.52Mbps over a variety of transport mediums including Gigabit Ethernet, T1, multiple T1 (inverse multiplexing), DS-3, and OC-3. Moreover, the multiplexing process implemented in the AL4302 is compliant with the NASA’s CCSDS packetizing concept. Modularity and scalability are integral elements of the AL4302 design, making the unit easy to use and expand. With up to 17 available module slots, the AL4302 can be configured to address specific application requirements and the plug-in modules are easily installed into the chassis, permitting ease of expansion or reconfiguration in the application. Each time a card is installed in the chassis, initial power-on tests are performed, the card slots are read to detect the presence of a card, and the installed cards automatically initialize and re-activate the last programmed settings. Additionally, since the required control and monitoring software is included on each module, once the user inserts the modules and restores power, the front panel and remote control functions become active. In conjunction with a high contrast LCD display, an easy to use secure web interface provides for control remotely. www.apogeelabs.com [email protected] Page 1 of 2 210 South Third Street, North Wales, PA 19454 (T) 215-699-2060 AL4302 MULTIPLEXER/DEMULTIPLEXER PRODUCT LINE FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM AL4304 MULTIPLEXER CONFIGURATION AL4304 DEMULTIPLEXER CONFIGURATION DATA/CLOCK DATA/CLOCK DATA/CLOCK 2016 DUAL MUX 2017 DUAL DEMUX 2016 DUAL MUX 2017 DUAL DEMUX DATA/CLOCK 2219 ETHERNET DATA ETHERNET DATA/CLOCK DATA/CLOCK DATA/CLOCK 2024 ETHERNET DATA/CLOCK 2219 ETHERNET DATA PACKETIZER 2026 DS-3 OUPUT 2026 DS-3 INPUT 2025 DEPACKETIZER TIME TIME AUDIO 2021 TIME & AUDIO 2022 TIME & AUDIO AUDIO ANALOG 2030 ADC8 2031 DAC8 ANALOG Figure 1: AL4302 in a data communication application (simplex configuration) SPECIFICATIONS CHASSIS DIMENSIONS  5.25” high x 19” wide x 14.5” deep  Rack mount (standard EIA rack) or stand alone WEIGHT  15 lbs without modules  Approximately 8 oz per module POWER  90 VAC to 240 VAC, single phase, auto select  47 Hz to 63 Hz  Less than 150 watts www.apogeelabs.com [email protected] Page 2 of 2 ENVIRONMENTAL  0°C to 40°C operating temperature  -20°C to 70°C storage temperature  15% to 95% relative humidity; non-condensing  10,000 feet altitude ETHERNET CONTROL  RJ-45 connector  10 / 100 / 1000 connectivity  SSH; SSL; SNMP v 2c / 3; TCP/IP; Radius; NTP; ARP APPLICATION MODULES  3U x 220 mm Eurocard format 210 South Third Street, North Wales, PA 19454 (T) 215-699-2060
