1240 CNS Multiplexer

1240 CNS Multiplexer

Proven solution for Radio Status or System Management Monitoring.

1240 CNS Multiplexer, Key Features, IP & non IP

The Ethernet IP interfaces of the 1240 CNS Multiplexer support Radar Asterix, VoIP ED137 and System Monitoring. Proven ED137B & C VoIP operation, for up to 16 Ground/Air Radios with a separate IP network for Radio Status, SNMP or System Management Monitoring. The same CNS Multiplexer simultaneously supports up to 8 legacy Air/Ground Radios, (4 wire Voice + E&M signalling, with or without phantom earth), permitting easier transition from existing 25kHz to 8.33kHz Radios. For ATIS requirements, mostly 4 wire Voice + E&M, the 1240 CNS Multiplexer supports both current equipment and new VoIP systems.

For Data requirements there are X.21/RS422/RS485 & RS232 (V.24) interfaces, primarily used on Navigational Aids and some Radars.

Dual power feeds to the 1240 CNS Multiplexer are provided to minimise a single point of failure.

The 1240 CNS Multiplexer has an 18Vdc to 72Vdc input range, accommodating site locations having either 24V or 48V DC battery systems (positive or negative earth).

There is a generous 30dB optical light budget, maintained over the lifetime of the 1240 CNS Multiplexer, achieved by the built in compensation correcting sustaining the Laser's output level. 60Km distances should easily be achievable. Extended versions offer 120Km (over single mode Fibre).
