AM Protocol Modem Card
The Model MB-AM is an intelligent RF modem card designed to plug into A M ’ s family of headend controllers to enable monitoring for both Headend equipment and field devices through Omni2000™. The MB-AM is an intelligent modem that performs data collection and alarm processing as well as remote configuration of Status Monitoring equipment at a rate of up to 100 devices per second. A single card can support hundreds of devices however when AM’s 9170 Addressable RF Switch is added to the card, this same card can support thousands of devices by further mitigating the effects of combined noise. The MB-AM is modular and supports one agile plug-in FSKRF data transmitter, and 2 agile FSKRF data receivers. The MB_AM supports a forward frequency range of 48MHz to 120MHz and a return range of 5MHz t o 42MHz. The MB-AM also has 2 built-in RS- 485 ports which are used for a direct communications to monitoring equipment which is located in the Headend. Examples of this equipment include ingress monitoring and Headend optical equipment. For customers interested in monitoring their AM legacy equipment with HMS or SNMP MIBs, the MB_AM can be purchased with AM’s BridgePort Proxy application which maps proprietary parameter information into HMS or SNMP objects to allow remote monitoring by an SNMP Manager. AM sells other modems that have been designed to support standard and proprietary protocols such as HMS, Scientific Atlanta, CCOR, ADC, and Kathrein.
