Feature Enhancements
Enhancing the capability of CDM-Qx/QxL in the field is easy. Features that do not require additional hardware can be added on site,
using FAST access codes purchased from Comtech EF Data.
Data Interfaces
The CDM-Qx/QxL support a range of data interfaces – EIA-422, V.35, Sync EIA-232, G.703 T1, G.703 E1, Quad G.703 E1, G.703 E2
and HSSI.
CDM-Qx Shown With:
Slot 1 Modulator Card with G.703 Balanced Interface
Slot 2 Modulator Card with G.703 Balanced Interface
Slot 3 Modulator Card with EIA-530 Interface
Slot 4 Modulator Card with EIA-530 Interface
Notes:
Also shown, placed above the CDM-Qx are the modulator and demodulator cards with G.703 Unbalanced (BNC) interface.
Typically each modulator and demodulator card requires a data interface. However, if configured as a modem, only the demodulator
card requires a data interface.
Unlike other data interfaces, the Quad E1 interface requires 2 slots in the CDM-Qx/QxL chassis
