IMING
This circuit supplies the transmit clock to the encoder. Three clock sources are
available on the XMT CLK jumper (J3):
INT—Internal clock. From the modem’s internal crystal oscillator.
EXT—External clock. From DTE.
RCV—Receive clock. Recovered from the receive signal.
There is also an ASY (asynchronous) setting, but this has no function and should
not be selected.

EVELS
Two options are available for the transmit and receive signal levels: 0 and -6 dBm.
You can control the transmit level with the XMT LVL jumper. You can control the
receive level with the RCV LVL jumper.

ECEIVER
The receiver comprises several circuits, as shown in the block diagram (see
Figure 2-1):
The RECEIVE FILTER, which removes all the out-band frequencies.
The EQUALIZER, which comprises several equalizers activated according to
data rate.
The digital Automatic Gain Control (AGC), which automatically compensates
for the attenuation of the line.
