Gandalf LDS 120E limited-distance modem
The Gandalf LDS 120E limited-distance modem allows you to extend the
distance between the IPE Module or the Application Module and any
connected peripheral up to a nominal distance of 8 km (5 miles). Figure 81
illustrates the hardware configuration required to use the Gandalf LDS 120E
modem.
Ensure that the jumper options match the settings shown in Figure 82. The
switch on the back of the modem should be set to the ÒnormalÓ position.
