These solutions are aimed for connections to amultiplexer, which in turn is connected to a telecommunications transmissionnetwork (for example PDH).Telecom.

The IEEE/ANSIC37.94 protocol is always used between LDCM and the modem.19.1.3 Setting guidelines M12454-3 v7ChannelMode can be set to Normal or Blocked. It can also be set to OutOfService.In that case, the communication channel remains active, and a message is sent tothe remote IED that the local IED is out of service. However, no COMFAIL signalexists and the analog and binary values are sent as zero.1MRK 505 393-UEN B Section 19Remote communicationLine differential protection RED650 2.2 IEC 395Application manual
