The Fiber Optic Modem is used to simplify field wiring and increase transmission distances by
converting system copper-wired interfaces to fiber optic connections. It has field wiring
connections for the Digital Audio Riser, Analog Audio Risers, RUI, and 4120 Network. A
Modem pair replaces copper wiring between any two points including node-to-node,
node-to-transponder, and transponder-to-transponder. The Modem is invisible to the connected
equipment, and does not need to be programmed in as part of the job (except for power supply
current calculations). The Modem combines the input signals so they can be communicated over
one fiber in both directions.
In general, the Modem installation is accomplished by simply connecting the wires that would
normally be routed between cabinets to the Modem. The only additional steps required when
using a Modem rather than copper are:
1) Configuring the DIP switches and jumpers according to the application.
2) Routing the “x-link” wire if the system has Class A Analog Audio or Class A RUI.
Modems are always installed in pairs. There are four versions: a “right-port” and “left-port”
version for each type of fiber; left and right for single-mode and a left and right for multimode.
Any Modem link must consist of one of each type. The order in which Modem pairs are installed
is arbitrary. A “left-to-right” Modem pair can be followed by another “left-to-right” pair, or by a
“right-to-left” pair.
Enhanced Analog Audio (EAA): EAA refers to a reformatted version of the Analog Audio Riser
that is wired between modems. In an EAA system, modems pass the Riser to the next modem as a
digital signal via the DAR channel. EAA disallows the use of Analog Channel 2.
Generic: A “Generic” modem is any modem that is not a Head-End or Tail-End modem. In a
Class B configuration, all modems are generic.
Head end: A “Head-End” modem is a modem with an electrical connection to the primary side of
the head-end cabinet. If there are any fiber optic links between a modem and the head-end
cabinet, then that modem is not a head-end modem. A modem with additional nodes or
transponders between itself and the head-end cabinet, but no optical links, can still be a head-end
modem.
Local side: The “local side” of any configuration refers to all portions of the wiring loop that are
electrically connected to the head-end cabinet. Any wiring that is isolated from the head end via
one or more optical links is not electrically connected, and therefore considered “remote.”
NIC: Network Interface Card.
Remote side: The “remote side” of any configuration refers to all portions of the wiring loop that
are not electrically connected to the head-end cabinet. Any system that is electrically connected to
the head end (no optical links) is considered “local.”
RIC: Riser Interface Card.
Tail end: A “Tail-End” modem is a modem with an electrical connection to the secondary side
(also known as a Class A return) of the head-end cabinet. If there are any fiber optic links
between a modem and the head-end cabinet, then that modem is not considered a tail-end modem.
A modem with additional nodes or transponders between itself and the head end, but no optical
links, can still be a tail-end modem.
X-link: The “x-link” is a pair of RUI or Analog Audio Riser wires that connect head-end and tail-
end modems to one another. The link is required to maintain an electrical connection between the
primary and secondary sides of the local-side wiring loop. (X-link definition is continued on the
next page.)

X-link (continued): X-link connections are only required in Class A Analog Audio and Class A
RUI configurations. They are not required for the Digital Audio Riser interface, a Network
interface, or for any other Class B configuration. Where required, the x-link connection maintains
Class A supervision even though the remote side of the fiber link is electrically isolated. The x-
link is only wired between the two modems that are electrically connected to the head-end cabinet
via RUI or riser wiring. (It is still considered electrically connected even if there are transponders
between the modem and the head-end cabinet).
The Modem replaces copper wiring between a Digital Audio Controller and a Digital Audio Riser
Interface Card, or between Digital Audio Riser Interface cards. Modem connections can be used
between transponders, or between nodes in Network systems.
The Modem replaces copper wiring between an Analog Audio Controller and an Analog Audio
Riser Interface Card, or between Analog Audio Riser Interface cards. Modem connections can be
used between transponders, or between nodes in network systems. The Modem can be configured
for 10 Vrms audio risers (standard), 1 V peak-to-peak audio risers, or 0.707 Vrms.
The standard analog audio usage of the fiber modem imposes a 6-modem-pair limit on system
size. The Enhanced Analog Audio (EAA) feature removes this limitation by keeping a version of
the analog stream digital through the wired link. Using EAA imposes other limitations, however,
that include the following:
•Limitation to one analog channel only (Channel 1).
•Requires that the EAA wire (connected to DAR terminals) be close nippled (since it is
unsupervised).
•Excludes the usage of the DAR interface for the Digital Audio Riser because the DAR
interface is used as the EAA channel.
The Modem can replace either one or two wired connections between Network Interface Cards. It
can replace the right-port wire, the left-port wire, or both. The Network Interface Cards that the
Modem will connect to must have wired media cards installed. The Modem can be used to replace
wiring between any two NICs, and it can also be used in lieu of a Physical Bridge. When the
Modem is used in lieu of a Physical Bridge, the network topology appears as a typical ring
configuration since the Modem effectively replaces two wires between the local and remote node.
Refer to Figure A-18 that shows an Interconnected Loop without a Physical Bridge. The
Interconnected Loop normally requires a Physical Bridge but doesn’t in this diagram because
modems are used.
Note that references to 4020, 4120, and 4100 Legacy Fire Alarm Panel systems are for retrofit
applications only. None of these Fire Alarm System models have been listed to the Ninth Edition
of UL864.
The Modem replaces copper wiring between a CPU Motherboard and Transponder Interface card,
between Transponder Interface cards, or between a RUI card and Transponder Interface card.
Maximum of eight pairs of Modems for RUI if wired Class A.
The Audio Expansion Board allows the Fiber Optic Modem to interface with 4100 Legacy Audio
systems. The card has two channels, each of which are selectable for 70 Vrms or 25 Vrms risers.
The card converts the 70 Vrms or 25 Vrms to a 10 Vrms signal to be used by the modem. The
card connects to the modem via a ribbon harness.
