This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 90-41. Matrix, Digital Cross-Point, 48 input by 48out ports, each port shall have 25 individual leads. Port connections shall be invisible to all port signals (no signal change or disruption). Ports shall connect any one input to any one output with optional port group connections, software programmable. Port leads connected shall pass data, clocks, transitions and voltage levels (i.e. 1VDC to 7 VDC voltage + or -) as if dry contact (non-TDM) relay style. Port lead connection shall provide full duplex capability for all signals, as a minimum, 1.RS-232 protocols 2. RS-422 protocols 3. RS-530 protocols 4. Mil Std 188-114 protocols 5. IEEE-488 protocols 6. Voltage clamping no lower than 7 VDC. The matrix shall be a self contained unit with dimensions not exceeding 19" rack width, 20" height and 20" depth. The matrix shall be controlled via separate connector. Control interface options shall meet RS-232, RS-422 and IEEE-488 interface standards. Matrix control protocol shall be in the form of an ASCII syntax. At a minimum, commands shall be provided to connect port, delete port, verify port, dump matrix status, and clear all connections. ASCII acknowledgments or error codes shall be provided for every command sent. All ports shall have external, individual DB-25 (female) connectors for a total of 96 connectors. No cable/port concentrator units shall be employed (TDM). Software option to provide automated swap from faulty port to next good port. The matrix shall include redundant power supplies. The front panel shall have LED indicators for 1. Power on and 2. DC Voltages within operational range, each voltage having it's own display. See Numbered Note 1.
