The Cluster Box, also called Remote Async Node, is an intelligent interface device for use with the
128-Port Async Controller.
It is connected to the 128-Port Async Controller through a synchronous link.
Features
•
16 async ports (RJ45 connectors), each with a data interchange rate of up to 115,2 Kbps
•
Support for cable lengths of up to 61m (200 ft) (provided the cable does not exceed a load
capacitance of 2500pf).
•
EIA-232D compatibility
•
Full set of modem control signals
•
External power supply
•
