Hardware
•
PCI long card, 1 slot used
•
NET2 conformance
•
2 Mbps per port (4 x 2Mbps Max)
•
Maximum line speed:
V24: 28.8 Kbps
V.35: 64 Kbps
V.11/X.21: 2 Mbps
•
4 x HDLC communication controllers (4 x ZILOG IUSC) available on the card. Each one is
customized with one of the following interfaces: V.24, V.35 and V.11/X.21. This adapter allows to
have either 4 times the same interface or different types of interfaces on the same board. The 4-Port
Multi-protocol Serial I/O Adapter provides an efficient way to have independent ports and allows a
high availability of the board in case of troubles. Furthermore, flexibility is insured in case of
evolution of one of the interfaces.
Cables
The board provides a 100 points female connector. A 2m cable attaches the 100 points connector to a
distribution box. The distribution box has four 25 points connectors that could be connected to
appropriate cables providing different types of interfaces. The cables are listed hereafter:
•
V.24 cable: up to 28.8 Kbps (10m)
•
V.35 cable: up to 64 Kbps (10m)
•
V.11/X.21 cables: up to 2 Mbps (10m)
Attachment
The controller fits into a single long PCI adapter slot
