Sixteen-Port Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Network Module (NM-16A/S)
Figure 5
Sixteen-Port Async/Sync Network Module (NM-16A/S0
The NM-16A/S combines the rich multi-protocol support of the NM-4A/S and NM-8A/S with higher densities to
provide compelling price-per-port solutions for networking applications. In addition to the features of the NM-4A/
S and NM-8A/S, the NM-16A/S adds EIA-530A support, and support for physical lead manipulation in the IOS
configuration. Lead manipulation allows the user to configure the router to ignore input signals, view the state of
input signals, and to monitor the transitions of input signals.
LEDs
The Network Module has one Network Module status indicator, plus one status LEDs for each serial port.
Network Interfaces
Each Network Module has16 low-speed serialinterfaces using Smart Serial connectors.See Table 3 for the available
cables.
