four auxiliary serial ports on each DXOPT-COM communications
card. The DXOPT-COM cards are installed onto the DXAUX
auxiliary circuit board. Since a DXAUX board accepts two
.
DXOPT-COM cards and the system accepts two DXAUX boards, the
DXP can provide a maximum of 16 auxiliary serial data ports.
Every serial data port provides an RS232 interface that you can use for
such things as VDT, modem, and data printer connection (for modem
information, see the paragraph entitled ‘Modern Setup” within this
section). The system recognizes the serial data ports by unique number
identifiers (see the paragraph on auxiliary data ports on the following
pa&.
On the serial data ports menu you set the data communications
parameters of the serial data ports. The serial data parameters that you
set using this procedure remain in effect until you reprogram them.
The settings will not change even if you perform a master clear of the
system (unless you use the switched master clear method detailed in
Section 5.2; With that procedure, the system also defaults its serial
data ports).
NOTE: The main serial data ports are high-speed data ports that
are programmable to 9600 baud.
