4.5.4 Connecting Peripherals to an Optional Synchronous Port
If the system has the DSW42-AA synchronous communications option
installed, the system has two synchronous modem ports. Section 4.1 gives
more information on the DSW42-AA synchronous communications option.
Table 4–1 lists the cables that you can use with the option. The EIA-232/V.24
cable (BC19D-02) is the standard cable shipped with the option. If you are
using a synchronous interface standard other than EIA-232/V.24, use one of the
optional cables listed in Table 4–1.
To connect a peripheral to a synchronous port, follow these steps:
1. Set the on/off switch on the peripheral to the off (O) position.
2. Connect the 50-pin connector of the option cable to one of the synchronous
ports on the back of the system unit (see Figure 4–8).
3. Connect the other connector of the option cable to the communications port
on the peripheral.
4. If the option cable connectors are fitted with screws, secure the connectors
to the ports by tightening them on each side.
5. Set the on/off switch on the peripheral to the on (|) position.
