Connecting Peripherals to an Optional Synchronous Port
If the system has the DSW43-AA synchronous communications option installed, the
system has two synchronous modem ports. 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 3-3.
To connect a peripheral to a synchronous port, refer to Figure 2-18 and follow these steps:
1. Set the ON/OFF switch on the peripheral to the OFF (O) position.
2. Connect the 100-pin-to-2x50-pin cable, supplied with your DSW43-AA. (See Figure
2-18, Item 1).
3. Connect the 50-pin connector of the option cable to one of the synchronous cable
ports on the back of the system unit. (See Figure 2-18, Item 2).
4. Connect the other connector of the option cable to the communications port on the
peripheral.
5. If the option cable connectors are fitted with screws, secure the connectors to the ports
by tightening them on each side.
6. Set the ON/OFF switch on the peripheral to the ON (l) position.
