Connecting Asynchronous Devices
There are two types of asynchronous cards:
■
8-Port IPC-900 or Gemini-1000 Asynchronous Serial Card
■
EQUINOX Megaport 8C5 8-Port Serial I/O Card
There are two ways to connect the MAP/100 to a terminal, modem, or other DTE
or DCE devices via an asynchronous link:
■
Using COM1, an asynchronous port on the rear of the MAP/100
■
Using the additional asynchronous ports on the optional Multi-port Serial
card
NOTE:
The MAP/100 provides two asynchronous ports, COM1 and COM2.
However, COM1 is usually reserved for Lucent Technologies’ remote
maintenance and is not available for asynchronous connections.
Using COM1
A 9-pin D subminiature male connector is provided on the rear panel of the
MAP/100 for COM1. This connector connects internally to the CPU. COM1
supports asynchronous host connections running at 300–19,200 baud.
Networking modems typically use the 19,200 baud rate.
See
, if you need pinout information for the COM1
connector.
Using the 8-Port Asynchronous
Circuit Card
The optional 8-Port Asynchronous circuit card provides eight additional
asynchronous ports for connecting to modems, terminals, or switch integration
devices.
NOTE:
Each port has a maximum of 9600 Baud rate.
