Chapter 8. PCI communication adapters
239
Two 2.4 MBps synchronous channels link the adapter to a maximum of eight
16-port Remote Async Nodes (RANs). Each synchronous channel uses an
HD-15 female connector to link up to four RANs. Each RAN supports either
EIA-232 or RS-422 connections (16 per RAN), and up to eight RANs may be
connected together yielding a total of 128 ports. The RAN utilizes an RJ-45
connector to provide interface signals at speeds up to 230 K baud at a limited
number of ports.
Feature characteristics
This feature has the following characteristics:
32-bit Bus Master PCI bus
Two synchronous channels to RAN
EIA-232 maximum distance of 31 meter and 62 meter depending on baud
rate and RAN
RS-422 maximum distance 1200 meter dependent on baud rate
