Networking (F-Series):  Networks either 5 or 9 ports together, i.e.,
allows any port to connect to any other port on the multiport controller.
 These also have host port control which allows a host computer
system to make and/or break any connection between two ports on
the multiport controller.

Broadcasting (G-Series):  Will simultaneously broadcast whatever
data is received on the host port out to either 4 or 8 peripheral devices
while sending data from a single selected peripheral device back to
the host device.  This unit is also capable of operating in a port
expansion mode such as the A-Series.

Auto T-Switch (T-Series):  Allows a group of up to 6 terminals to
switch between two computer systems.

NOTE:  All ports on the 500 Series are standard with EIA-232 ports.
EIA-422 and Current Loop ports are optionally available.

If you have questions concerning any of BayTech's products, please
feel free to call a BayTech Applications Engineer at either (800)523-
2702 or (601)467-8231.
