MINI INTERFACE CONVERTERS
2.2 Available Models
IC954A-M
For converting between V.24/RS-232 and
V.36/RS-422 interfaces. The IC954A-M is switch-
selectable and is used either for connecting a
V.24/RS-232 DTE to a V.36/RS-422 DCE, or for
connecting a V.24 DCE to a V.35 DTE.
Installing the Converter is simple, since it plugs
directly into the DCE and DTE. Connect the
Converter directly to the RS-232/V.24 device, and
the cable connector to the RS-449 device. The
Converter comes factory strapped for RS-232
DTE/RS-449 DCE. To alternate this configuration:
1) Separate the two halves of the plastic cover by
pressing the marked places on the sides,
starting at the cable end.
2) Remove the 40-pin DTE/DCE socket by gently
grasping both sides and slowly moving it from
side to side.
3) Replace the socket so that the DCE faces the
RS-232 connector and the DTE faces the RS-449
device. Make sure that the pins are aligned with
the socket.
