EiconCard P92 Installation Guide 7
Selecting an Interface
The EiconCard P92 can connect as a DTE to devices such as Data
Service Units (DSUs) which support one of the following interfaces:
V.24, V.35, EIA-530, V.36/RS-449, or X.21. It can also connect
directly to a host computer, or back-to-back to another EiconCard.
Each VHSI port is configured independently.
Table 1 lists the most common connections for each interface, and
gives the part number of the required Eicon Technology cable. For
information on making your own cables, see “Interface
Specifications,” on page 9.
Table 1. Standard Interface Cables
To use an interface, simply install the appropriate cable. The
EiconCard P92 recognizes the cable and automatically prepares the
port for that interface.
Consult the documentation which came with your networking
software for more information about port configuration.
