X.21
X.21
is
an
interface
standard
using
differential
signals
on
a
DB
‐
15
connector.
To
use
this
standard,
install
the
RS
‐
422/485
jumpers
on
a
port
and
use
the
MicroGate
X.21
cable
(Part
#
2515FM).
The
X.21
signal
names
are
different
than
those
used
by
the
adapter
and
other
interface
standards.
The
mapping
of
the
X.21
signals
to
the
adapter
signals
are
shown
in
the
table
below.
The
maximum
data
rate
supported
by
the
adapter
when
using
X.21
is
10Mbps.
Cable
length
and
signal
loading
may
reduce
the
maximum
usable
data
rate
from
this
value.
