2.2  DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 2036 and 2037 Parallel to Serial Converter

automatically convert RS-232 serial data to parallel data format or vice
versa.  Incorporating advanced microprocessor technology, the Model
2036 and 2037 automatically sense and select parallel and serial
modes, as well as DCE/DTE modes.  Requiring no AC power, the
Model 2036 and 2037 support serial data rates to 115,200 kbps.

For easy configuration, the Model 2036 and 2037 feature a

convenient set of external configuration switches.  These accessible
configuration switches allow the user to control baud rate, parity, word
length and flow control.  An easy-to-read LED indicator displays status
and operating condition.

Housed in an ultra-miniature ABS plastic case, the Model 2036

comes equipped with a DB-25 female or male connector on the serial
side and a Centronics

36 pin male connector on the parallel side.

The Model 2037 is housed in the same convenient case and comes
equipped with a DB-25 female connector on the serial side and male 

or

female connector on the parallel side.
