Edition Notice:

Second Edition - November 1996

This is the second edition of this manual, it describes the following equipment:

TIRIS 2-channel Transmit/Receive Multiplexer Module 

RI-MOD-TX2A

TIRIS 4-channel Transmit/Receive Multiplexer Module 

RI-MOD-TX4A

The text on page 13 about Jumper J5 has been changed to include the S25x0 Reader and a new
figure (figure 6) showing how to connect the Multiplexer Module to the S25x0 has been
included.
