NON-POWERED INTERFACE CONVERTERS
3.4 IC487A-F
The Converter plugs directly into the DCE and
the 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, as shown
in Figure 3-7. To change this configuration:
1. Separate the two parts 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, while pulling up.
3. Turn the socket around and replace it so that
the DCE faces the RS-232 connector and the
DTE faces the RS-449 device (see Figure 3-8).
Make sure that the pins are aligned with the
socket.
NOTE
When setting DTE/DCE options, the setting applies to the type
of interface connecting to, not what the converter appears as.
4. Close the unit by pressing the two plastic
covers together.
