CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
2.1 Description
The V.35
↔
HSSI Interface Converter allows an HSSI (HD50) device to
communicate bi-directionally with a V.35 device at synchronous data rates up
to 10 Mbps. The Converter supports all HSSI co-directional timing patterns, 2
loopback modes (local and remote line), full-duplex data, and control signals.
The Converter is available in two versions. The Model IC946A lets a V.35 DTE
device communicate with an HSSI DCE device. The IC945A lets a V.35 DCE
device communicate with an HSSI DTE device.
Both versions are equipped with a male M/34 connector on the converter
end and a male HD50 on the end of a 6-foot (1.8-m) cable. Power is supplied
to the Converter by an external desktop AC transformer.
