Serial Port Interface Modules
You may configure the asynchronous/synchronous serial ports (ports 3 and 4) to the
appropriate interface by installing a Serial Interface Module (SIM). A SIM is a small “plug-in”
printed circuit board that converts the TTL-level synchronous or asynchronous port signals to
industry standard voltage levels used by the ports. The SIM contains the receiver and
transmitter circuits for converting the input and output signals of the host VMEmodule to the
appropriate serial data communication protocol.
