SIM Selection for Serial Port B (J15)
Port B of the MVME172P4 Z85230 serial communications controller is
configurable via a serial interface module (SIM) that is installed at
connector J15 on the board. Five serial interface modules are available:
❏
EIA-232-D (DCE and DTE)
❏
EIA-530 (DCE and DTE)
❏
EIA-485/EIA-422 (DCE or DTE)
You can change Port B from an EIA-232-D to an EIA-530 interface or to
an EIA-485/EIA-422 interface (or vice-versa) by mounting the appropriate
serial interface module. Port B is routed (via the SIM at J15) to the 25-pin
DB25 front panel connector marked
SERIAL PORT 2
.
