NBase-Xyplex 6-Wire Cabling
This cabling scheme provides XMT, RCV, DCD, DTR, RING, and ground
wires. Using this cabling scheme you can use either modem control or
hardware (DCD/DTR) flow control, but not both, since there are only three
control signals. This scheme is useful for applications which have simple
modem signalling requirements, such as:
·
Terminal emulation and file transfer applications (Kermit, Xmodem,
Microphone, etc).
·
Applications such as SLIP and PPP using low speed modems.
Figure 20 depicts the wiring that you would use to connect the serial port of
a NBase-Xyplex unit to a modem or other DCE device. For simplicity,
modular cables are shown in the figure; but there are other wiring options
available with this cabling scheme. (These are covered in more detail in the
hardware documentation supplied with your unit.) You can purchase
modular cables and adapters shown in the figure from NBase-Xyplex, or
make your own cables based on the wiring diagram.
