NM-4A/S
4-port asynchronous/
synchronous serial
network module
Provides four low-speed
serial connections via DB-
60 connectors that support
five interface types (RS-
232, RS-449, RS-530, V.35,
X.21) in either DTE or DCE
mode. The low-speed
serial connections can be
configured for up to either
11 5.2 kbps asynchronous
or 128 kbps synchronous
serial traffic.
