EIA-232-D Connections
MVME162/D2 A-3
A
Notes
1. A high EIA-232-D signal level is +3 to +15 volts. A low level is
-3 to -15 volts. Connecting units in parallel may produce out-
of-range voltages and is contrary to specifications.
2. The EIA-232-D interface is intended to connect a terminal to a
modem. When computers are connected without modems,
one computer must be configured as a modem and the other
as a terminal.
Interface Characteristics
The EIA-232-D interface standard specifies all parameters for serial binary
data interchange between DTE and DCE devices using unbalanced lines. EIA-
232-D transmitter and receiver parameters applicable to the MVME162 are
listed in Tables A-2 and A-3.
