Applications

The QPD841 Quad Serial Data Interface (QSDI) card is used to connect the switch to a variety
of communication devices and peripherals. Any RS-232-C compatible device can be
connected to any of the four serial ports.
The standard application for the QSDI card is to connect the switch to the system console.
This can be either a direct connection if the console is located near the switch, or through a
modem for remote maintenance.
Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a remote data terminal.
If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is used, select the dumb mode of operation
(Command Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the modem to the
asynchronous port.
Serial data interface connector J1 is a standard RS-232-C DB-25 connector that connects port
1 of the QSDI card to outside peripherals. Connector J2 is non-standard in that it contains the
connections for the three remaining serial ports (ports 2, 3, and 4), on a single DB-25 connector.
