EIA/TIA-232 Connections

The EIA/TIA-232 standard supports unbalanced circuits at signal speeds up to 64 kbps.
For connection to a Cisco VG224 voice gateway serial port, use the EIA/TIA-232 serial transition cable
with the Cisco 12-in-1 connector on one end and a DB-25 connector (as shown in
other. The DB-25 connector can be male for DTE or female for DCE. To order a cable, see the
Technical Assistance" section on page

EIA/TIA-449 Connections

The EIA/TIA-449 standard, which supports balanced and unbalanced transmissions, is a faster (up to
2 Mbps) version of the EIA/TIA-232 standard that provides more functions and supports transmission
over greater distances.
The EIA/TIA-449 standard was intended to replace the EIA/TIA-232 standard. However, this standard
was not widely adopted because of the large installed base of DB-25 hardware. Also, the larger size of
the 37-pin EIA/TIA-449 connectors limited the number of connections possible (fewer than are possible
with the smaller, 25-pin EIA/TIA-232 connector).
To make a connection to a Cisco VG224 voice gateway serial port, use the EIA/TIA-449 serial transition
cable with the Cisco 12-in-1 connector on one end and a DB-37 connector (as shown in
the other. The DB-37 connector can be male for DTE or female for DCE. To order a cable, see the
