MINI INTERFACE CONVERTERS 2. Introduction 2.1 Description These interface converters enable connection between DTE and DCE data-communications equipment with different interfaces. They operate in synchronous applications (except for the IC952A and IC953A, which operate in asynchronous applications) at data rates up to 2048 kbps with balanced interface at both ends, or at data rates up to 200 kbps with V.24/RS-232 at one end.
MINI INTERFACE CONVERTERS 2.2 Available Models IC954A-M For converting between V.24/RS-232 and V.36/RS-422 interfaces. The IC954A-M is switch- selectable and is used either for connecting a V.24/RS-232 DTE to a V.36/RS-422 DCE, or for connecting a V.24 DCE to a V.35 DTE. Installing the Converter is simple, since it plugs directly into the DCE and DTE.
