Serial Interface Modules
3-26
The features of the TMCP700 include:
❏
A parallel printer port (IEEE 1284-I compliant)
❏
Two EIA-232-D asynchronous serial ports (identified as
on the front panel)
COM2
❏
Two synchronous serial ports (
panel), configured for EIA-232-D, EIA-530, V.35, or X.21
protocols
❏
Two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports
❏
Two 60-pin Serial Interface Module (SIM) connectors
❏
A 40-pin header for the secondary EIDE port
❏
Two 64-pin headers for PMC IO
❏
A 34-pin header for a floppy port
❏
A 2-pin header for speaker output
The synchronous serial ports on the TMCP700 are configured via Serial
Interface Modules (SIMs), used in conjunction with the appropriate
jumper settings on the transition module. The SIMs are small plug-in
printed circuit boards which contain all the circuitry needed to convert a
TTL-level port to the standard voltage levels needed by various industry-
standard serial interfaces, such as EIA-232, EIA-530, etc. SIMs are
available for the following configurations:
