Understanding The Communications Card
The communications card provides serial data ports for interfacing such items as open architecture interface
applications, PC attendant positions, and the SMDA data printer.
NOTE: The serial data ports provided by the communications card are in addition to the two that are located on
the CPU board.
You can install communications cards at the front two positions on the auxiliary board.
With each communications card providing four serial data ports, and with the auxiliary board accepting two cards,
the system can have a total of 10 serial data ports. The system designates these ports as COM 3 through COM 10.
The maximum serial data transfer rate available through COM ports 3–10 is 19,200 baud.
