  • Page 3: Description Of Operation

    Description of operation The device usually stays with both its communication ports in reception state (idle status); the first transition (character) detected at one of the ports enables the corresponding communication channel, while the opposing port becomes the data outlet by repeating the stream (data flow) received on the first. Whenever the data flow is interrupted, after a period of time depending on the communication speed set, the device returns to its previous state of reception on both ports (idle status).The time for return to idle status is usually around 1.5 characters starting from the reception line's...
