Interface Selection The ACB-MP.LPCI supports a variety of electrical interfaces. Refer to the Control and Status Register Definitions found in the Technical Description section of this manual for this bit description. There is line termination on RXD, RXC, and TXC in the following modes: RS-530, RS-530A, RS-485T, and V.35.
2.54 inches (6.45 cm) Manufacturing All Sealevel Systems Printed Circuit boards are built to UL 94V0 rating and are 100% electrically tested. These printed circuit boards are solder mask over bare copper with either Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) or Hot Air Solder Leveled (HASL) finish.
No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address. 6. Try the Sealevel Systems adapter with a unique IRQ. While the Sealevel Systems adapter does allow the sharing of IRQs, many other adapters (i.e., SCSI adapters and on-board serial ports) do not.
When calling for technical assistance, please have your user manual and current adapter settings. If possible, please have the adapter installed in a computer ready to run diagnostics. Sealevel Systems provides an FAQ section on its web site. Please refer to this to answer many common questions. This section can be found at http://www.sealevel.com/faq.asp.
0 (space) and -12 volts (-3 to -10 volts) denotes a binary 1 (mark). The RS-232 and the EIA/TIA-574 specification defines two type of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit- Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel Systems adapter is a DTE interface. RS-422 The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced voltage digital interface circuits.

In RS-530 the signals all of the modem control signals are differential, in RS-530A some of these signals are single ended. The RS 530 specification defines two types of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel Systems adapter is a DTE interface.
