† DSR (Pin 2 on a 10 pin connector, Pin 1 on an 8 pin
connector) can be swapped with DCD. This reverses the position
of these two signals in 10 pin or allows DCD to be used instead
of DSR on an 8 pin connector.
Consult the driver documentation for how to do this in your
specific operating system.
Refer to the CD-ROM for more detailed cabling information.

AccelePort Xp Family:
Adapter Installation
Introduction
® ™
An AccelePort Xp host adapter easily expands the number of
EIA-232 ports available on your computer, allowing you to cable
additional peripheral devices, such as modems, terminals or serial
printers, directly to your computer.
The 2p adapter has two male DB-9 connectors, each providing an
EIA-232 peripheral port connection.
The AccelePort 4p RJ45 adapter provides four RJ45 connectors for
multiple EIA-232 serial devices.
The 4p and 8p adapters have one HD-68 connector to which a special
Digi connector assembly is attached to provide the peripheral port
connections. There are five different connector assembly options
available from Digi to use with 4p and 8p adapters:
• RJ-45 Connector Box
• DB-25 Connector Box
• DB-9 Connector Box
• DB-25 Fan-out Cable
• DB-9 Fan-out Cable
The 16p adapter has two HD-68 connectors and accommodates two of
the above assemblies (in any combination), or a 16-port rack-mountable
connector box configurable with either DB-25 or RJ-45 connectors.
This installation guide describes how to plan your setup and install an
AccelePort Xp host adapter.
