4.7 Connecting Peripherals
You can connect a wide variety of peripherals to your DECsystem 5100:
terminals, printers, modems, or other devices that use either the RS232 25-pin
D-sub connector or DEC423 MMJ connector.
The basic DECsystem 5100, without the DHT80 asynchronous module,
provides three MMJ ports and one modem (25-pin D-sub) port. MMJ port 3 is
reserved for the console terminal. You can use any of the other three ports to
connect peripherals.
The optional DHT80 asynchronous module (if installed) provides a further
seven MMJ ports, and a second modem port.
If you need a further DEC423 MMJ port and if you are not using one of
the modem ports, you can convert the modem port to an MMJ port, using a
DEC423 to RS232 adapter (H8575-A).
