  • Page 27: Rs-232 To Rs-449 Connections

    RS-232 to RS-449 Connections In order to connect RS-232 devices to the adapter, you need to install an externally powered RS-449 to RS-232 interface converter to each DB-37 connector on which you intend to connect an RS-232 device. A converter is necessary because of incompatibilities between RS-232 and RS-449 signal levels.

  • Page 39: Hdlc Mode

    HDLC Mode The default operating mode used by the SunHSI software is the HDLC full-duplex protocol (mode=fdx). In this mode the transmitter is always enabled. The transmitter sends flag bytes continuously when it is not sending a data frame. If no message is currently being transmitted, the driver will attempt to start sending its next message.

  • Page 40: Hsip_Loop Utility

    If the CTS signal drops before the frame transmission is complete, the frame is discarded and the abort error statistic is incremented. If the transmission underruns, an abort sequence is not sent and the frame is silently discarded. The RTS signal remains asserted until the data transmission is complete.

  • Page 41: Hsip_Stat Utility

    hsip_stat Utility The hsip_stat utility reports the event statistics maintained by the SunHSI device driver. The report might be a single snapshot of the accumulated totals, or a series of samples showing incremental changes. At the beginning of the report, the device name being used to query a particular device appears.

  • Page 49: Null Modem Cable Requirements

    A P P E N D I X Null Modem Cable Requirements A synchronous null modem cable is a specially-configured cable that simulates modems that are connected back-to-back. When the distance between the two host systems is not great, you may be able to use a null modem cable instead of a synchronous modem or a synchronous modem eliminator.

  • Page 50: Configuring Internal Or External Clocking

    Configuring Internal or External Clocking To configure an RS-449 port to provide transmit clocking for itself as well as receive clocking for the other end of the link, set the txc (transmit clock) and rxc (receive clock) parameters in hsip_init to baud and rxc, respectively. For example, the following hsip_init command sets the data rate of the first Sun HSI serial port to 9600 bps and sets the clocking as just described: # hsip_init hihp0 9600 txc=baud rxc=rxc...

Each Sun supplies clocking on pins 17 and 35. The null modem cable routes this clocking to pins 8 and 26 on the opposite side to provide receive clocking.

  • Page 55: T1 Inverted Data And Clock Signals

    A P P E N D I X T1 Inverted Data and Clock Signals This appendix includes the following topics: “Data Signal Inversion” on page 35 ■ “Clock Signal Inversion” on page 37 ■ Data Signal Inversion The requirement for inverting data signals arises from the “ones density” problem you encounter with most T1 transmission lines in North America.

  • Page 56: Bipolar With 8-Zero Substitution

    inaudible—amount of distortion in the voice signal. Digital data streams between two computers are another matter, since the corruption of even one data bit causes a packet to be rejected. Note that in a typical data packet it is quite easy to produce bit patterns that violate the ones-density requirement.

  • Page 57: Clock Signal Inversion

    By inverting the data signal with HDLC framing on both ends of a link, the HDLC zero insertion algorithm becomes a ones insertion algorithm. This guarantees that in any set of seven bits, at least one bit will be a one. Thus, the HDLC data stream meets the density requirements of North American T1 lines without sacrificing any bandwidth.
