Async to Sync Conversion

PPP uses HDLC-like framing as encapsulation, which can be bit-
oriented or character-oriented. Most ISDN routers use bit-oriented
HDLC framing, also known as synchronous transmission.
However, serial transmission in most personal computers is still
character-oriented, also known as asynchronous transmission. In
order for an ISDN router and PC to communicate, it's necessary to
do asynchronous to synchronous conversion. ZyXEL's TA128 can
be used as a bridge. Any data from a PC to ZyXEL TA will be
converted from asynchronous to synchronous form and vice versa.
