IF Connections
3.3.1 Data Interface Connector, DB-25F
and EIA-232. A shielded DB-25F connector provides a very solid solution to EMC problems,
unlike the sometimes-used V.35 Winchester connector.

1.
When the rear-panel switch marked "1:N Switch" is in the OFF position, all of the signals shown
above are available and functional. In addition, pins not shown are not connected, and therefore no
damage will occur if other signals are connected to the additional pins.
2.
When the rear-panel switch marked "1:N Switch" is in the ON position, the highlighted signals, plus
pins 18, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 25 are reserved for use by the 1:N system. DO NOT connect signals to
any of these pins in this mode. Certain pins have DC voltages present that may damage equipment
other than a Comtech EF Data redundancy switch.
For X.21 operation, use the EIA-422 pins, but ignore Receive Clock if the Modem is DTE, and ignore
3.
Transmit Clocks if the Modem is DCE.
The 25-pin 'D' type female (DB-25F) Data Interface connector
conducts data input and output breakout panel, or protection switch.
This connector conforms to the EIA-530 pinout, which allows for
connection of different electrical standards, including EIA-422, V.35,
THE MODEM IS ALWAYS ASSUMED TO BE DCE
