MDS Series User’s Guide
Modular Design
RJ-11 jacks and RS-232 Modular Adapters provide quick, easy
connection to computers, modems, and other LAN hardware.
The MDS is compact and takes only one rack unit (1.75 inches)
of vertical rack space.
Modem Communication
The MDS can be controlled by a local PC that communicates
with the unit via cable, or controlled remotely via external
modem. ProComm® (or another communications program) is
used to send commands to connect ports or display status.
Configuration Backup
Once you have configured the MDS to fit your application,
parameters and options can be sent to an ASCII text file and
saved for future retrieval. If configuration is altered or deleted,
parameters can be reloaded using your communications program.
MDS-16 and MDS-8
This User's Guide discusses both the MDS-16 and MDS-8
Multipurpose Data Switches. The MDS-16 includes 16 ports,
and the MDS-8 includes eight ports. All other features function
identically.
