CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The 232SPS2 is a bi-directional parallel to serial converter. The 232SPS2 allows you to convert data from your parallel port to a serial communication format or to convert data from your serial port to a parallel communication format. Standard baud rates from 1200 to 115.2k with a variety of data formats can be used to match the user's serial port requirements. Both kinds of flow control, XON/XOFF and hardware handshaking, are supported by this unit.

The unit may be port-powered using DTR and RTS on the serial port. If the 232SPS2 cannot be powered using the handshake lines, it may be powered using a 2.5mm jack. The 232SPS2 requires 12VDC @ 2 milliamps.

NOTE: When using an external supply, the supply should be connected only to specifically labeled power inputs (power jack, terminal block, etc.). Connecting an external power supply to the handshake lines may damage the unit. Contact technical support for more information on connecting an external power supply to the handshake lines.
