The Interface Clear (IFC) signal is used by the System Controller in order to initialize all device interfaces to a known state.

The Remote Enable (REN) signal is used by the System Controller. REN enables a device to go into remote mode when addressed to listen. When in remote mode, a device will ignore its local front-panel controls.

The Service Request (SRQ) line is like an interrupt: it may be asserted by any device to request the Controller to take some action. The Controller must determine which device is asserting SRQ by conducting a serial poll. The requesting device releases SRQ when it’s polled.

Why Buy From Black Box?

Exceptional Value. Exceptional

Tech Support. Period.

Recognize any of these situations?

•You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support.

•The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.

•You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you.

•It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.

At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the

best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application.

Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
