Appendix B: Connector Pinouts

A cable with 37 pin connectors connects the Intellicon- NT960/PCI host adapter to an ACM/16, ACM/Flex16 or ACM/16RJ external module. ACM/16, ACM/Flex16 and ACM/16RJ modules also connect to each other via 37 pin connectors. These connections are a proprietary external bus interface not a serial interface, and therefore no pinouts are given for the 37 pin connectors.

ACM/16 Pinouts

The ACM/16 provides male DB-9 connectors for each port. For the DB-9 pinout information please refer to Table 3.

Technical Tip:

Please ensure that you terminate the DCD or CTS signals if your application does not use them. The common way to do this is to connect DCD to DTR and/or to connect CTS to RTS. Failure to do so may result in a loss of a performance on your Intellicon- NT960/PCI subsystem.
