Product Description: AI232 Hardware Components

AI232 Hardware Components

AI232 has four high-density connectors that provide 32 EIA-232-E asynchronous ports that support speeds up to and including 115 Kilobits per second. All ports have modem control for host or modem applications and can be used to connect user terminals, personal computers, modems, and other high-speed asynchronous ports. AI232 can also be used as a high-speed terminal server that handles asynchronous to TCP/IP conversions. A distribution panel is required to serve as a physical interface for AI232.

CAUTION: AIswitch and its peripherals contain electrostatic sensitive components. Exercise proper handling, shipping, and storage precautions.
