V.35/RS-449/RS-530 Network Interface Module

The following paragraphs provide technical information about the

V.35/RS-449/RS-530 network interface module available with the

ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000.

The system’s V.35/RS-449/RS-530 network interface module is not interchangeable with the previous V.35 network interface module. The new module uses HD-44F connectors for ports 1 and 2, and uses a keyed RJ-45 connector for the serial link to the back panel of the ViewStation FX or VS4000. The cable used with the V.35/RS-449/RS-530 network interface module is the same as is used for the PRI network interface module. It is shown in Figure 2-5.An HD-44M to DB-25F adapter cable is available to connect existing ViewStation DB-25 interface module V.35 network cables.

“Common speeds” are divisible by both 56 and 64. The V.35/RS-449/RS-530 network interface module supports the following common speeds:

448 Kbps

896 Kbps

1344 Kbps (E1 only)
