ORDERING INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
MODEL NUMBER DESCRIPTION
Put legacy equipment with incompatible communications standards back
into service. Many older or proprietary system devices lack the option to
reconfigure baud rates, data formats, and handshaking.
232BRC
RS-232 Baud Rate Converter
ACCESSORIES
Model 232BRC acts as a translator between asynchronous devices,
matching each device’s needs while maintaining the highest possible
throughput. Each side can be individually configured to suit the device
connected to it.
SMI6-12-V-P230-C1 - Power Supply, 12 VDC, 6 Watt, 2.5 mm Plug, International AC
Input, International AC Blades
232CAMR - DB9 Male to DB25 Female Serial Adapter Cable, 15.2 cm (6 inches)
232CAMS - DB9 Female to DB25 Male Serial Adapter Cable, 15.2 cm (6 inches)
9PAMF6 - DB9 Male to DB9 Female Serial Adapter Cable, 1.83 m (6 feet)
Model 232BRC supports data rates up to 115.2 kbps and all standard
data formats. Each side can either supply or accept hardware or software
handshaking, allowing the higher speed device to be located on either port.
The included PC setup software walks the user through all possible options.
Once configured by a PC, the module may be installed on any system.
Non-volatile memory maintains the parameters when power is removed.
A detailed instruction manual and software is provided on the included CD
ROM. A 12VDC power supply is required (not included).
