Design

SyncLink SDLC adapters are synchronous, full-duplex serial communications adapters available in the following models:

PCI

  • Single port GT Universal-voltage PCI bus master adapter supporting speeds up to 2Mbps.
  • 4-port GT4 PCI Universal-votage PCI bus master adapter supporting four simultaneous 2Mbps connections.

PCI Express

  • 2-port GT2e PCI Express bus master adapter supporting two simultaneous 2Mbps connections
  • 4-port GT4e PCI Express bus master adapter supporting four simultaneous 2Mbps connections.

PCMCIA

  • Type II PCMCIA card, speeds up to 512Kbps

SyncLink adapters cable directly to data communications equipment such as high-speed synchronous modems and digital service CSU/DSUs, as well as, satellite and RF modems through their serial interface ports. Each SyncLink port can be independently configured as V.35, RS-232, or RS-422/485 (RS-530, RS-449, X.21). Available conversion cables are required for each port for V.35, RS-449, RS-530, and X.21 applications. For DCE initialization and connection setup, SyncLink models support an asynchronous mode for sending "AT" commands the DCE.

SyncLink adapters feature Plug and Play configuration of adapter resources, such as I/O base address and interrupt request level. The number of adapters that can be installed is limited only by the number of expansion slots

The SyncLink PCMCIA adapter is hot swappable. To verify installation or test SyncLink at any time after installation, comprehensive board-level diagnostics can be activated in the Control Panel and Device Manager.
