IR-X.21B Interface Module
This appendix:
• Provides a general description of the IR-X.21B interface module
• Describes the IR-X.21B connectors and pin assignments
• Describes the IR-X.21B interface module
• Describes the EXT mode for the IR-X.21B
• Describes the INT/RCV mode for the IR-X.21B.
C.1 Description
The IR-X.21B is an interface module for RAD modems, converting X.21 signals to
TTL levels. The converted data is sent over the modem link, using the modem
modulation technique, and is converted back at the other end into X.21 signals, or
into any other digital interface signal.
Figure C-1 shows a typical application of the ASM-20 standalone modem with the
IR-X.21B interface module.
