Module Description The Serial Communications Module is an optional interface device
designed to provide a direct, digital link between serial communications
devices and any device that uses SCANport. The current list of products
that use SCANport includes: 1305, 1336 PLUS, 1336 FORCE, and SMP3
controllers. The module connects to these products through the SCANport
port.
The Communications Module is available in both Open style (Figure 2.1)
and Enclosed (Figure 2.2) type configurations. The Open style module
mounts inside certain drives, depending on drive size (see Table 2.A for
details). The Enclosed module mounts independently and can be used with
any compatible SCANport device.
