7 ComPorts
The SMT410 gives access to all six TIM site ComPorts. One of four ComPorts can be
connected through a high drive buffer to a connector on the rear panel of the card.
This connection and switching is achieved using Quick switches alleviating the need
for patch cables.
Two of the TIM site ComPorts are connected straight to 14-way surface-mount FMS
connectors for connection to other ComPort compatible devices within the same
chassis.
There is a connection from the PCI interface to ComPort 3 for booting the TIM. This
connection can be severed with a quick switch (clear
CENc ) allowing ComPort 3 to be
used for other purposes. This also allows the PCI interface ComPort to be used
independently of the TIM as it is also wired to a 14-way surface-mount FMS
connector.
