There’s a model for DB25  
cabling and one for RJ-11 cabling  
to fit your needs. The DB25 model  
is available in 115- or 230-VAC  
versions.  
various speeds. You can config-  
ure each port for word structure,  
baud rate, flow control, and DTE  
or DCE operation.  
Versions are available for 115-  
or 230-VAC power.  
f you want to transmit data to  
Imore than one printer or terminal  
at the same time, choose among  
our Data Broadcast Units,  
Buffered Data Broadcast Units,  
and Parallel Data Broadcast/  
Fallback Unit. These solutions  
get the job done—without losing  
signal strength!  
Data Broadcast Units:  
Fully regenerate an  
async host signal and  
broadcast it out to  
eight slave ports.  
Parallel Data Broadcast/  
Fallback Unit  
This unit lets you send parallel  
data to two printers simultaneous-  
ly, or designate a backup printer  
in case your primary printer fails.  
Choose from DB25  
or RJ-11 versions.  
Buffered Data Broadcast Units  
The Buffered Data Broadcast  
Units function in the same way as  
the Data Broadcast Units, but they  
also feature individually buffered  
ports. These let you send async  
data to devices operating at  
Data Broadcast Units  
Buffered Data  
The Data Broadcast Units  
Broadcast Units:  
Port buffering lets your  
connected devices  
receive data continu-  
ously, regardless of  
their speeds.  
enable you to transmit data from  
any serial async device to up to  
eight printers, modems, or  
terminals simultaneously.  
The Data Broadcast Units take  
the RS-232 signal from your async  
host, divide it among eight slave  
Parallel Data Broad-  
cast/Fallback Unit:  
Sends parallel data to  
two printers at once,  
or “falls back” for  
continuous data output.
