- Asynchronous Communication Subsystem
-
- The intelligent ATconnect asynchronous communications subsystem allows the
- connection of 8 to 256 asynchronous devices such as terminals, printers and
- modems to PC/AT systems. The ATconnect consists of a single-board ATbus host
- adapter; one or more 8- or 16-channel intelligent Remote Async Concentrators
- (RACs); device drivers for SCO XENIX; and twisted-pair cabling. UNIX character
- processing is supported by the intelligent ATbus host adapter. Data rates up to
- 38.4 Kbps, full-duplex with 100 percent line utilization are supported. Single
- twisted-pair RJ-45 cabling, with 1000 feet plus length, connects the ATbus host
- adapter and each RAC. Multiple RACs can be connected via a daisy chain or star
- topology. Information is transmitted between the host system and each RAC over
- the twisted-pair cable via a 2 Mbps data link. An optional Hub Controller
- featuring fiber-optic links increases the number of async devices and the
- overall length of the network.
