RS232 Multi Computer Adapter

Two data sources - one peripheral

The Multi Computer Adapter enables connection of two serial data sources with a peripheral. Automatic switching between both senders is time-controlled.

Application: 2 PCs share a card reader

Product properties:

Interfaces:

• 3 x RS232, 9-pin SUB-D connector
  • 1x DTE pinout
  • 2x DCE pinout

Management and Connectivity:

• 2 PCs share a serial terminal device:
  • Printer
  • Plotter
  • Hand scanner
  • Card reader
  • etc...
• Switching modes:
  • Automatic switching on "first come, first served" basis
  • manual switching using buttons directly on the device
  • with simultaneous sending of all data on the Master port to both Slave ports with automatically switching feedback channel (splitter mode)
• Data back channel permits connection of bi-directional peripherals
• Individual configuration of interfaces
