MULTI-FUNCTION LD CARD 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview The Multi-Function LD Card is a short-range modem on a dual rack card (it has a main [front] module and an interface [rear] module). The Card operates across two wires (half-duplex) or four wires (full- or half-duplex), communicating synchronously or asynchronously, up to a maximum range of 20 miles (32.2 km). You can set the Card to any of twelve data rates from 1.2 to 57.6 kbps. Local and remote modems on Multi-Function LD Cards always commun

MULTI-FUNCTION LD CARD This chapter describes the locations and posssible settings of the Multi- Function LD Card’s configuration controls, and provides detailed instructions for setting them. Section 3.1 tells you about the three 8-position DIP switches on the Card’s main (front) module. Section 3.2 tells you about the three jumpers (“straps”) on the Card’s interface (rear) module. Once you’ve configured the Multi-Function LD Card, it is designed to operate transparently, without needing to be
