CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
The V.35↔RS-422 Interface Converter comes in both 115-VAC (IC483A) and 230-VAC (IC483AE)
standalone units. A card version (IC483C) is available for rackmounting. The rack (RM060) is
switch-selectable for either 115-VAC or 230-VAC operation.
The V.35↔RS-422 Interface Converter provides bidirectional conversion of all the commonly used
V.35 and RS-422 signals. The unit operates with one port configured as Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE) and the other port configured as Data Communications Equipment (DCE).
The unit has two jumper-selectable configurations. One connects RS-422 modem equipment to V.35
terminal equipment (DCE to DTE). The other connects V.35 modem equipment to RS-422 terminal
equipment (DTE to DCE). Both configurations allow bidirectional data transfer. Typical applications
are shown in Figure 2-1.
NOTE
The Converter is configured opposite of the equipment you are connecting.

3. Installation
3.1 DIP Shunt Settings
The V.35↔RS-422 Interface Converter has two jumper selectable configurations determined by DIP
shunt settings located inside the unit on the printed circuit board. One configuration is for connecting
RS-422 DTE to V.35 DCE. The second configuration is for connecting V.35 DTE to RS-422 DCE. See
Figure 3-1 for more information on DIP Shunt settings.

CHAPTER 3: Installation
To install the V.35↔RS-422 Interface Converter, follow these steps and refer to Figures 3-1 and 3-2.
1. Set jumper XW6 to V.35 side when configuring the V.35 side of the unit as DTE. Set XW6 to the 422 side
when configuring the RS422 side of the unit as DTE. Jumper XW6 affects only the front panel LEDs.
2 & 3. When configuring V.35 as DTE and RS-422 as DCE, set jumpers in sockets labeled XW1B,
XW2B, XW3B, XW4A, and XW5A.
When configuring V.35 as DCE and RS-422 as DTE, set jumpers XW1A, XW2A, XW3A, XW4B, and XW5B.
4. Jumper W1 is used if the V.35 side of the Converter is DCE. If W1 is in the B-C position, the DTR signal
(pin H) is passed from the V.35 port through to pins 12 and 30 of the RS-422 port. If W1 is placed in
the A-B position, pins 12 and 30 are forced high. When the V.35 side is configured as DTE, W1 has no
effect and W2 is used instead. With W2 in the A-B position, the terminal ready (DTR) signal is passed
from the RS-422 side of the V.35 port. With W2 in the B-C position, Pin H is forced high.
5. Attach the cable from the RS-422 device to the 37-pin female receptacle (J1) on the rear panel of the
V.35↔RS-422 Interface Converter.
6. Attach the cable from the V.35 device to the 34-pin female M-block connector (J2) on the rear panel
of the V,35↔RS-422 Interface Converter.
7. Plug the 4-pin power cord into the receptacle on the rear panel of the case. Do not plug the power
module into an AC outlet yet. After the DIP shunts are set as explained in Section 3.1, plug the
power module into an AC outlet. The unit is now ready to use.

3.2 LEDs
The V.35↔RS-422 Interface Converter is equipped with ten LED indicators located on the front panel.
The row of type above the LEDs indicates the uses of the LEDs for a RS422 DTE/V.35 DCE
configuration. The row of type below the LEDs indicates the uses of the LEDs for a V.35DTE/RS422
DCE configuration. Refer to Figure 3-3. In the card version, the LED’s distinction is on the pull lever.

CHAPTER 4: Ground Strap and Pin Connections
4. Ground Strap and Pin Connections
4.1 Ground Strap
Signal grounds (Pins 19, 20, and 37 on the 422 interface and Pin B on the V.35 interface) are connected
together, but not connected to chassis ground (Pin A). However, for applications requiring the grounds
at a common reference point, the grounds can be connected by installing a jumper strap across W3
located at the rear of the printed circuit board between J1 and P1.

4.2 Pin Connections
Figures 4-1 and 4-2 show the pin connections for the V.35↔RS-422 Interface Converter. The illuminated
LEDs in these figures indicate incoming signals only.
The unit is shipped without the jumper (Rx) between signal ground and chassis ground. The RS-422
port is configured DTE and the V.35 port is configured DCE.
1
For operation with the RS422 port as DCE and the V.35 port as DTE, the signal directions are reversed .
Pins 12 and 30 of the RS422 port become inputs which are connected to a status LED.

In this configuration, W1 has no effect on the circuit W2 is used instead.
