DESCRIPTION
The P-CON 48 has 48 RJ-11 or RJ-45 modular connectors on the front panel. Each group of 12 may have it's own rear mounted "Driver Module" that determines the type of output signal. The driver module is a PC board that converts the asynchronous RS-232 or TDI input signals into 12 isolated and separately regenerated output signals. They can be TDI, POLLED RS-232, or a combination.

One or more of the driver modules may be "chained" together on the panel, allowing one polled host line to potentially supply up to 48 output lines; each supporting a different signal discipline.

Connectors
The polled Driver Modules have a DB-25 male input connector with switch selections for either TDI or RS-232, DCE or DTE connections to the host. The Driver Modules are connected to the P-CON panel via a 50-pin telephone connector.

For complete redundancy, each Driver Module also has its own on-board power supply powered by a wall mount transformer. This modular approach allows for optimum flexibility and backup allowing the Driver Modules to be changed or added in just a few minutes.

Diagnostics
Each P-CON Driver module has five LEDs and an audible alarm that can be located up to 50' from the unit. Two of the LEDs monitor POWER as well as the HOST DATA Receive data signal. A single LED is also associated with each row of RJ-xx ports (4 ports) to monitor terminal activity. A solid LED accompanied by an audible alarm indicates a streaming terminal, short, or cross cable within the row.

Backup
P-CONs can also be used for backup to a LAN connected network. In this event, the operator can simply hot key back to COM 1 and use TDI or RS-232 as an alternate Poll/Select path to the host.

NOTE: Use these standard P-CONs on Point-to-Point Asynchronous polled networks only. Operation on Synchronous or Multi-Point async networks, may require an intelligent converter such as an M-SAT or M-BAT between the modem and the P-CON.

Mounting
The P-CON 48 is designed to fit a standard 19" rack. However an optional Flexie Bracket is available for Wall Mounting (plywood) or Tabletop Mounting. For Tabletop Mounting, the optional Top Cover and Feet are used, although the Top Cover may also be used in the Wall Mount configuration as a dust cover for one of the Flexie Backets.

It is made from 14 gauge cold rolled steel painted black. The EIA hole spacing standard is maintained for mounting standard 19" panels.

TDI
The TDI Driver Module is normally used to connect Unisys terminals that have built in TDI interfaces or PCs that utilize external or internal TDI converters.

The 12 separately isolated, two-wire, TDI driver circuits for each RJ-11/45 port allow cabling distances of up to 1500' per port when operating over twisted pair cable.

Since UTP cable does not support pin #1 frame ground, each TDI Module has a separate built in surge protection circuit and green wire ground connection that can be attached to a properly grounded rack or other handy ground.

POLLED RS-232
The POLLED RS-232 module is normally used to connect directly to the PC's, or the terminals, standard RS-232 serial port.

No terminal converters or boosters are required as long as the terminals are connected within a valid RS-232 cable range; normally 100-150 feet. When further distance connections are required, a small booster at the terminal may be used to drive the signal back to the P-CON (See AB-32).

The POLLED RS-232 Module incorporates CPS's Super Serial Drivers (SSD) that supports three wire RS-232 cable connections (TX-RX-Signal Ground) at distances of up to 2000'. A fourth conductor is also available that can be connected to the anti-streaming feature of the RS-232 module.

The RS-232 Module represents a very economical method of connecting polled PCs to the host without requiring a converter or internal board for each PC. Only those that are beyond the RS-232 distance limit may require the AB-32.

Also see the other P-CON 12, P-CON H, and the P-CON 8.

Caution: Be sure to order correctly. ALL of the polled 
Modules are switchable to TDI or RS-232 on the HOST PORT.  
The Modules are differentiated by the output signal to the 
terminals, i.e., Polled TDI, Polled RS-232, ... etc.
