 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board

The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface paddle board is used to connect the 
switch to a variety of communication devices, printers, and peripherals. Any 
RS-232-C compatible device can be connected to either of the card’s two 
serial ports.

The standard application for the paddle board is to connect the switch to the 
system console. This can be either a direct connection if the console is located 
near the switch, or through a modem for remote maintenance. 

Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a 
remote data terminal. If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is used, 
configure the modem for the dumb mode of operation (Command 
Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the modem to the 
asynchronous port.

The serial data interface connectors on the paddle board are not RS-232-C 
standard DB-25 connectors. The NT8D84AA interface cable is used to adapt 
the paddle board to a non-standard pinout DB-9 connector (normally located 
on the I/O panel). The NT8D93 cable is then used to connect the non-standard 
DB-9 connector to a peripheral that uses a RS-232-C standard DB-25 
connector. See Figure 157 on
