Note:
1. The ACM/Flex16 with RS-232 and/or 20mA Current Loop
interfaces only requires the connection of one external power
supply for every 48 ports connected to a HOST Adapter.
2. The ACM/Flex16 with RS-485 only or a combination of
RS-232 and RS-485 and 20mA Current Loop interfaces
requires the connection of one external power supply for
every 32 ports connected to a HOST Adapter.
3. Please install all the metal straps provided to insure a
proper connection between ACM/16/16RJ/Flex16 modules.
You should install these straps between both the top and the
bottom of the ACM/16/16RJ/Flex16 modules. Failure to do
so will cause an intermittent connection that will disrupt
communications.
