Page 5 - CHAPTER 2: Introduction

The Code Operated Switch II (COS II) makes code-operated switching possible for diversecombinations of serial devices. As it switches, theCOS II also reconciles differences in word size,speed, flow control, and parity for up to fourdevices. An Expansion Board, available separately,doubles the maximu...

4.1. Introduction The primary action of the Switch consists ofdetecting and responding to control-codesequences. As it switches to a particular port, theCOS-II establishes a link between the master andthe slave device. After the COS-II has switched, itcan lock the link out, that is, it can ignore al...
