The 232SPS2 allows you to convert data from your parallel port to a serial communication format or to convert data from your serial port to a parallel communication format. Standard baud rates from 1200 to 115.2k with a variety of data formats can be used to match the user's serial port requirements. Both kinds of flow control, XON/XOFF and hardware handshaking, are supported by this unit. The unit may be port- powered using DTR and RTS on the serial port. If the 232SPS2 cannot be powered using the handshake lines, it may be powered using a 2.5mm jack. The 232SPS2 requires 12VDC @ 2 milliamps. NOTE: When using an external supply, the supply should be connected only to specifically labeled power inputs (power jack, terminal block, etc. ) . Connecting an external power supply to the handshake lines may damage the unit. Contact technical support for more information on connecting an external power supply to the handshake lines.
