| The PCX Series of ARCNET network interface modules (NIMs) links PC/XT/AT (ISA) compatible computers with the ARCNET local area network. The series is the ideal match for XT bus ISA compatibility.
The PCX incorporates the COM90C65 ARCNET controller chip, and the module works with either XT in AT (ISA) backplanes. Jumpers are used to set the memory, I/O base addresses and the interrupt source.
Each PCX module has two LEDs on the board for monitoring network operation and bus access to the module. It also has an external DIP switch so that node addresses can be easily reassigned without removing the module. Interrupt lines are jumper selectable.
The PCX series is available in five cabling groups. The PCX-CXS supports coaxial cable in a star configuration. The PCX-CXB accommodates coaxial cable in a bus configuration. Both the PCX-TPS and PCX-TPB support twisted-pair, respectively in a star and bus configuration. The PCX-FOG accommodates duplex glass fiber optic cable with either ST or SMA connectors.
