Alpha MLS-485D Network Controller for Pagers Features

Description

The Alpha Communications® MLS-485 series Network Controllers allow up to 31 RS-232 serial ports (transmit only) to be connected to a receiver RS-232 port. In addition, MLS-485's eliminate RS-232 distance limitations.

MLS-485's prevent serial ports from attempting to communicate simultaneously. Flow control is accomplished using the RS-232 CTS (Clear To Send) handshaking signal. Data is converted to RS-485 format for transmission.
