of 32, 48, 64, 72, 112,
128, and 144 kbps.

MicroRACK
compatible.

I

f you have two sync hosts in your

computer room that need to talk
to each other, there’s no need for
a pair of expensive modems. One
Synchronous Modem Eliminator
does the work of two V.35 or X.21
modems.

The Modem Eliminators are
just as flexible as the modems
they replace. They support all the
necessary data, clocking, and
control signals, so you don’t have
to worry about compatibility.

Connect V.35 or X.21 equipment

without expensive modems.

Key Features

SYNCHRONOUS MODEM ELIMINATORS

The two hosts can be as much
as 300 feet apart. If they don’t
have exactly the same
communication requirements,
that’s no problem. You can set
RTS/CTS delay, carrier control,
and clocking independently for
each port.

The plug-in model is easy to
install. You configure it once with
DIP switches, and then you just
plug it in. That’s really all there is
to it.

You don’t even need a power
supply for the plug-in model. It
takes its power from the interface.

The rack card version is
completely hot-swappable—you
don’t have to power down the
whole rack to install one card.

Finally, our Modem Eliminators
are worry-free. With a mean time
between failures of more than 12
years, our Modem Eliminators
may well outlive the equipment
they connect.

Recognize any of these
situations?

• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s tech support.

• The so-called “tech” can’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.

• You don’t have a purchase
order number and the tech
refuses to help you.

• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s tech
support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data
Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the technical

support they need is extremely
important when choosing a
vendor. But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall purchase
price for a basic service and
support contract, the technical
support and service they receive
falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t

worth what they paid.

At Black Box, we guarantee
the best value and the best
support. You can even consult our
Technical Support Experts before
you buy if you need help selecting
just the right component for your
application.

Don’t waste time and
money—call Black Box today.
