2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Model 80 and 80C are semi-automatic RS-232 interface
adapters designed to solve problems normally associated with the use
of the RS-232 interface standard. They contain logic circuitry which
automatically reconciles RS-232 data and handshake lines, dramatical­ly reducing the time spent in designing and troubleshooting a connec­tion between a computer and a peripheral.

The Model 80 series is well suited for use in micro, mini or main­frame computer environments, wherever the RS-232 interface is used
and there is a need for a temporary or permanent connection. The
device is ideal for computer salesmen, technicians, businessmen, or
anyone else who needs quick and reliable connections for a variety of
products. In addition, the versatility and low cost make the Model 80 &
80C a vital product for computer end users. This Intelligent RS232
Interface can replace a costly custom-made cable and eliminate hours
of troubleshooting of a malfunctioning RS-232 channel. An added
bonus is a truly flexible connection, always ready to immediately
accommodate a new peripheral.
