DHT32

The DHT32 is an 8-line asynchronous multiplexer for the MicroVAX 2000, 
application compatible with the DHQ11. It provides data-only transmission at 
speeds up to 38.4 Kb/s, and allows eight additional terminals or peripheral 
devices to connect to the MicroVAX 2000 system. With the three non-modem lines 
and one modem line available on the MicroVAX 2000, a total of 12 asynchronous 
lines can be connected to the MicroVAX 2000 system. (A ``network'' solution, 
including DECserver 200 via 802.3/Ethernet, is appropriate if more asynchronous 
lines are required.)

The DHT32 supports the EIA-423-A standard. Terminals requiring EIA-232 
connections can use an adapter. Cables that connect directly to terminals or 
printers are not provided as part of this option.

Note: The DST32 and the DHT32 (8-line asynchronous communications option) are 
mutually exclusive, and only one can be installed in a system. If more than 
four asynchronous lines are required, customers can add terminals using Digital 
terminal servers. For synchronous communication to an IBM host, an alternate 
method is to use a DECnet SNA Gateway.

Features

o 8-line, asynchronous, terminal-expansion option gives MicroVAX 2000 a 
total capacity of 12 asynchronous lines. 

o Performance approximates the MicroVAX II systems with DHQ11 
asynchronous controller.

Software Support

VMS and ULTRIX operating systems.
