        quick question: Is their a difference in the PBXDI-AA (rs232)
        and the PBXDI-AB(V.35) --MODULES--  . The cabling is different
        of course , but are the modules the same? The PSP indicates
        they may be different, The modules have different variants on
        the part number.
    
        A customer has a -AB version and wants to know if all he needs is
        a cable swap to be able to use the card with RS232 cables.

| 497.1 | Its a little more than a cable change | OZROCK::HARTWIG | Arthur Hartwig, TaN Engineering-Australia | Wed Feb 12 1997 00:04 | 14 | 
|     Based on your description (I don't have the 'official' description
    immediately to hand) the modules are the same EXCEPT the jumpers
    are set for 2 V.35 ports OR 2 RS-232 ports. So, starting with a 
    two port V.35 module, to convert to a two port RS-232 module you can
    
    1) change cable to the two port RS-232 cable;
    
    2) change the jumpers on the board to the RS-232 setting.
    
    There are five jumpers per port to change. The jumper change procedure 
    is described in the installation manual that should have come with the
    card - the same manula that describes how to set the CSR addresses.
