Introduction
This document provides general information for the Trusted TM Communications Interface Adaptor
T8153. The Assembly provides easy access to the communications ports of the Trusted TM
Communications Interface Modules in the Controller Chassis for Peer to Peer communications, DCS
and other links, networked PCs etc., and external connections.
Note: Gateway module Ethernet ports do not work well with a T8153 Communications Interface
Adaptor. It is possible to get most ports working by forcing the arbitration to 100BaseT and full duplex,
however, the T8173 gateway adaptor is recommended instead for use with the Gateway Module and
also includes connections for a keyboard, video and mouse ports.
Features
• Allows easy access for external systems to communicate with a Trusted TM System.
• Easy installation i.e. connects directly to the back of the Trusted TM Communication Interface
• Two 10/100BaseT connections.
• Four RS422/485 connections.
• Two RS232 connections (one ‘full’ RS232).
