RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case
the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

2. Introduction
The Mini Driver MPI asynchronous line driver is
used for local data distribution. It connects full-or
half-duplex asynchronous terminals to computers.
The unit operates over unconditioned 4-wire
telephone line, and ensures data integrity for
distances up to four miles depending on the gauge
and data rate (see the Distance Charts, above).

You can strap the Mini Driver MPI to be either
constantly on, or to be controlled by the Request to
Send signal. Operation with controlled carrier
enables the connection of the Mini Driver MPI in a
multipoint configuration (see Figure 1). You can also
use controlled carrier in applications requiring the
passing of a control signal end-to-end—the RTS one
one Mini Driver MPI is passed to the DCD on the
other unit.
Figure 1. Mini Driver MPI In A Multipoint Application
The Mini Driver MPI features a switch selectable
DTE/DCE option. The unit can operate as a DTE
in order to connect to another DCE, such as a
multiplexer port, without the use of cross cable.
You can operate the Mini Driver MPI without

4-Wire Unshielded
twisted-pair cable
connecting it to the mains supply. Simply use ultra
low power from the standard RS232C/V.24 data and
control signal voltages. The unit fully operates even
if only Transmit Data and Receive Data are
connected—no control signals are needed. Both
positive and negative signals are generated in
compliance with RS232C/V.24 standards, regardless
of constantly high or constantly low Transmit Data.
Low transmit level minimizes cross-talk onto adjacent
circuits within the same cable. Data is transmitted
and received at a balanced impedance, ensuring
excellent immunity to circuit noise.
The Mini Driver MPI is couples to the telephone line
through isolation transformers which, in conjunction
with electronic circuitry, protect against AC or DC
overvoltages. The transformers are rated at over
1,500V RMS, making the line driver suitable for
connection to local circuits provided by most
telephone administrations.

3. Installation
The Mini Driver MPI is easy to install. Follow the
steps below.
1.Separate the two parts of the plastic cover
by firmly pressing the marked places on the
sides, starting at the cable end.
2.Connect the 4-wire telephone line to the
screw terminal block; transmit pair to
"XMT" and receive pair to "RCV". Please
note the correct polarities. If you are using
shielded cables, connect the cable shield to
the "ground" terminal (optional).
3.The following polarity must be observed:
+XMT on the local Mini Driver MPI must
be connected to +RCV on the remote Mini
Driver MPI
-XMT on the local Mini Driver MPI must be
connected to -RCV on the remote Mini
Driver MPI
(Polarity is opposite on the second pair of
wires.)
4.The Mini Driver MPI is factory set for DCE.
To operate the unit as DTE, change the
switch to the DTE position (see Figure 2).
5.Set the CARRIER strap to either ON
(carrier on continuously), or CTRL (carrier
controlled by RTS). See Figure 2
6.To close the unit, press the two halves of
the cover together.
7. Plug the unit directly into the 25-pin
connector of the terminal or computer
port, and fasten with the screws on each
side of the connector.
