The DN11 Automatic Calling Unit Interface was a UNIBUS device which connected to, and allowed control of, a Bell 801 Automatic Calling Unit. The ACU could dial a telephone call on an attached telephone line; once the call had connected, a modem attached to the line, in parallel with the ACU, could establish a data link between the local modem and a remote modem. (A serial interface is required to connect the UNIBUS to the modem; that can be either asynchronous or synchronous.)
Registers
Each DN11 has a single control and status register. All the DN11s in a single backplane share an interrupt.
Implementation
A DNll requires a custom quad system unit backplane and support boards (the ensemble is denominated a 'DNl1-AA), which can hold up to 4 independent DN11 plug-in units (DN11-DA). The DNll-AA contains:
- 70-08513 Wired System Unit (DEC part number)
- G8000 Filter Network (+15V Supply)
- M002 Logic/Source Module
- M117 4-Input NAND Gate FLIP CHIP
- M7820 Interrupt Control
- M105 Address Selector
Later versions included instead the later revision M7821 Interrupt Control. Each DN11-DA contains:
- M7226 Control Module (dual-width)
- BCO1R Cable Card Assembly
