The LH-DH/11 Local/Distant Host Controller was a DMA UNIBUS 1822 interface produced by ACC to allow a UNIBUS machine to connect to anything that provided a BBN-1822 bit-serial interface; most commonly as IMP interfaces to ARPANET IMPs, but also to Packet Radio Network interfaces.
It consisted of a 10-1/2" rack mounting box holding a pair of wire-wrapped boards (one for packet input, and one for output), holding a number of SSI TTL integrated circuits; there was also an internal power supply. Level converters allowed use as either a Local Host or Distant Host 1822 interface; BC11A cables connected it to the rest of the system.
