The TI213-RS232 is a power line carrier transceiver with an RS232 serial communications cable for connection to any IBM compatible computer.

The TI213-RS232 is switch selectable for a baud rate of 9,600 or 19,200 bps (bits per second). A building automation system or any IBM compatible PC can use the TI213-RS232 to monitor and control X10, ACT or Leviton powerline carrier modules. It can receive and transmit standard X10 and X10 "Extended Code 1" protocols.
Transmitted commands and received data is pre-formatted in ASCII such as A01 ON, B03 DIM, etc. The TI213-RS232 is also DIP switch selectable for the following:
1. Polite or Rude Transmission. Polite (waits until other transmissions stop) or Rude (transmits regardless of signal traffic on line).
2. Single phase or 3 phase.
3. Change A10 software sensitivity to detect a signal embedded in noise.
4. Number of attempts on transmission (four or unlimited).
5. Checksum override to allow for easy software testing.
6. Start Code Filter for added flexibility.

The TI213-RS232, is packaged in a plastic housing with an 6' (1.8m) power cord terminating in a European 2 prong plug for standard European electrical wall outlets. The TI213-RS232 is equipped with a 6' (1.8m) serial communication cable terminating in a DB9 plug for easy connection to any IBM compatible computer.
