3.7 L138: EIA-422, DC-37 Without Control Signals
The L138 ELIM is electrically compatible with the EIA-422A specifications. It includes a female
DC-37 connector, but not the control signals available with the EIA-449 interface. Table 9 lists the
supported clo
ck and data signals.

3.8 L139: T88
The L139 ELIM is electrically compatible with Mil-Std 188-114C; it supports only the clock and
data. It includes five TwinAx connectors. Table 10 lists the supported signals.

3.9 Operating Modes and Transmit/Receive Timing
The 2370 operates in a variety of modes that support different sources of the timing signals; you can
set these on the Functional Configuration screen. For details on the Functional Configuration screen
and configuring the parameters for various interfaces, see Section 4.7.
The TD Ti
ming signal is the clock that sends data to the fiber interface. It can be either the SCT or
SCTE signals. Use SCT Inverted to allow for data delays in relation to the clock and prevent bit
errors. Use SCTE Sampled if the clock is gapped.
The RD Timing signal is the clock that shifts data to the electrical interface. It can be either the SCT
or SCR signals.
