Earlier AWAN Servers • Features Not Supported Current loop is supported by using an external 16-port RS-232 to Current-Loop converter. The RS-232 to 20MA Current Loop Converter (3886-CL) is a 16-port external hardware adapter that converts, on a line-by-line basis, the AWAN 3886 RS-232 interface to current loop. Only RJ45 connectors are supported. Thus, only the AWAN-16 and AWAN-32 models can use the 16-port current loop.
