In either configuration, use 6 pair plus ground stranded cable with overall shield
(eg RS 111-8994).
Maximum recommended length in substations - 5m
Absolute maximum length - 10m.
The DCE configuration is used when the X21 link requires to be synchronised to the
network master clock signal that has been received from a co-located SMX3/40, or to
itself as master where network timing is unavailable. The timing signal is output on
pins 6 and 13.
DIP switches provide configuration options, see section 10.
