The 2703 supported up to 176 half-duplex start-stop or Binary Synchronous communication lines. The maximum speed of one line was 2400 bit/s but the total aggregate line speed was limited. By 1970 the maximum line speed had been raised to 4800 bit/s. The 2703 attached to a single

mode at speeds of up to 40,800 bits per second (bit/s). The 2701 could also have "data acquisition and control adapters" for direct control of external equipment.

The 2702 could accommodate up to 31 communication lines, but at a slower speed than the 2701. The System/360 Configurator indicates that in the 2702 supported start-stop lines only.

Remote Multiplexer allowed up to fourteen slow speed devices to be multiplexed over one high speed line to a 2703.
