Port specifications

See “I/O port characteristics” on page 76 for the technical specifications of the I/O ports, including input voltages.

Digital input devices

Digital input devices are those that have only two states and send a signal to the MP modem in one of those states. An example of a digital input device might be a gun rack alarm that sends a signal to the MP modem any time the gun rack is open. Another example would be a panic button that sends a signal to the MP modem when it is pushed.
