MAP27 serial interface

MAP27 is a Mobile Access Protocol for MPT1327/1343 com- munication equipment. It permits data exchange between MPT radio equipment and external equipment such as a data terminal which may be a laptop computer.

By connecting the OPC-822 OPTIONAL INTERFACE CABLE to the external connector of the transceiver (J9), you can use the serial interface*. (See right.)

*Available baud rate: 1200/2400/4800/9600

Using the appropriate PC software, you can control dialling, hook off (answer), hook on (clear down), status and short data from the computer.

The interface supports the following functions.

Independent Call, Group Call

Emergency Call (call with “9”)

Clear down

Send/receive status messages

•Send/receive SDM (Short Data Message): up to 100 ASCII characters

NOTE: Follow the instruction manuals of MAP27 equip- ment for operation.
