2CONNECTIONS & INDICATIONS
2.1RS232 Connector
The RS232 connections are made via a 9 way D female with the following connections:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pin No. | Function |
|
|
|
| |
1 | CD Output |
|
|
|
| |
| Set (+ve) when a RF signal above a certain level is present at the |
| ||||
| RF connector. The threshold is programmable over 10 levels that |
| ||||
| are defined in section 5.13 |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
2 | RXD | RS232 data level data output |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
3 | TXD | RS232 level data input |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4 | DTR | RS232 level input |
|
|
|
|
| When set (+ve) by the DTE (host processor) the modem and |
| ||||
| transceiver is turned on. The max/min levels are: |
| ||||
|
| DTR Vin Min. | (off state) | = |
| |
|
| DTR Vin Max. | (off state) | = | +2.5V |
|
|
| DTR Vin Min | (on state) | = | +5V |
|
|
| DTR Vin Max | (on state) | = | +15V |
|
|
| DTR Iin Max(on state) = | 4mA |

5 | Signal Ground |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
6 | DSR | RS232 level output |
|
|
| |
| Set (+ve) after power is applied to the modem or when the DTE |
| ||||
| (host processor) sets DTR +ve. The output is active when the |
| ||||
| modem is ready to receive data. The time taken for the output to |
| ||||
| become active is <50ms from when DSR or power is applied to |
| ||||
| the modem. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7 | RTS | RS232 level input |
|
|
|
|
| The RTS input must be set (+ve) for both data and configuration. |
| ||||
| Data is ignored when RTS is clear |
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
|
|
| |
8 | CTS | RS232 level output |
|
|
| |
| Set (+ve) if the transmit RS232 data into the modem can be |
| ||||
| accepted and the RTS input is set, it is cleared |
| ||||
| Clearing of this signal indicates that the input transmit buffer is |
| ||||
| nearly full .The RS232 data must be stopped within 10 bytes of |
| ||||
| this signal being cleared. After this point the data is ignored. The |
| ||||
| CTS signal is set again if there is room for more than 10 bytes. |
