Multi-Tech Systems BL-Series manual Controls on PC Board, Introduction and Description

Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

(24.0) 24,000 bps. (2834 models only). This LED is lit when the modem is connected at 24,000 bps. Note: if the modem falls back to 21.6K bps while in V.34 mode, both the 24.0 and 19.2 LEDs light.

(19.2) 19,200 bps. (2834 and 1932 models only) This LED is lit when the modem is connected at 19,200 bps.

(14.4) 14,400 bps. This LED is lit when the modem is connected at 14,400 bps. Note: if the modem falls back to 12,000 bps while in V.32bis mode, both the 14.4 and 96 LEDs light.

(96)9600 bps. This LED is lit when the modem is connected at 9600 bps.

(24)2400 bps. This LED is lit when the modem is connected at 2400 bps.

(12)1200 bps. (1432 models only) This LED is lit when the modem is connected at 1200 bps.

(OH) Off Hook. This LED is lit when the phone line is "off hook". This occurs when the modem is dialing, on-line, or answering a call. This LED also flashes when the modem is pulse dialing in Command mode.

(TR) Terminal Ready. When the TR LED is lit, the modem is permitted to answer an incoming call. When it goes off, a connected modem will disconnect. The state of the TR LED matches that of the DTR circuit on Pin 20 of the RS-232C/V.24 interface.

(EC) Error Correction. This LED is lit when the modem is set for V.42 error correction, and flashes on and off when data compression is activated.

(FX) FAX. This LED is lit when the modem is connected in FAX mode.

(ERR) ERROR. When this LED is lit, either the leased line is down and the modem is in dial backup mode, or else the self-test has failed.

1.8Controls on PC Board

The MultiModem is designed on a single printed circuit (PC) board. This board contains one 16- position DIP-Switch (numbered 1-16). The DIP-Switches are accessible through a cut-out on the side of the modem. There is also a knob which is used to adjust the speaker volume. This knob is accessible through the modem's rear panel. The sixteen DIP-Switches control various modem options or set default values for Command Mode operation. There is a difference in how several of the switches operate depending on whether you are in synchronous or asynchronous mode. Refer to the switch label on the bottom of the modem for an exact list of the switch functions in asynchronous and synchronous operation. Chapter 9 of this manual also provides detailed instructions on configuring all of the modem's PC board options.
