10 Appendix A – Radio Using the RS232 Interface

The iRIS may be used to communicate via external radios. For legacy radios requiring an audio interface, a FSK modem such as the DS-IRM intelligent radio modem can be used. For radios fitted with an integral modem, the iRIS connects directly to the radio’s RS232 port. The diagram below shows the typical cable required to achieve either of these two modes of operation. The actual modem/radio connections may vary depending on the type of device used.

In all cases, the DSR line from the modem or radio is used to enable the RS232 port and the RI line sets the data rate to a fixed rate (normally 1200 bps).
