AirLink MP595 / MP595W Modem User Guide

Note: No more than 36 VDC should be applied to any I/O pins.

Before using the digital input/output lines, you must configure them as inputs or outputs.

Connector pinouts

The MP modem’s I/O port is a female DB15HD connector with eight active I/O pins:

Two (2) digital I/O pins.

Two (2) digital input pins.

Four (4) analog input pins.

There are also six reserved pins and one ground pin.

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.
