I/O device installation and configuration The I/O port on the MP modem allows for remote monitoring
of gauges, sensors, and alarms. You can use this feature to
display readings on instruments or gauges and to remotely
monitor panic buttons or alarms.
This section describes how to connect and configure these I/O
devices to work with the MP modem.
Connecting these devices requires that you make a customized
I/O cable. The cable must have, at one end, whatever connector
is required by the I/O device, and at the other end, the High
Density DB15 connector. The cable wires must pin to the
appropriate pin numbers on the I/O connector. The pinouts are
described in the next section.
The maximum length of the I/O cable is 15 feet.
