Connecting to a transmission line. See page 25. 4. Connecting to a voltage source. See page 27. 5. Connecting a DTE device. See page 28. Finding a Suitable Location The location you select should provide easy access to the back panel communications interface(s) and front panel power interface.
Configuring the Modem Configuring the Modem You configure the modem using the three sets of DIP switches on the bottom of the modem. , IMPORTANT It is important to follow the three steps described below, in the order shown, to ensure that you configure your modem properly using the modem DIP switches: 1. Use DIP switch 3 (SW3) to configure the modem for your host DTE interface and network topology. Using SW3, you select the modem to operate in high-speed fast-poll or low-speed (FSK) mode. 2.
Installation SW1 DIP Switch Settings SW1 is an 8-position DIP switch. Table 2-1 shows the modem switch settings for DIP switch SW1. A description of the SW1 switch settings follows the table. SW1 settings apply for both high-speed fast-poll and lowspeed (FSK) modes Note: Table 2-1.
Configuring the Modem SW1-1 through SW1-4 − Transmit Level Switches SW1-1 through SW1-4 adjust the modem’s transmit level. Table 2-2 shows the transmit levels you can select using these switches. Table 2-2.
Installation SW1-5 − Receiver Dynamic Range SW1-5 ON = −10 to −43 dBm OFF = +3 to −30 dBm For a low receive signal level, set SW1-5 to ON (−43 dBm ). For short distances or to select a strong receive signal, set SW1-5 to OFF.
Configuring the Modem SW2 DIP Switch Settings SW2 is an 8-position DIP switch. Table 2-3 shows the modem switch settings for DIP switch SW2. A description of the SW2 switch settings follows the table. Table 2-3. Modem Switch Settings for DIP Switch SW2 Switches Switch Settings ON SW2-1: FSK Mode (page 18) OFF (Default) V.
Installation SW2-1 FSK Mode SW2-1 ON = ITU-T V.23 mode OFF = Bell 202 mode The modem has two FSK modes: Bell 202, which supports data rates from 0 to 1800 bps ITU-T V.23, which supports data rates from 0 to 1200 bps SW2-1 configures the modem for either of these FSK modes. Setting SW2-1 to ON selects ITU-T V.23 mode. In this mode, the modem complies with ITU-T (CCITT) recommendation V.
Configuring the Modem wire, half-duplex mode (SW3-7 ON), the modem squelches the receiver after RTS is turned off to prevent far-end echoes from causing data errors. The duration that the modem squelches the receiver is either: 8 milliseconds if the modem is configured for Bell 202 mode (SW2-1 OFF) 150 milliseconds if the modem is configured for ITU-T V.
Installation When the modem is configured for V.23 operation (SW2-1 ON), the RTS-CTS delay is fixed at 33 ms. SW2-6 FSK CD Delay (Bell 202 Mode Only) SW2-6 ON = 23ms OFF = 6ms SW2-6 selects the FSK CD delay and is valid when Bell 202 mode is active (SW2-1 OFF). Setting SW2-6 ON configures the modem to turn on CD 23 milliseconds after it detects a valid carrier signal. Setting this switch to OFF configures the modem to turn on CD 6 milliseconds after it detects a valid carrier signal.
Configuring the Modem SW3 DIP Switch Settings SW3 is a 10-position DIP switch. Table 2-5 shows the modem switch settings for DIP switch SW3. A description of the SW3 switch settings follows the table. Table 2-5.
Installation SW3-1 − Fast Poll Auto Rate/FSK SW3-1 ON = Low-Speed Mode (FSK) OFF = High-Speed Mode (Fast Poll) The modem has two operating modes: FSK mode, which supports data rates from 0 to 1800 bps. Fast-poll mode, which supports data rates of 4800 and 9600 bps. SW3-1, along with the Data Rate Selector (DRS) pin on the modem’s RS-232 connector, configures the modem for either FSK or fast-poll mode. Table 2-6 shows how SW3-1 and the DRS signal configure the modem for these operating modes.
Configuring the Modem SW3-2 − Data Rate (Fast-Poll Mode Only) SW3-2 ON = 4800 bps OFF = 9600 bps SW3-2 configures the modem speed. When the modem is in highspeed fast-poll mode (SW3-1 OFF), setting SW3-2 ON selects 4800 bps, while setting SW3-2 OFF selects 9600 bps. SW3-3 − Async Character (Fast-Poll Mode Only) SW3-3 ON = 11 bits OFF = 10 bits Switch SW3-3 selects whether the async character is 10 or 11 bits long.
Installation SW3-5 − Transmitter Termination SW3-5 ON = Switched by RTS OFF = 600 Ω SW3-5 is used for multi-point configuration networks. When multiple modems are connected on the same metallic circuit: The transmitter termination should be of high impedance if the modem is not transmitting. The transmitter is only terminated with 600 ohms when RTS is asserted. This configuration should be used for all slave modems to prevent the transmitting modem from being unnecessarily burdened.
Configuring the Modem SW3-8 − Carrier Control SW3-8 ON = Constant OFF = Switched SW3-8 selects either constant or switched carrier. Constant carrier allows DTEs, such as asynchronous dumb terminals or RTUs, to operate with modems, without the input RTS signal. When constant carrier mode is enabled (SW3-8 set to ON), the modem forces the transmit carrier active and the RTS-CTS delay is minimum (<0.5 ms.).
Installation Connecting to a Transmission Line The modem has a transmission line interface that can be configured for 2- or 4-wire, analog connection, where one pair is used to transmit data (Tx and Tx) and one pair is used to receive data (Rx and Rx). Table 2-7 shows the pin numbers and corresponding signals for the modem. Figure 2-4 shows the transmission line interface. Note: For communication to occur, the Rx line of one modem must connect to the Tx line of the other modem.
Connecting to a Voltage Source Figure 2-4. Transmission Line Interface Connecting to a Voltage Source The back panel of the modem provides the power interface. For convenience, the modems can be powered from the following power sources: Model DSP9612FP (AC version): 85 to 265 Volts AC, 50 to 60 Hz, single phase or 85 to 400 VDC Model DSP9612-LV (DC version): 10 to 53 Volts DC.
