2.6.3. Data Channels
2.6.3.1. Data Channels on the Encoder/Decoder Module
The normal serial data channels are located at the Encoder and Decoder (labeled
"DATA"). For 4 channel systems, ENC1 contains Data Channel 1 and ENC2 contains
Data Channel 2 (see Fig.2-2). Dip-switches located at the on Encoder/Decoder modules
configure the data channel rates and bit length.
Data Channel -
Encoder/Decoder Module
9-pin D male, RS-232 levels, Asynchronous 1200 baud, 8
bits, 1 start & 1-2 stop bits.
2.6.3.2. Data Channels on the Composite MUX (4-Port) module
The Composite MUX data channel is identified by "Ch. 1" on the module (see Fig.2-4).
Jumpers on the Composite modules configure proper null-modem operation (see
Section 5, Module Configuration, for changing the data channel configuration).
Data Channel - Composite
Mux
9-pin D male, RS-232, Set for:
300 baud, 8 bit, odd parity (default)
-OR- 1200 baud, no parity (optional)
2.6.3.3. Data Channels on the 6-Port MUX module
The 6-Port MUX is normally used in a Starlink STL system to provide an Ethernet IP
data link. The default port is labeled "Port 2".
Data Channel: 6-Port Mux
Ethernet IP (UDP Stream), RJ45-8pin, 544 kbps typ.
