DS62-Network, DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Host Module ABOUT THIS OWNER’S MANUAL This document is applicable to the DS62 Network Module and the DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Module EXCEPT those paragraphs specifically mentioning the DS62-MD4 do not apply to the DS62. This document provides information required for installing and operating your Bay Tech equipment. It should allow the user to connect to, power up, and access an applications menu where peripheral equipment can be controlled.
DS62-Network, DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Host Module Connection Description BayTech's host communication module provides an interface that controls user access to the DS Series data switch and other DS Series connected modules. EIA-232 SERIAL CONNECTION The DS-Series host communications modules have an RJ-45 port which uses an 8-pin crossed modular cable to connect to a local EIA-232 device such as a computer terminal or external modem.
DS62-Network, DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Host Module PREPARING THE INSTALLATION SITE The installation area should be clean and free of extreme temperatures and humidity. Allow sufficient space behind the DS unit for cabling and receptacle connections. Access to installation site should be restricted to authorized personnel. Installation of these units should be limited to ITE and Telco server environments. Power CAUTION: This unit is intended for indoor use only.

DS62-Network, DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Host Module Serial Port Configuration Handshaking, Baud Rate, Word Size, Stop Bits, and Parity are configured through either the serial or Ethernet ports using the menus. RTS and DTR Line Drivers can only be configured through the phone line via a modem. The default settings are 9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, RTS and DTR High.
DS62-Network, DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Host Module via binary, it is very likely that these values could be transmitted as data and the transmission would fail. 2. Hardware Handshaking: This style uses actual hardware lines. Like the TX and Rx lines, the RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR lines work together. When a receiver is ready for data, it will assert the RTS (Request to Send) line. This is then read by the sender at the CTS (Clear to Send) input, indicating it is clear to send the data.
DS62-Network, DS62-MD4 Network/Modem Host Module Stop Bits The Stop Bits are used to signal the end of communication for a single packet. Since the data is clocked across the lines and each device has its own clock, it is possible for the two devices to become slightly out of sync. Therefore, the stop bits not only indicate the end of transmission but also give the computers some room for error in the clock speeds.
