Introduction:

Ctek wants to thank you for selecting this Z4200 Series product. We realize that for many of you

this will be your first exposure to Ctek’s product line. Our goal with this document is exactly as the

title suggests, helping you get started. As a first read we believe that the information found here

will serve as a useful quick start and as a pointer to some of the more in depth documentation

found in the product’s User Manual which is available at www.ctekproducts.com

Connections:

The green connector J1 supports four separate functions, power, relay contact closure detection,

relay driver output, and auxiliary serial port serial data. Contact closure pins 2 and 4 are shared

with the auxiliary serial port. To option remove the circuit board and locate 3-pin headers JP1 &

JP2 behind the green connector. Facing the end of the board containing the green connector JP1

and JP2 should have jumpers center to right to use the discrete I/O (Din, Dout), and JP1 and JP2

should have jumpers center to left to use the auxiliary serial port. Auxiliary serial port parameters

(baud, parity, etc.) are set using the RS232 screen. From the factory the unit ships with the

auxiliary serial port enabled.

The J1 pin out configuration is as follows:

Terminal Block Pin JP1 & JP2 (internal) Center to Right JP1 & JP2 (internal) Center to Left

Pin 1 Din – Discrete Input (See Appendix A)

Pin 2 Din Src – Discrete Input Source RxD of auxiliary serial port

Pin 3 Dout Gnd – Discrete Output Ground Ground of auxiliary serial port

Pin 4 Dout – Discrete Output TxD of auxiliary serial port

Pin 5 Power supply Ground Power supply Ground

Pin 6 Power supply +12VDC Power supply +12VDC

First, it provides a mechanism to activate the router on the wireless networks utilizing a form of Over The Air (OTA) activation. Secondly it may be used as a general interface to send specific commands, known as AT commands, to the router’s radio module.
