Introduction
The Data-Linc Group CCS9000 is a micro controller based line of industrial multi-port, multi-path remote modems. It is
available in the following specific models differing in designated by the part number suffix:
Leased or Private Line Tone [CCS9000/LL]
Dial-Up ASCII [CCS9000/DU]
Wireless Radio [CCS9000/RAD]
The CCS9000 systems permit monitoring, programming and troubleshooting of remote data tracking and controller
devices from one or more central locations. Each of the above models has a unique factory firmware address clearly
labeled on the outside of its case. This address allows access to each remote in a system using the Connect software
package purchased with the system. The CCS9000 can be configured for point to point or multi-point applications.
Gateways built into each model allow the user to interface two or more systems providing hassle free integration of unlike
communication paths.
The CCS9000 is designed to be connected to equipment with an RS232C port. It is also expected to be connected like a
PC computer for program setup or data collection purposes. For this reason, the ports of the CCS9000 are configured as
DTE, rather than DCE as would be normal for a modem. This allows for a straight through cable for most applications.
These ports are not configured to support hardware handshake lines.
General Information
The CCS9000 Comprehensive Communication System is designed to automatically locate and connect to remote
intelligent devices from one or more master locations using the CONNECT software package. The communication path
can be any combination of private wire, telco circuits, fiber optic or radio links. This is accomplished through the 6 pin
mini-din connector gateway port used to access an auxiliary master. The remote modems have four DB9 connectors that
are individually selectable serial data ports. Each port can have a unique baud rate setting from 1200 to 19.2 Kbaud, up
to 115.2 Kbaud on the radio version. Each port can also be associated with an application that interfaces with the
intelligent device connected to it. When a connection has been completed successfully the application will launch
automatically. The ports are configured for RS232 asynchronous DTE operation. LED indicators on the front panel of
each remote provide visual operational and diagnostic information for power, data in and data out, tone detection
(CCS9000/ LL model), carrier detect and selection of
