8.4. RF Board Level Pinout
The board-level radios are available in both TTL and RS232 versions. The TTL version uses
reverse polarity from standard RS232 at 0 to 5 Volt levels. All pin descriptions and pin numbering
are the same as the RS232 version. The RS232 version uses standard RS232 polarity and
voltage levels for all of the RS232 signal lines (DTR, Transmit Data, Receive Data, Carrier
Detect, RTS, and Clear to Send) and TTL standard polarity and voltage level for the Interrupt pin.
l Pin 1: B+ Power input.
l Pin 2: Interrupt (INT) – Input – A 0 Volt level on this pin switches the radio into Setup mode.
l Pin 1 on the board-level radio is the pin farthest from the three LEDs and pin 10 is closest to
the LEDs.
