To extend the cable, you may use any extension cable with male and female D-type connectors
(connected pin-to-pin, not crossed).
Note: When a User port is defined as Computer/Terminal with DTR support:
The RTU will not transmit unless it receives DTR=ON from the computer/terminal.
The RTU will not receive unless it receives RTS=ON from the computer/terminal.
Connection to a Modem
To connect one of the RTU RS232 ports to an RS232 modem, use one of the adaptors provided
in kit FLN6458B (option V213AE):
• 9-pin adaptor for Async (#0189968V32)
• RS232-E adaptor (#0189968V33) as in Connection to IDEN Radio below.
• RS232-E+ adaptor (#0189968V34) as in Connection to TETRA Radio below.
The asynchronous adaptor (#0189968V32) ends with the male 9-pin D-type connector. The
port may be defined either as a MDLC protocol port or as a User port.
The signals that appear on the male 9-pin D-type (or 25-pin) connector are according to the
RS232 standard – see the following table. In this case, the RTU serves as DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment).
