Connecting a User Port to an External Unit
To connect one of the RTU RS232 ports defined as a User port to an external unit (which
supports RS232), you may use one of the two adaptors (FLN6457B or FLN6458B) according
to the port definition in the site configuration.
If the FLN6457B adaptor is used, refer to the pin assignment given in Connection to a
Computer or Terminal in this chapter.
If the FLN6458B adaptor is used, refer to the pin assignment given in Connection to a Modem
in this chapter.
Connection to a Radio
For detailed instructions on connecting a radio to the ACE3600 RTU, see the Radio Types and
Installation Kits chapter above.
Connection to IDEN Radio
To connect the RTU (via onboard serial or plug-in port) to an IDEN radio, use an adaptor
which ends with the male 9-pin, D-type connector. The port should be defined as RS-232,
Async, PPP, iDEN, MDLC over IP.

Connection to TETRA Radio
To connect the RTU (via onboard serial or plug-in port) to a TETRA radio, use an RS232-E+
type adaptor which ends with the male 9-pin, D-type connector. The port should be defined as
RS232, Async, PPP, Tetra, MDLC over IP.
