2.6 Data Interface Connections
Connect the transceiver’s DATA INTERFACE connector to an external
DTE data terminal that supports the EIA-232 (formally RS-232) format.
The transceiver supports autobaud asynchronous data rates of up to
19200 bps. The data rate at the
DATA INTERFACE connector might differ
from the data rate used over the air.
Table 6 lists each pin on the
DATA INTERFACE connector and describes
its function.
Do not use a 25 wire (fully pinned) cable for connection to the
DATA
INTERFACE
connector. Use only the required pins for the application.
Damage can result if improper connections are made. Typical applica-
tions require the use of only Pins 1 through 8 for EIA-232 signaling.

PINS

Pin
Number
Input/
Output Pin Description
1--Protective Ground. Connects to ground (negative supply
potential) on the radio’s PC board and chassis.
2INTXD—Transmitted Data. Accepts TX data from the
connected device.
3 OUT RXD—Received Data. Outputs received data to the
connected device.
4INRTS—Request-to-Send Input. Keys the transmitter when
RTS is at logic high.
5 OUT CTS—Clear-to-Send Output. Goes “high” after the
programmed CTS delay time has elapsed (DCE) or keys
an attached radio when RF data arrives (CTS KEY).
6 OUT DSR—Data Set Ready. Provides a +6 Vdc DSR signal
through a 2.5 kΩ resistor.
7--Signal Ground. Connects to ground (negative supply
potential) at radio’s PC board.
8 OUT DCD—Data Carrier Detect. Goes “high” when the modem
detects a data carrier from the master station.
9INTransmit Audio Input. Connects to the audio output of an
external (AFSK) modem. The input impedance is 600 Ω.
Use Pin 7 for the modem’s return lead.
10 OUT RUS—Receiver Unsquelched Sensor. Not used in most
installations, but is available as a convenience. Provides
+8 Vdc through a 1 kΩ resistor whenever the receiver
squelch is open, and drops to less than 1 Vdc when the
squelch is closed.
11 OUT Receive Audio Output. Connects to the audio input of an
external (AFSK) modem. The output impedance is 600 Ω,
and the level is factory set to suit most installations. Use
Pin 7 for the modem’s return lead.
