Connecting an external modem for use with the Remote
Diagnostics Utility
Using the Remote Diagnostics Utility requires that you connect
an external modem to a CPU equipped with a 3-RS232 option
card.
Some applications may require that the modem be permanently
mounted. The following is a suggested method for mounting a
modem connected to the CPU. First you will need to obtain the
following parts
• MFCA accessory enclosure
• SIGA-MP1 mounting plate
• 2 cable ties long enough to go around the modem and
through the slots on the SIGA-MP1
To mount the modem:
1. Mount the MFCA enclosure back box at an acceptable
location within reach of the panel. Refer to Figure 5-12.
2. Secure the modem to the SIGA-MP1 with the 2 cable ties.
3. Screw the SIGA-MP1 to the MFCA enclosure back box.
4. Connect all modem wiring. Refer to the technical
documentation that came with the modem for wiring
connections.
RS-232 wiring must maintain a 1/4-in minimum separation
between nonpower-limited wiring.
5. Screw the MFCA cover to the back box.
6. Attach the modem RS-232 wires to the CPU serial port
terminals. The serial port must be configured for Remote
Diagnostics in the project database. See below.
