2-6 INSTALLATION MDS 05-2415A01, Rev. A
When using an internal modem, other pin functions of the DB-25 INTERFACE connector, such
as PTT, Receive Audio, Transmit Audio and RSSI are still active and should normally be left
open (unterminated). Connecting these pins to a computer terminal that also uses these pins
for auxiliary connections can cause improper operation.
Pin connections for the transceiver’s
INTERFACE connector are summarized in Table 2-1 and
are described in greater detail later in this chapter.
NOTE
When using the TTL interface option, external 1 kΩ (1/8 W)
pull-up resistors are required between J1 Pins 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 and
the logic source in the remote terminal unit (RTU).
