5.2 RTU to Modem Connection
5.2.1 RTU-to-Modem Asynchronous Connection
For a 9-pin or 25-pin connections, use the FLN6458 cable kit to connect one of the
IRRInet-XL RTU RS-232 ports asynchronously to a modem (The RTU serves as DTE).
The kit includes a cable with RJ45 modular jacks on both ends and a RJ45 to 9-pin and
25-pin male D-Type adaptor (See Figure 5-2).
The possible RTU configurations are detailed in Table 5-1:

1. Before transmitting, the RTU sends a RTS = on signal to the modem, and will
not transmit unless it receives a feedback CTS=on signal from the modem.
2. The RTU will not receive unless it receives a DCD = on signal from the
modem.
3. When using a modem in auto-answer mode (connected to a computer port)
for remote service, the RTU does not support the RTS/CTS protocol, as the port
is designed to operate with a local computer as well as with a modem. Refer to
the jumper settings detailed in the Utilities section of the Programming Tool Box
Operating Instructions manual.
