6.8.10 Data Communication Settings
References in this section to paging terminals are strictly for full-text paging in data mode. This adjustment has no
effect on voice mode paging.
The data communication setting is determined by the device(s) that the RFC-1 will connect to in data mode. This
adjustment sets the data format for incoming and outgoing connections. The RFC-1 has two data communication
settings, one for standard data connections and another for paging terminals. The same adjustment controls both.
The data format for all data connections that are not paging terminals is 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit (8,N,1).
The TAP protocol that the RFC-1 uses for data communication with paging terminals specifies a connection at 300
baud, 7 data bits, even parity and 1 stop bit (7,E,1). This format is available for compliance with the specification but
most paging systems will operate at 2400 baud, 8,N,1.
There are four standard data protocol options and four pager data protocol options in the table below. Each of the
options repeats so that all 16 combinations are available. If the RFC-1 will not be used to connect to a paging
terminal then the Pager Protocol setting can be disregarded. In this case, there are only four options to choose from
so the choice is limited to values 0 through 3.
In the table below, find the pair of columns that matches both the required data protocol and pager protocol. Program
the value from column V1 at memory address 1005 to set the baud rate and data protocols accordingly.

The parallel printer options for the RFC-1 found in the RAK-1 and the PA-1 or PA-2 convert serial data from the RFC-
1 to parallel data suitable for a parallel printer. The serial data input on these devices operates at 2400 baud 8,N,1.
If any of these options are used then the data protocol should be at a compatible setting. The factory setting works
well with these devices.
The modem adapter options MA-1 and MA-2 have a maximum speed of 2400 baud. The factory setting works well
with these devices. Faster settings are meant for direct serial connections using the RS-232 serial data adapter.
There are no high-speed data rates available. The RFC-1 does not generate a data stream fast enough to require a
high-speed link. Furthermore, the RFC-1 does not perform data compression or error correction.
6.8.11 Manual Communication Mode Change
For testing purposes, the RFC-1 can shift between voice and data modes with commands from the local phone or
terminal keyboard. These commands require no special programming. Issue the command 84 from normal
operating mode. The RFC-1 will respond with the prompt, “enter one digit command”.
• Enter 0 to switch to voice mode immediately
• Enter 1 to switch to data mode immediately
• Enter ❊ to abort the command
This command has other options for backing up system data. See the next section for details.
