    Network available output 5.1.1 Connector Type The connector on the 9601 is a Samtec EHT series. This connector provides the ability for both a cable connector as well as a stackable board to board connection. For cable connected applications use the Samtec TCSD series.

  • Page 13: Dc Power Interface

    The DC power interface is comprised of the DC power inputs and a control signal as summarized in Table 7. The three +5V Inputs and three 0V supply returns are used to supply DC power to the 9601 and ensure that enough current can be drawn across the connector without the 9601 malfunctioning during transmit due to lack of current supply.

  • Page 14: Power On/Off Control

    Serial Data Interface The Serial data interface is used to both command the 9601 and transfer user data to and from the Transceiver. The 9601 presents a 9-wire data port to the FA (Field Application), where the interface is at RS232 levels.
  • Page 15 DCD is driven ON at all times. Note that the Ring Indicator (RI) pin is used by the 9601 SBD Transceiver to indicate that a Mobile Terminated SBD (MT-SBD) message is queued at the Gateway. The Field Application will need to monitor this pin and use appropriate AT Commands to command the Transceiver to retrieve the MT-SBD message.

  • Page 16: Configuration Settings

    The serial interface is always in one of three modes: command mode, SBD data mode or SBD session mode. When the data port is in command mode, AT commands can be entered to control the 9601 SBD Transceiver. In command mode, flow control has no effect, with the RTS input ignored and the CTS output driven ON (low).

  • Page 17: Network Available Output

    DC Power Output A limited power output can be provided by the 9601 which could be used for driving an LED to provide a visible indication that the transceiver is on, or the output could be used in application logic to determine if the transceiver is on.

    7.0 Instructions for the safe Installation and use of the 9601 The 9601 is intended for integration into a finished product. The integrator of the 9601 is required to connect a power supply, antenna, and user interface to the 9601. To ensure that the 9601 is correctly installed the following general instructions (sub-section 5.1) are provided for the installer.

  • Page 19: Instructions From The Integrator To The User

    As part of these instructions the installer should inform the user that they should not service the 9601. 8.0 Modem Commands and Configuration The 9601 is configured through the use of AT commands. A full listing of the supported AT commands can be found in the 9601 AT Command Reference document.
