SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 2. Introduction The Short Haul Modem (SHM-FSK) is a private-line modem that allows half- and full-duplex RS-232 data communications at 9600 bps over a single dedicated wire pair and across sliding contacts. The SHM-FSK operates using pure Frequency Shift Key (FSK) at high carrier frequencies (100KHz, 106.5KHz to 150KHz, 156.5KHz).
SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 2.3 Operating Mode The SHM-FSKs can be operated in either point-to-point or multipoint polling mode. For multi-drop data communications, the SHM-FSK can be operated with one Master and typically up to eight Remote units. The transmitter in each Remote unit is controlled by the intelligent device it is connected to.

SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 3. Installation The SHM-FSK units are shipped ready for either full-duplex or half-duplex multi-drop operation. The jumpers have been factory-set in full-duplex mode. The Master and Remote units are both factory-configured as DCEs (Data Communications Equipment) with the jumpers on headers P1 and P2 in the B-C position.

SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 4. Operation Point-to-point, full- or half-duplex operation is usually conducted with the both the Master and Remote SHM-FSK carriers on all the time. This is achieved by placing the P4 jumper in the B-C position and either not connecting the RTS line (DB25 pin 4) to the SHM-FSKs or making sure that the RTS line supplied by the devices connected to the SHM-FSK is either floating or logic high.
SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 5. Jumper Settings There are several configuration options that can be selected by jumpers as described below. The jumper pins are internal and are identified by lettering on the circuit board. They are accessed by removing the four retaining screws on the top cover of the enclosure and removing the cover.
SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 5.3 Receiver Gain The SHM-FSK incorporates a receiver amplifier on the circuit board. This amplifier has low, normal, and high gain settings configured by a “T” shaped pin block near the center of the circuit board with pins marked “G1/H,” “G2,”...
SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 6. LED Indications There are four LEDs on the front panel of the SHM-FSK. From left to right they are: Marking Function Carrier Detect Data flowing out of the SHM’s RS-232 port Data flowing into the SHM’s RS-232 port Power connected The first diagnostic LED is Carrier Detect.
SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 7. General Operating Notes 7.1 Tuned Circuits The SHM-FSK uses tuned circuits to achieve its high performance. These circuits have been carefully adjusted at the factory to operate over several miles of transmission line. In order not to degrade performance, it is important not to disturb these adjustments.
SHORT HAUL MODEM (SHM-FSK) 8. RS-485 Interface Optional RS-485 modules are available for connection to multiple remote devices. The following modules are available: • RS-485 Module 2-Wire, part number MD3317 • RS-485 Module, 4-Wire, part number MD3318 All operating functions and instructions are the same as for the RS-232 full duplex version, except that the digital interface through the DB25 connector uses pin 12 as the -DO/RI connection and pin 13 as the +DO/RI connection.
