Digital input devices
Digital input devices are those that have only two states and send a signal to the
MP modem in one of those states. An example of a digital input device might be a
gun rack alarm that sends a signal to the MP modem any time the gun rack is
open. Another example would be a panic button that sends a signal to the MP
modem when it is pushed.
A digital input can be connected to four of the pins on the DB15HD connector:
Pins 3, 4, 11, and 12. (Pins 3 and 11 could alternatively be used for digital
output.)
