    The Raymar-Telenetics MD9612FP (Flash Poll) modem is a 9600/4800/0- 1800 bps rack-mount modem designed for 4-wire, full-duplex or 2-wire, half-duplex operation over a voice-band leased line. The modem is designed utilizing the latest digital-signal processing (DSP) technology to achieve high performance.
  • Page 6: Features

    Features Though functionally similar to commercial modems, the MD9612FP provides the following unique features that make it well suited for utility and industrial applications. Requires only one rack slot. Operates over voice-band conditioned or unconditioned leased line and pilot wires. Operates without human intervention, making it ideal for unmanned locations.
  • Page 7 There are a number of factors that can affect the network’s and modem’s operation and performance. These include: Operating speed 2-wire or 4-wire configuration Transmission line characteristics, noise, and line impairments Network configuration (point-to-point or multipoint) Number of nodes on the network MD9612FP USER’S GUIDE Page 3 0049-1237-XXX...

  • Page 11: Installation Summary

    Installation Summary The modem installation involves the following steps: Configuring the modem. See below. Connecting to a transmission line. See page 19. Connecting an RS-232 device. See page 20. Configuring the Modem You configure the modem using the three sets of DIP switches on the bottom of the modem.
  • Page 12: Sw1 Dip Switch Settings

    Model: MD9612FP SW1 DIP Switch Settings SW1 is an 8-position DIP switch. Table 2-1 shows the modem switch settings for DIP switch SW1. A description of the SW1 switch settings follows the table. Note SW1 settings apply for both high- speed fast-poll and low-speed (FSK) modes Table 2-1.
  • Page 13 SW1-1 through SW1-4 − Transmit Level Switches SW1-1 through SW1-4 adjust the modem’s transmit level. Table 2-2 shows the transmit levels you can select using these switches. Table 2-2. Transmit Levels SW1 through SW4 Switch Settings SW1-1 SW1-2 SW1-3 SW1-4 Transmit Level 0 dBm −1 dBm...
  • Page 14 − SW1-5 Receiver Dynamic Range 10 to −43 dBm − SW1-5 ON = OFF = +3 to −30 dBm For a low receive signal level, set SW1-5 to ON (−43 dBm ). For short distances or to select a strong receive signal, set SW1-5 to OFF. −...
  • Page 15: Sw2 Dip Switch Settings

    SW2 DIP Switch Settings SW2 is an 8-position DIP switch. Table 2-3 shows the modem switch settings for DIP switch SW2. A description of the SW2 switch settings follows the table. Table 2-3. Modem Switch Settings for DIP Switch SW2 Switches Switch Settings OFF (Default)
  • Page 16 ⎯ SW2-1 FSK Mode SW2-1 ON = ITU-T V.23 mode OFF = Bell 202 mode The modem has two FSK modes: Bell 202, which supports data rates from 0 to 1800 bps ITU-T V.23, which supports data rates from 0 to 1200 bps SW2-1 configures the modem for either of these FSK modes.
  • Page 17 ⎯ SW2-3 FSK Soft Carrier (Bell 202 FSK Mode Only) SW2-3 ON = None OFF = 8ms SW2-3 controls the soft carrier and is valid for Bell 202 FSK mode only (SW2-1 set to OFF). Setting this switch to OFF configures the modem to transmit a 900 Hz soft carrier to the remote modem for 8 milliseconds after RTS is turned off.
  • Page 18: Sw3 Dip Switch Settings

    ⎯ SW2-7 Remote Loopback SW2-7 ON = Loopback enabled OFF = Loopback disabled During instances of channel noise, the modem may mistake a received preamble as a request to go into remote digital loopback. Setting SW2-7 to OFF prevents the modem from participating in a remote digital loopback with another modem. SW2-7 does not prevent the modem from sending a remote digital loopback request to a remote modem.
  • Page 19 − SW3-1 Fast Poll Auto Rate/FSK SW3-1 ON = Low-Speed Mode (FSK) OFF = High-Speed Mode (Fast Poll) The modem has two operating modes: FSK mode, which supports data rates from 0 to 1800 bps. Fast-poll mode, which supports data rates of 4800 and 9600 bps. SW3-1, along with the Data Rate Selector (DRS) pin on the modem’s RS- 232 connector, configures the modem for either FSK or fast-poll mode.
  • Page 20 − SW3-3 Async Character (Fast-Poll Mode Only) SW3-3 ON = 11 bits OFF = 10 bits Switch SW3-3 selects whether the async character is 10 or 11 bits long. When the modem is in high-speed fast-poll mode (SW3-1 OFF), setting SW3-3 ON selects an 11-bit async character, while setting SW3-3 OFF selects a 10-bit async character.
  • Page 21 − SW3-7 2-/4-Wire Operation SW3-7 ON = 2-Wire, Half-Duplex Mode OFF = 4-Wire, Full-Duplex Mode SW3-7 configures the modem for 4-wire full-duplex or 2-wire half-duplex operation. − SW3-8 Carrier Control SW3-8 ON = Constant OFF = Switched SW3-8 selects either constant or switched carrier. Constant carrier allows DTEs, such as asynchronous dumb terminals or RTUs, to operate with modems, without the input RTS signal.
  • Page 22: Installing The Modem

    Installing the Modem After you set the modem’s configuration switches, you can now install it in a slot within an MDR Rack from Raymar-Telenetics. The modem is installed or replaced from the front of the modem cage or modem rack, without disturbing the cable connections on the back. The modem can be installed and removed without having to remove power from the modem cage or modem rack.
  • Page 23: Connecting To A Transmission Line

    Figure 2-4. Modems Installed in the Rack Connecting to a Transmission Line Modular Jack Connectors The rear panel of the modem rack has an 4-pin RJ-11 jack for each slot. After you install the modem into a slot, connect the slot’s corresponding RJ-11 jack to a leased line.
  • Page 24: Connecting An Rs-232 Device

    Leased lines have four contacts: a transmit (Tx) pair and a receive (Rx) pair. For communication to occur: The Rx line of the modem cage or modem rack RJ-11 jack must connect to the Tx line of the other modem. The Tx line of the modem cage or modem rack RJ-11 jack must connect to the Rx line of the other modem.
