The Telenetics DSP9612 (Flash Poll) modem is a 9600/4800/0- 1800 bps 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.
Introduction Features The DSP9612 modem is specifically designed for harsh environments found in utility substations and industrial facilities. Though functionally similar to commercial modems, the DSP9612 provides the following unique features that make it well suited for utility and industrial applications. c Packaged in a rugged, compact enclosure for industrial applications.
Applications Applications The DSP9612 modem is designed for point-to-point and multipoint data communications. Figure 1-1 shows a typical multipoint configuration. Figure 1-1. Network of Multipoint Configuration There are a number of factors that can affect the network’s and modem’s operation and performance. These include: c Operating speed c 2-wire or 4-wire configuration c Transmission line characteristics, noise, and line impairments...

Configuring the Modem High-Speed (Fast Poll) Mode Table 2-1 shows the modem switch settings that can be used when the modem is configured for high-speed (Fast Poll) mode. This mode is enabled when switch SW2-1 is set to OFF. Following this table is an explanation of these settings.

Installation SW1-1 through SW1-4 − Transmit Level (high- & low-speed modes) 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 (High-Speed and Low-Speed Modes) SW1 through SW4 Switch Settings SW1-1 SW1-2...

Configuring the Modem SW1-5 − Receiver Dynamic Range (high- & low-speed modes) 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
Installation SW2-1 − Fast Poll/FSK (high- & low-speed modes) SW2-1 ON = Low-Speed Mode (FSK) OFF = High-Speed Mode (Fast Poll) SW2-1 configures the modem for either low-speed (FSK) mode or high-speed (Fast Poll) mode. As a result, the SW2-1 setting you choose determines the switch definitions for the other switches.

Configuring the Modem SW2-8 − Carrier Control (high- & low-speed modes) SW2-8 ON = Constant OFF = Switched SW2-8 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. When constant carrier mode is enabled (SW2-8 set to ON), the modem forces the transmit carrier active and the RTS-CTS delay is minimum (<0.5 ms.).
Installation Low-Speed (FSK) Mode Table 2-3 shows the modem switch settings that can be used when the modem configured for low-speed (FSK) mode. This mode is enabled when switch SW2-1 is set to ON. Following this table is an explanation of these settings.

Configuring the Modem SW2-1 − Fast Poll/FSK (high- & low-speed modes) SW2-1 ON = Low-Speed Mode (FSK) OFF = High-Speed Mode (Fast Poll) SW2-1 configures the modem for either low-speed (FSK) mode or high-speed (Fast Poll) mode. As a result, the SW2-1 setting you choose determines the switch definitions for the other switches.

Installation SW2-5 − Soft Carrier (low-speed mode only) SW2-5 ON = Disabled OFF = Enabled SW2-5 controls the soft carrier and is valid for low-speed mode only. Setting this switch to OFF configures the modem to transmit a 900 Hz soft carrier to the remote modem after RTS is turned off.
Connecting to a Transmission Line In switched-carrier mode (SW2-8 set to OFF), the RTS/CTS delay is 23 ms. SW 2-9 − RX Termination (high- & low-speed modes) SW2-9 ON = Disable Rx Termination OFF = Enable Rx termination SW2-9 selects whether RX termination is enabled for a modem. If you set this switch OFF, the receiver is terminated with 600 Ω.
