The SDS-122 can support both DTE and DCE devices without the need for a null modem cable, and can emulate an SC932 (9-pin to RS232-DCE) interface. One port of the SDS-122 can also be configured to emulate an optically isolated SC32A interface in either DCE or DTE mode.
Normal Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to +50°C For extended temperature range requirements please contact Campbell Scientific. 2.3 Port Configuration/Connections The SDS-122 has one datalogger port, one switched datalogger port, a 25-way switched RS232 port and a control port.

NOTE When the datalogger is in communication mode, pin 5 (ME – Modem Enable) is held high. This line is used by the SDS-122 to detect communications and prevent switching to the other port.

CR10/10X datalogger and the SDS-122, plus a power supply or other equipment. Use one SC12 cable to connect the SDS-122’s ‘datalogger’ port to a datalogger port, and a second to connect port ‘B’ to a compatible modem. A computer/short haul modem can be connected to port ‘A’...
It is envisaged that most applications will be with a telephone modem connected to Port B and a personal computer connected directly to Port A. The SDS-122, as supplied, has its jumpers set to this default configuration – please see Figure 5.
3-way screw terminal will output 0V for switch on port A, or 5V for switch on port B when the SDS-122 is in AUTO mode only. When the jumper is not fitted, or the unit is in MANUAL mode, then the line becomes an input.

SDS-122 Serial Data Switch PL50 Not fitted When jumper PL50 is fitted, not less than 4.3V is supplied to pins 20 and 4 of port A in DTE mode and to pins 5 and 6 of port A in DCE mode. RAD-SRM modems in interactive communications would need the PL50 jumper to be fitted.
