6 CONNECTION INTERFACES
6.1 RS-232 interface
RS-232 standard defines the method of serial data transfer between a computer and its
peripherals. The definition includes both the interface type and signal levels. Most computers and
peripherals contain one or more RS-232 type serial ports. The RS-232 standard uses transmission
lines, in which each single signal line level is referenced, to a common ground level. RS-232 has
been designed to be use in serial transfer of data, in situations where the distance between
communicating equipment is less than 15 m. The otherwise useful RS-232 standard is applied in
a multitude of slightly differing ways, (e.g. different pin configurations) and for this reason different
computers and peripherals are not necessarily directly compatible with each other.
6.2 Connectors
The device adopts a high standard waterproof ODU 8-pin data connector. Antenna connector
type is 50 Ohm TNC female.
1. Data connector (8 pin ODU)
DTE is an abbreviation for Data Terminal Equipment
I/O column below denotes the direction of the signal
“IN” is from DTE to the radio modem, “OUT” is from the radio modem to DTE
Clear To Send. This signal indicates
that the radio modem's serial
interface is ready to receive data
from DTE.
