2. Description

ME1791A-F and ME1794A-F, ultra-miniature asynchronous short range modems,

are used for local data distribution, connecting full duplex asynchronous DTEs to

computers.

The modems ensure integrity of data transmission, using unconditioned 4-wire

dedicated lines at data rates up to 19.2 kbps. It operates over distances up to

21 km (13 miles) depending on wire gauge and data rate (see Table 1).

The modems incorporate innovative circuitry design, which enables the units to

operate without connection to the mains supply, by using ultra low power from

the standard RS-232/V.24 data and control signal voltages. The modem operates

fully even if only Transmit Data is connected (i.e. without the DTE sending Request

to Send or Data Terminal Ready signals). Both positive and negative signals are

generated in compliance with RS-232/V.24 standards, regardless of constantly low

or constantly high Transmit Data. Table 2 provides the DCE connector pinout.

5 GND Ground

6 DSR Data Set Ready (output)

7 RTS Request To Send (input)

8 CTS Clear To Send (output)

9 RI (+V)

The low transmit level minimizes cross-talk onto adjacent circuits within the same

cable. Data is transmitted and received at a balanced impedance, ensuring

excellent immunity to circuit noise.

The line side of the modems offers connection to the RS-232 plug ground.

This may be connected to the shield of the STP wiring to provide end-to-end

ground continuity. Table 3 provides the pinout of the RJ-45 line connector.

4 Installation

4. Installation

Installation of the modems is simple and straightforward, just follow these steps:

1. Connect the 4-wire dedicated line to the line connector; transmit pair to

‘XMT’ and receive pair to ‘RCV’.

Observe the following pin polarity between the local and remote units:

 Local XMT+ connected to remote RCV+

 Local XMT- connected to remote RCV-

 Local RCV+ connected to remote XMT+

 Local RCV- connected to remote XMT-.

2. Connect the modems directly to the 9-pin connector of the DTE or the

computer and fasten with the two screws – one on each side of the modem

connector.
