Remote Touch Tracker
Overview
VM96 supports communication with a remotely
located Touch Tracker using RS-232
communications. A remote Touch Tracker should
be used when the Touch Tracker will be located
more than 1000m (3300 feet) from the host. Short
haul modems allow the distance to be extended
and support communications over voice-grade
leased or switched lines.
When installing a remote Touch Tracker, keep the
following requirements in mind:
•
The short haul modems must support 1200,
2400, 4800 or 9600 baud. Use the instructions
included with the modems for installation and
configuration. These are the only baud rates
supported by the Touch Trackers.
•
The Touch Trackers must be configured to the
same baud settings as the short haul modems.
•
A local Touch Tracker must be dedicated while
the remote unit is in use. The two Touch
Trackers connect through the RS-232 ports on
their respective EIMs.
•
The RS-232 cable cannot exceed 15m (50 ft).
Use low capacitance, 100% shielded EIA
RS-232 cabling.
•
Both Touch Trackers must be the same type
(Enhanced Touch Trackers) and have the
same firmware version.
