INDUSTRIAL MODEM RF115
3. Quick Start
Follow these steps to establish full-duplex communications between a pair of new
Industrial Modems:
1. Following the configuration procedures described in Chapter 4, set one of the
modems to be a point-to-point slave and enter the Call Book numbers of the
master and slave in each other’s call list.
2. Set the baud rate on each modem to match the baud rate of the instrument to
which it is attached. Note that when you are setting the modem’s baud rate
you are setting only the data rate between the modem and the instrument to
which it is attached. The baud rate does not have to be the same for the two
modems.
3. Verify that the RS-232 connector on the cable supplied will fit the RS-232
interface on the instrument to which it is being connected. The cable supplied
will fit a 9-pin male RS-232 connector. Any other format will need an adapter
or a different cable.
4. Screw the included whip antenna into the modem, making sure that it is snug
and properly seated.
5. Connect the modem to the instrument with the RS-232 cable and attach the
power adapter to the modem. Shortly after both modems are plugged in, they
should establish a communications link, and your connection is complete.
