The modem is connected to the CPU debug port and uses a special serial cable with pin connections outlined
below:
BC-200 Debug Port
DB9(male) Labelled CONN2 Modem Connector
DB9 (male) Modem Connector
DB25 (male)
Pin 2 RX Pin 2 Pin 3
Pin 3 TX Pin 3 Pin 2
Pin 5 GRND Pin 5 Pin 7
Pin 7 RTS Pin 4 Pin 20
Pin 7 linked to 8 Pin 4 linked to 5
Notes:

All other pins should be left disconnected.

The cable is not bi-directional. When making or connecting the cable, make sure that each end is marked
and connected correctly to either CPU or Modem.

This cable can not be used to change the AT settings of the modem. A standard modem cable (modem to
PC) should be used for setting the modem options.

BC-200 can be interfaced to serial printers, pagers and nurse call systems using the printer port on the CPU
(CONN1). A global option on the FIP will enable/disable printing. Any standard terminal program or the BC-200
PCI history upload tool can be used to monitor the output of this port. An example of this text output is included in
the next section for reference.

Notes:

Pin 8 (CTS) on the CPU side has to be high (+5v) for BC-200 to print. If the printer/pager does not
support Hardware handshaking (RTS signal), link pin 7 and 8 (on the CPU side) to allow printing
without handshaking.

A global option on the FIP will enable/disable printer output.
