The multi-interface connector is a male 15-pin miniature D-Sub type (DB-15 connector) that 

includes five interfaces—DC power input, power on/off control, RS232 data interface, network 

availability output, and supply power indicator output. Individual pin assignments are 

summarized in 

Table 1

ONFIGURATION

The 9602-NAL supports a standard RS232 serial interface to a host system DTE incorporating 

hardware handshaking and flow control. The RS232 interface comprises eight signals and a 

ground, as shown in 

Table 1

. The RS232 interface allows a connected DTE to utilize the 9602-

NAL’s functionality through AT commands. Note that the ring indicator is used by the 9602-NAL 

to indicate that a Mobile-Terminated SBD (MT-SBD) message is queued at the gateway. The
