WIT910 

4. MODEM INTERFACE

Electrical connection to the WIT910 is made through a 16-pin male header on the modem 
module.  The signals are 3.3-volt signals and form an RS-232 style asynchronous serial 
interface.  The table below provides the connector pinout. 

Pin Signal Type Description 

GND 

Signal and chassis ground 

TXD 

Input 

Transmit data.  Input for serial data to be transmitted.  In Control 
Mode also used to transmit modem commands to the modem. 

RXD 

Output 

Receive data.  Output for received serial data.  In Control Mode, 
also carries receive modem status from the modem. 

4  

Input 

Configuration selector.  Used to switch between Control and Data 
Modes.  Normally, CFG will be set for Data Mode.  An internal 10K 
pull-up enables Data Mode if this signal is left unconnected.  
Control Mode is also accessible by transmitting an escape 
sequence immediately after wake up or power up. 

(0v) 

1 = Control Mode 

(3.3v)  0 = Data Mode 

5  

Input 

Request to send.  Gates the flow of receive data from the radio to 
the user on or off.  In normal operation this signal should be 
asserted.  When negated, the WIT2450 buffers receive data until 
RTS is asserted. 

(0v) 

1 = Receive data (RxD) enabled 

(3.3v)  0 = Receive data (RxD) disabled. 

DTR 

Input 

Sleeps/wakes radio transceiver.  In sleep mode all radio functions 
are disabled.  At wake up, any user programmed configuration 
settings are refreshed from non-volatile memory, clearing any 
temporary settings that may have been set. 

(3.3v)  1 = Sleep Radio 
(0v) 

0 = Wake Radio 

 

Output 

Data carrier detect.  For remotes, indicates the remote has 
successfully acquired the hopping pattern of the base station. 

(0v) 

1 = Carrier detected (synchronized) 

(3.3v)  0 = No carrier detected (not synchronized) 

 

Output 

Clear to send.  Used to control transmit flow from the user to the 
radio. 

(0v) 

1 = Transmit buffer not full, continue transmitting 

(3.3v)  0 = Transmit buffer full, stop transmitting 

 9 

RSSI 

Output 

Received Signal Strength Indicator (analog signal) 

10  Input 

Resets 

the 

radio. 

11-15 

Reserved for future use. Do not connect. 

16 

VCC 

Positive supply.  Min 3.3 v, 5.0 v nominal, 10.0 v max. 

CFG 

RTS 

DCD 

CTS 

Reset
