Connections for the Universal & Plastic Housed Global Modem

Note with RS422 & RS485 connections it is the rosponsibility of the system builder to ensure that the

connections are correctly terminated. Normally cables with an impedance > 100 Ohms should be used

and terminating resistors (120R bwtween A-B and Z-Y) may aslo be required.

CONFIGURATION:-

Depending upon the model of the modem you will be able to select one of the communication

configurations listed below:-

VHF :

MPT1328

RTcom-Outback

UHF:

MPT1329

RTcom-Outback

VHF/UHF

RTcom-Max

UHF: MPT1329

RTcom-Global

1200-2400bps

1200-4800bps

2400 fixed

2400-9600bps
