6. XPERT VOICE MODEM SETUP
6.1 XPert Voice Modem Connections And Jumpers
The XPert Voice Modem can connect to any of the serial ports of the XPert/XLite; however,
Sutron recommends using COM3. COM2 is typically used for SATLINK and COM1 is typically
used for a direct laptop connection. From the factory, the XPert and XLite will be configured to
5V from pin 9 of COM 3 and the XPert Voice Modem will be configured to be powered
through the DB-9 @ +5V. This arrangement will make it possible to use one DB-9 RS-232
modem cable to both power the modem and to communicate.
The other communication connection required is the RJ-11 cable. The XPert Voice Modem has
two identical RJ-11 receptacles. Connect the RJ-11 cable from the FWT to either RJ-11
receptacle on the XPert Voice Modem.
A complete description of the XPert Voice Modem jumpers and setup are provided in the XPert
Voice Modem Operation Manual which can be downloaded from the Sutron website at:

6.2 FWT Voice Configuration with the XPert
After the FWT has the 10 digit number programmed, the FWT will be ready for voice outgoing
queries to the XPert for logger sensor readings. The XPert may also place a call to announce
alarm indications when so programmed. But if any problems occur you can return the FWT to
voice mode by using the connected analog phone and enter: # * 7 #
into the FWT
