Using the I/O Points with InSite

™

 NMS Software

InSite software has the ability to read the user analog input (

Analog 1

) and two 

user-configurable and independent I/O signals (

I/O 1 & I/O 2

). Each I/O 

connection can independently configured as input or output. If configured as 
an output, a 

saved

 default output value can be stored in the radio to ensure the 

radio boots to the desired state for this pin. 

The values of 

I/O 1

 &

 I/O 2

 can be read and displayed by an InSite user to 

determine the current state. The values of 

I/O 1

 &

 I/O 2

 at the TransNET’s

 

DATA

 

Interface connector will remain in a constant state until manually 

changed though the InSite 

Configuration

 screen.

Application Example—Digital Input and Output at a Remote

A typical application of the user I/O connections may require one digital input 
and one digital output to be controlled by network diagnostics. In this 
example, 

H3

 could be jumpered to 

H7

 (I/O 1

 

to RJ-11, Pin 1) and 

H4

 jumpered 

to 

H8

 (I/O 2 to RJ-11, Pin 2). Using InSite, 

I/O 1

 could be configured as an 

output and 

I/O 2

 as an input.
