MODEM COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE T1 AND T2E/T2N 

    

 March  1998

USING T-PDS WINDOWS FOR DIAL–UP COMMUNICATIONS WITH TOSHIBA
T1 AND T2E/T2N PROGRAMMING PORT

Toshiba PLC users can expand their remote diagnostics and remote programming capabilities
by using Hayes

 compatible modem communications over the Public Switched Telephone

Network with standard analog phone lines and standard modems.  Please note that “analog” line
means a normal dial-in dial–out phone line similar to the ones that you have at home (i.e.,  about
48Vdc open circuit voltage with about 110Vac ring voltage).  This does 

not

 include the digital

phone lines in 

most offices

 that use modern digital PBX systems.   Plugging a modem directly into

one of these digital office lines may destroy the modem.

We used US Robotics 56K Sportster

 external modems for our tests, but just about any external

Hayes compatible modem will work.  Here is the list of equipment that you need for modem
communications with the PLC’s programming ports:

Accessories For T2E/T2N Modem Communications (with programming port):

PC Side

  a standard “straight-through” 9-25 pin RS-232 serial cable

 

  a  

 9600 baud external modem.

PLC Side

:

  a standard “straight-through” 9-25 pin RS-232 serial cable

  a  

9600 baud external modem.

Страница 4: ... Initialize parameter T PDS will not successfully dial out or disconnect without this The parameter shown here is the S25 register which controls the time that the PC modem can have a DTR loss before hanging up Since T PDS toggles the DTR line on the COM port during modem connection and hang up this parameter must be set to accommodate your modem The setting of S25 50 worked on the US Robotics mod...

Страница 5: ...to dial out If T PDS hangs up as soon as the modems establish carrier or will not hang up when you go OFFLINE then adjust your DTR timeout parameter S25 on USR modem If you are using a T1 remember to attach the null modem module to the modem s RS 232 cable Also in the T1 version 1 2 as well as the Super T1 40 register SW038 is the Computer Link Response Delay setting which can be used with the def...

Страница 6: ... A NO PARITY SETTING If you have one of these PLCs and would like to use modem communications you must use a modem that supports odd parity This will apply if you have a T1 with firmware version earlier than 1 2 or any of the T2 series that is not a T2E T2N Most T3 s will also require an odd parity modem One source for these modems is TELENETICS ph 714 455 4000 fax 714 455 4010 Telenetics model nu...
