Xecom's XE2476 is a low cost, 2400 bit per
second plug-in upgrade to the 1200 bps
CH1776. The XE2476 features the same
pin configuration, lead spacing and case size
as the CH1776. It also includes its own
user transferable FCC Part 68 registration.
Industry standard "AT" commands provide
modem control and configuration. The
XE2476 was specifically designed to provide
users of the CH1776 a quick, easy and low
cost upgrade to 2400 bits per second. Most
OEM's currently using the CH1776 can use
the XE2476 to upgrade their systems from
1200 bps to 2400 bps without alterring the
existing design.

1\HSOHigh Speed indicator, output, active LO, TTL/CMOS. Low when
operating at 2400bps rate, high otherwise.
2\CMD-Command Enable is not supported on the XE2476. This pin is open
internally.
3\AAD-The Automatic Answer Disable pin is not supported in the XE2476.
Register S0 controls automatic answer operation.
4\DCDOThe operation of Data Carrier Detect is controlled by the &C command.
DCD may be configured to remain active, DCD low, or may go low to
indicate receipt of valid carrier.
5\DTRIData Terminal Ready is an active low input The function of this pin is
set by the &D command and the value in register S21. Normally, the
modem ignores DTR.

PIN NAMEI/ODESCRIPTION
6D/VOThe Data/Voice output can be used to drive a relay to connect an
auxiliary telephone handset. Data/Voice is high when the modem is offhook.
7OHOOff-hook is an active high output which indicates that the XE2476 is
connected to the telephone line.
8RXDOReceived Data provides the serial data output from the modem. A logic
"high" represents a "mark" and a logic "low" represents a "space".
9TXDITransmit data provides the serial data input from the host. A logic
"high" represents a "mark" and a low represents a"space", TTL.
10Test-The Test pin should be left unconnected at all times.
11SPKOAudio output to the speaker. Function is determined by L & M
commands . This output cannot directly drive a low impedence
speaker. It can drive a 50k ohm load.
12VOOThe Modem Line Interface permits placement of non-modem signals on
the telephone line through the modem's telephone interface. VO must
be tied to VI for normal modem operation and open to place non-
modem signals on the line through VI.
13VIIVoice Interface provides a path for non-modem signals to be placed on
the telephone line through the modem's telephone interface. VI must
be tied to VO for modem operation. Non-modem signals are placed on
VO to be placed on the telephone line.
14TIP—Tip connection to the phone line(RJ11 pin3) from the internal DAA.
15RING—Ring connection to the phone line(RJ11 pin4) from the internal DAA.
Caution: Observe design rules for Tip & Ring trace layout
16Vcc—+5 Volt power for the modem.
17GND—Ground reference for the modem.
18RIORing Indicator provides an active high output whenever a ring signal
appears on the telephone line.

AT Commands
The XE2476 uses "AT" commands for configuration and control. This section describes use
of the AT command format and lists the AT commands, Registers and Result codes used.
Modes of Operation
The "AT" commands have two operational modes; Command Mode and Data Mode.
Data Mode: The XE2476 enters data mode after it connects with a remote modem and
issues an appropriate "CONNECT" result code. In the Data Mode the modem sends all data
presented on Transmit Data (TXD) to the remote modem and puts data from the remote
modem onto Received Data (RXD). When the modem exits data mode, it issues a "NO
CARRIER" result code.
Command Mode: The XE2476 enters command mode on power-up, reset, a lost
connection, or receipt of the escape code. In command mode the modem accepts
commands from the host on transmit data. Appropriate result codes are returned on
received data.
Command Line Format
Command lines issued to the modem follow a strict format. Each command begins with the
prefix AT. The command line is stored in the command buffer and executed upon receipt of
a carriage return. Until executed, the command line can be editied with the backspace key.
Command Prefix - Each command, except the A/ command, begins with the AT prefix. The
"A" and "T" may be either both upper case or both lower case but cannot be of different
cases. The prefix identifies the speed and parity of the commands sent to the modem by the
host. Speed is determined by measuring the width of the incoming bits. Parity is determined
by comparing the parity bit of the "A" and the "T."
Command Line - Commands may be strung together in a single command line of up to 40
characters. Commands are executed in the sequence they appear. Spaces may be inserted
into the command line but do not fill space in the command buffer. A carriage return
terminates the command line and causes the commands to be executed. Register S3 allows
the user to select a character other than a carriage return to terminate the command line.
Command Buffer - No more than 40 characters, including the AT prefix, may be loaded into
the command buffer. If the command buffer overflows, the modem issues an "ERROR"
result code and commands are not executed.

Command Line Editing - The backspace can be used to edit a command line before it is
executed. The backspace key, (Control and H simultaneously on some systems), erases
the previous character in the command line. Register S5 allows the user to select a
character other than a backspace to edit the command line.
Re-Execute Last Command - The A/ command causes the modem to reexecute the last
command line. This is the only command which does not require the "AT" prefix.
Ommitted Parameters - Most commands include a parameter which determines how the
functions will be set. When the command parameter is omitted from the command string, it
is assumed to be a 0.
Escape Characters - A 3 character escape sequence maybe entered while in data mode to
switch the modem into command mode while on line. The escape character, set by Register
S2, must be entered 3 times in succession within a 1 second guard time to execute the
escape. The default escape sequence is "+++."
Result Codes - The modem issues a result code after each action. Result codes may be
provided as full words, numeric codes or may be disabled all together. Each result code
ends with a carriage return when numeric resul codes are chosen. When full word result

FCC Instructions
This product complies with part 68 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. With each device shipped, there
is a label which contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this product. You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.
The mounting of this device in the final assembly must be made in such a manner as to preserve the
high voltage protection between the TIP/RING Connection and the rest of the system. Typically, this
may be accomplished by maintaining a minimum spacing .100 mils between the TIP/RING Traces to
the RJ-11C Jack and low voltage portion of the system. No additional circuitry may be attached
between TIP/RING and the telephone line connection, unless specifically allowed in the rules.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to a telephone line and still
have all of these devices ring when the number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the
RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to the line, as determined by the REN, you should contact the local telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for you calling area.
If your system causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue service
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notification is not practical, you will
be notified as soon as possible.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that
could affect proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you
an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
If you experience trouble with this device, please contact XECOM at (408) 945-6640 for information on
obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask you to disconnect this device from the
network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the device is not malfunctioning.
The device may not be used on coin service lines provided by the telephone company (this does not
apply to private coin telephone applications which use standard telephone lines). Connection to party
lines is subject to state tariffs.
