The Hidex II V.34bis Industrial Grade Modem is the most versatile model for Dial up or leased analog
telephone line interconnect. The Hidex HX II 33T offers speeds up to 33.6K over the analog
switched telephone network. They are temperature tested, rugged modems designed for Industrial
applications. Directly connected to RTU’s, traffic controllers, variable message signs or any number
of other applications, they communicate at 300 bps to 33.6 kbps over analog telephone lines. All HX
models have High voltage surge protection on the telephone lines. The power converter delivers
5VDC from 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz with World Wide safety approvals and a locking connector to
prevent vibration disconnects. A wide voltage range of DC power models are optional.

Power Supply
5 volt DC power to the modem is supplied through a 2-pin locking connector. Included with each modem is a
switching power supply that will accept 90 to 240 VAC or DC. If you are going to power the modem from 5VDC
remove the connector and attach to another pair of wires to connect to 5 VDC. CAUTION NOTE THE
POLARITY ON THE CONNECTOR. The wire with the white dashes along the wire edge is the negative side.
An alternate power connection is available via pin 10 and pin 1 on DB25 connector. Simply connect the minus
(ground) wire to pin 1 and the plus +5VDC to pin 10.
Data Interface
Data is interfaced via a DB25 female connector.

Hardware Setup:
Setup Procedure:
1. Use the RS-232 cable to connect the DB25 connector (J1) on the modem to a PC serial port
(Typically COM1).

2. Connect the RJ11 connector to a phone line.
3. Connect external power to the power jack via wall adapter or +5VDC.
Hyper Terminal setup:
The modem can be tested as a standard serial data modem by connecting it to a
personal computer or other data terminal equipment (DTE). Any standard terminal program such as
HyperTerminal or ProComm running on a PC will communicate with the modem.
Procedure to setup HyperTerminal:
Check if HyperTerminal is installed in your PC. If not, see HELP on Windows Operating System for
HyperTerminal installation.
1. Start -> Program -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal
When the HyperTerminal is opened for the first time, the application will ask for a title for stori ng all
parameters you want to key in. After a title is given, there will be a prompt for the COM port to be used.
Choose the corresponding port (COM1 is recommended). Then the port setting will be asked. Configure
the terminal emulation program to 19200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and hardware (CTS)
handshaking.
2. When the terminal program is properly configured and running, type “AT<cr>” inside the terminal
window and the modem should return “OK”, indicating the modem is working in the command mode and
communicating with the terminal. If the “OK” response is not received, try resetting the modem by
pressing the manual reset switch (S1) then again type “AT<cr>”. If it is still not working, ensure that the
right COM port is selected and make sure the correct port setting is entered.
3. If there is no line-feed after the “OK” response, click File->Properties. In the properties panel, choose
“Settings”. In this panel, choose ASCII setup. In the ASCII panel, click the append line feeds to incoming
lines. Click OK. You are now talking to one modem with the PC.
4. Use a similar procedure to setup the other modem with a different COM port.
5. Once the second modem is set up, the user can choose either one of the modems as the ANSWER
modem.
6. If the modem is chosen as the ANSWER modem, type “ATI6<cr>”. The modem should respond
with “2493”, “2457”, “2434”, “2415”, or “2404”, indicating the terminal is communicating with a
Hidex modem.
7. Type “ATS0=2<cr>”. It means answer the phone after the second ring.
8. To take the modem off-hook, type “ATH1<cr>”. The modem should go to the off-hook state, draw loop
current, and respond with an “OK”.
9. Next type “ATH<cr>” or “ATH0<cr>” and the modem should hang-up (go on-hook) and stop drawing
loop current.
10. To make a modem connection, type “ATDT (called modem phone number)<cr>”. Once the connection is
established, a “CONNECT” message will appear indicating the two modems are in the data mode and
communicating. Typing on one terminal should appear on the other terminal.

11. To return to the command mode without interrupting the connection between the two modems, type
“+++”. Approximately two seconds later, “OK” will appear. The modem is now in command mode and
will accept “AT” commands.
12. To return to the data mode, type “ATO<cr>”. The modem will resume the data connection and no longer
accept AT commands.
13. Type “ATH<cr>” (or “ATH0<cr>”) to terminate the data connection.
AT Commands
AT refers to the command prefix (attention sequence) that precedes each command to the modem. With the
exception of A/ all commands must be preceded by AT and end with a carriage return <return>. Some useful AT
commands commonly used are:
AT The attention command prefix, a set/reset command.
ATA Answer
ATDT101 Dial the number (101)
ATH0 Forces the modem on-hook. Hangs up the modem’s connection to the telephone line.
ATH1 Forces the modem off-hook.
ATI Information -asks the modem for its product ID code.
ATO Goes online.
ATS0=1 Set number of rings (1) before answering
ATX0 Blind dial – no dial tone necessary.
AT*Y1D2 Send continuous DTMF digit (2).
A/ Repeat last command
The A/ command instructs the modem to repeat the last command line. A command line
termination character is not required for the execution of this command (that is, the command is
executed as soon as the slash is typed).
+++ Return to command state (escape sequence)
The escape sequence is used to force the modem back to the local command state from the on-line
