Installation
Configuring the Stand-alone Modem
You configure the modem using the three sets of DIP switches located at the bottom of the
modem box S1 and S2, and S3.
Configuration DIP switches S1 and S2 for the stand-alone and rack-mount modems are
identical. Their descriptions in this user’s manual apply to both modem versions.
Configuration jumper JP1 for the rack-mount modem card is used to select receiver
termination impedance.
It is important to follow the steps described below, in the order shown, to ensure that you
configure your modem properly using the modem DIP switches:
1. Use DIP switch 1 (S1) to configure the modem for your host DTE interface and
network topology. Using S1, you select the modem’s operating speed to match
you host computer or RTU devices, and other DTE specific operating
parameters.
2. Use DIP switch 2 (S2) to select the modem’s transmitter output level and receiver
dynamic range specific leased line conditions. The S2 settings apply for both
high-speed fast-poll (QAM) and low-speed (FSK) modes.
3. After you change the DIP switch settings, recycle power to the modem to have
the settings take effect.
NOTE:
The DIP switch settings may not take effect until you recycle power to the
modem.
To access the configuration DIP switches on the stand-alone modem:
1. Ground yourself to discharge any ESD, which might cause damage to the
sensitive devices on the modem board.
2. Due to re-designing of the modem’s main assembly circuit board and the chassis,
you do not need to open the enclosure to get access to the DIP switches . Place
the modem on a flat surface with the bottom up. The locations of the DIP
switches for the stand-alone modem are shown in Figure 2-4 on the next page.
To set the configuration for the modem, use a sharp pin or small screw driver to
slide the switch lever to the ON or OFF positions as shown in Table 2-1.
For DIP switches and jumpers on the rack-mount plug-in module, see Figure 2-5.
***IMPORTANT***
Carefully check the DIP switches for the ON (close) or OFF (open) positions
according to your RTU interface specifications and to match the data rate and
other control inputs to the modem.
S1, S2 and S3 are miniature switches used to configure all the options and features of the
modem. Table 2-1 shows the setting of the switches.
NOTE:
S1-1 to S1-3: Modem Data Rate
S1-4: DTE Async Character 11 bit 10 bit
Switches S1 to S3 are slide switches. To configure the switches, use a small
sharp pin or small screw driver to push the handle to turn ON or to turn OFF
each switch. Never leave any switch in half way ON or OFF. When the switch
is slide to the ON position, it is referring to as CLOSE condition. When the
switch is in the OFF position, it is in the OPEN state.

2400 bps OFF ONOFF
Bell 202T OFF OFF ON
V.23/1200 ON ON ON
For modem speeds of 2400 bps or higher, the modem uses QAM modulation automatically.
When the modem is operating at 1200 bps either in Bell202T or ITU-V.23 mode, the modem
uses FSK modulation.
Note: Leased lines with a relatively flat 300-3400Hz bandwidth is required to support
19,200 bps operation.
S1-4 −−−− Async Character (Fast-Poll Mode Only)
S1-4 ON = 11 bits
S1-4 OFF = 10 bits (default)
Switch S1-4 selects whether the async character is 10 or 11 bits long.
10 bits character: 1 start, 1 stop bit, 7 data + 1 parity(&-E-1), or 8 data with no parity(8-N-1).
11 bits character: 1 start, 1 stop bit, 8 data + 1 parity (8-E-1)
This switch setting is ignored when the modem set at 1200 bps or less (FSK modulation).
S1-5 −−−− Auto RTS
S1-5 ON = Enable Auto RTS
S1-5 OFF = Disable Auto RTS (default)
For data terminals that do not provide hardware Request To Send (RTS), i.e. only provide
TXD, RXD, SG connections, set the modem’s switch S1-5 to ON to enable auto RTS mode.
In this mode, the modem does not require RTS input from the DTE or RTU. If TXD is
detected at the modem, the modem turns on its internal RTS and carrier signals at the
transmitter. After training completes, the TXD is transmitted to the remote modem. The
transmitter turns itself off if no TXD is detected after some length of idle time (approx 2
characters).
S1-6 −−−− Transmit Carrier Control (For SM19202FP-K only)
S1-6 ON = Enable transmit carrier control for radio push-to-talk
16 User’s Manual - SM19202 Fast Poll Modem
Page 17
Installation
S1-6 OFF = Normal Leased Line operation (default)
When DIP switch SW1-6 is ON, the modem will activate its Push-To-Talk feature. The
main theory of operation of this feature is for the modem to turn on the radio as soon as
RTS is asserted by the RTU to the SM19202FP-K modem. The modem will use the
delayed Clear-To-Send (CTS) as the indicator to the RTU to signal the start of sending data
to the host end. When the modem turns on the radio by way of a TTL logic low signal (Keyon), the modem will wait for 30 msec before start sending any analog signal to the radio
and the master modem end. This timing is critical and is required by the radio and the
modem to ensure the training pattern of the modem is fully transmitted without distortion.
For RTUs that only provide the 3-wire RS-232 interface, or using the RS-485 interface, the
modem will not receive the RTS signal for the key-on function. As such, the modem must
be configured to enable the “Auto-RTS” option (SW1-5 to ON). With this option, the
modem will generate its internal RTS when data is detected from the RTU and turn on the
“Push-To-Talk” signal to the radio.
Note: Please refer to switch setting S2-9; forced RTS ON for other applications.
S1-7 −−−− 2-/4-Wire Leased Line Operation
S1-7 ON = 2-Wire, Half-Duplex Mode
S1-7 OFF = 4-Wire, Full-Duplex Mode (default)
Switch S1-7 configures the modem for either 4-wire full-duplex or 2-wire half-duplex leased
line operation.
S1-8 −−−− Transmitter Impedance
S1-8 ON = Transmitter termination is controlled by RTS
S1-8 OFF = Transmitter always terminated with 600 Ω (default)
Switch S1-8 is used for multi-point configuration networks. When multiple modems are
connected on the same metallic circuit:
The transmitter termination should be of high impedance if the modem is not
transmitting in order not to put a load on the transmission line.
The transmitter is only terminated with 600 ohms when RTS is asserted.
This configuration should be used for all slave modems to prevent the transmitting modem
from being unnecessarily burdened. To select this configuration, set switch S1-8 ON for the
slave modems such that the slave modem is in high impedance when not transmitting.
17 User’s Manual - SM19202 Fast Poll Modem
Page 18
Installation
If you use the modem with transmission lines that are transformer-coupled or with an
impedance-isolated network (such as a transformer bridge), set switch S1-8 OFF for proper
operation.
S1-9 −−−− Remote Loopback Enable
S1-9 ON = Loopback enabled
S1-9 OFF = Loopback disabled (default)
During instances of channel noise, the modem may mistake a received preamble as a
request to go into remote digital loopback. Setting switch S1-9 to OFF prevents the modem
from participating in a remote digital loopback with another modem. Switch S1-9 does not
prevent the modem from sending a remote digital loopback request to a remote modem.
S1-10 −−−− Reserved (Test Only)
S1-10 = must be OFF for normal modem opertation
Switch S1-10 must be in the OFF position for normal operation. It is reserved for factory
testing only.
S2-1 through S2-3 −−−− Transmit Level
Switches S2-1 through S2-3 are used to adjust the modem’s transmit level. Table 2-5 shows
the transmit levels you can select using these switches.

S2-4 −−−− Receiver Dynamic Range
S2-4 ON = −10 to −43 dBm
S2-4 OFF = 0 to −30 dBm (default)
For short distances or to select a strong receive signal, set S2-4 to OFF. For a long-distance
cable or low receive signal level, set S2-4 to ON (−43 dBm).
S2-5 and S2-6 −−−− Cable Equalizer (Fast-Poll Mode Only)
S2-5 ON = Enable TX Cable Equalizer
S2-5 OFF = Disable TX Cable Equalizer (default)
S2-6 ON = Enable RX Cable Equalizer
S2-6 OFF = Disable RX Cable Equalizer (default)
If you use the SM19202FP as a limited-distance modem over pilot wire or unloaded cables,
you may need to improve or extend the modem’s polling performance on long transmission
lines by using the modem’s internal fixed Compromise Cable Equalizer when polling on long
metallic circuits when the cable exceeds 4 to 5 miles long. The cable equalizer is active only
when the modem is in QAM fast-poll mode (2400 bps or higher).
S2-7 −−−− Anti-streaming
S2-7 ON = Anti-streaming is active
S2-7 OFF = Anti-stream is inactive (default)
Typically, anti-streaming is used in multi-point applications to prevent a malfunctioning slave
data terminal or RTU from occupying the line indefinitely. When anti-streaming is active, the
modem can transmit data for a maximum of 27 seconds before the transmitter turns off
automatically. The modem then looks for an ON-to-OFF RTS transition before proceeding
with normal operation. Anti-streaming can be selected in either high-speed or low-speed
mode.
S2-8 −−−− RTS-CTS Delay (Bell 202 Mode Only)
S2-8 ON = 33.0 ms delay
S2-8 OFF = 8.0 ms delay (default)
Switches S2-8 determines the duration of the RTS-CTS delay in Bell 202 mode.
For V.23 mode, the RTS-CTS delay is fixed at 33 ms.
19 User’s Manual - SM19202 Fast Poll Modem

Installation
S2- 9−−−− Forced RTS ON (Constant RTS)
S2-9 ON = Force the modem’s internal RTS to on. It also force the modem to turn
on CTS and the transmit carrier.
S2-9 OFF = Internal RTS is controlled by the RTU (default)
Switch 2-9 will force the modem to turn on its internal RTS, CTS and transmit carrier
continuously, allowing the RTU and DTE to operate with the modem without supplying RTS
signal. This is primary used by DTE’s or RTU’s that support only TD, RD and SG signals.
Forced RTS on option is typically used for point-to-point connections between two RTUs or
modems. For multi-point applications, the salve modems should not use this option.
S2- 10−
− Re-Train Request Enabled
−−
When the SM19202FP modems are operating in high-speed polling modes, the modem’s
receivers require a special training pattern from the remote transmit modem to synchronize
the receive timing before data can be received. The SM19202FP will only send out a training
pattern when the transmit modem’s RTS is raised from the OFF to ON state (i.e. Switched
Carrier mode). However, if the modems are configured in Constant Carrier mode, or the
RTS is ON continuously by the DIP switches, no training pattern will be sent from the
transmit modems. When in configurations where constant carrier is received at the
modem’s receiver, there is a possibility that the modem might lose synchronization due to
transmission line interferences such as line hits, line drop-outs, or power outage conditions.
In order to regain synchronization at the receiver, the SM19202FP modem implements a retrain algorithm which allows the receiving modem to send out a re-train request to the
remote modem for re-train and re-gain synchronization. This option is most useful for the
modem to operate at 19200 bps and constant carrier or constant RTS modes.
S2-10 ON = Re-Train Request is Enabled (for 19,200 bps only)
S2-10 OFF = Re-Train Request is Disabled (default)
S3- 1 and S3-2−−−− RS-232 or RS-485 Interface Select
The SM19202FP standalone modem support either RS-232/V24 or RS-485 4-wire or RS485 2-wire operation. To select the interface standards to match you RTU, configure S3-1
and S3-2 as following:
• RS-232/V.24: S3-1 = OFF, S3-2 = OFF
• RS-485, 4-wire: S3-1 = ON, S3-2 = OFF
• RS-485, 2-wire: S3-1 = OFF, S3-2 = ON

S3-5 OFF: The modem’s line receiver is set high input impedance (multi-point)
S3-6- Common Signal Ground and Chassis Ground
S3-6 ON: The modem chassis ground and signal ground are connected
S3-6 OFF: The modem chassis ground and signal ground are not connected.
Configuring the Jumper Blocks
For Stand-alone Units
No internal jumper block is required.
For Rack-Mount Plug-in Modules
Jumper block JP1 is used to set the modem’s receiver termination impedance
• 600 ohms: A shorting jumper is placed over pin 2 & 3 (default)
• High impedance: A shorting jumper is placed over pin 1 & 2
Select high receiver impedance (Hi-Z) if multiple modems are connected in a multipoint configuration but without an impedance matching bridged such as private
metallic circuit environment. In this configuration, only one receiver should be
configured for 600 ohms.

Connecting to a Transmission Line
The modem has a transmission line interface that can be configured for 2- or 4-wire analog
connection, where one pair (Tx-A and Tx-B) is used to transmit data and the other pair (Rx-A
and Rx-B) is used to receive data. The transmit pair and receive pair are non-polarized.
Table 2-4 shows the pin numbers and corresponding signals for the modem. Figure 2-6
shows the transmission line interface.
NOTE:
For communication to occur, the Rx line of one modem must connect to the Tx
line of the other modem. The modem’s Tx/Rx pair are non-polarized.
NOTE:
The modem does not support leased-line operation with DC shielding current.
Leased-line connector pin assignments for the rack-mount module can be
found in the documentation for your Motorola/UDS RM16M.

LEDs
The front panel of the modem provides the LEDs shown in Table 2-5.
Table 2-6. Modem LEDs
LED Color Description
RTS Yellow Request To Send
CTS Yellow Clear To Send
TD Yellow Transmit Data
RD Yellow Receive Data
CD Yellow Carrier Detect
MR Yellow Modem Ready
ALB Red* Analog Loopback
DLB Red* Digital Loopback
* When the modem is in remote loopback, both the ALB and DLB LEDs go ON.
Loopback Control Switch
The front panel of the modem has a push button for initiating the following loopback
diagnostic tests:
Local analog loopback started by pressing the button one time. The ALB LED
should be ON. When a DTE is connected to the RS-232 port of the modem, the
transmit data is loop back to the DTE as receive data. This test will verify the
modem transmitter, receiver, and its RS-232 interface along with the connecting
cable.
Local digital loopback started by pressing the button two times. The DLB LED
should be ON. When a DTE is connected to the RS-232 port of the modem, the
transmit data is loop back to the DTE as receive data. This test will verify the
modem’s RS-232 interface along with the cable attached.
Remote digital loopback set the local modem’s RTS signal to low. Press the
local modem’s diagnostics test button three times. Both the ALB and DLB LEDs
should be ON. Then raise the local modem’s RTS signal to start the test. The ALB
and DLB LEDs of the remote modem should go ON when the modem is
responded to remote digital loopback. This test will verify both modems’
transmitters, receivers, and the leased line

NOTE:
Be sure switch S1-9 is set to the ON position to enable the remote modem to
respond to remote digital loopback requests. This test is only available in fast-
poll mode at 2400 bps or higher.

Troubleshoot
In the event you encounter a problem using your Synxcom modem, refer to the
troubleshooting information in this appendix.
ing
IMPORTANT:
If you encounter a problem with your modem, be sure the switches on the
modem are set to the appropriate positions (see Table 2-1 on page 14). If
a switch is halfway between an on and off setting, the modem will not
operate properly.
Problem Solving
Table A-1 offers troubleshooting solutions for modem problems.
Table A-1 Problem Solving
If… Perform These Procedures…
No LEDs are ON at the front
panel
Modem does not respond to the
attached DTE and the all LEDs
are off.
Modem does not receive data,
and the DCD and RxD LEDs are
off.
The RTS, CTS, and TxD LEDs
do not blink.
Check the power supply source. Be sure the input power to the
modem’s power connector is between 10 to 60VDC .
The MR LED should be on if the modem is powered up properly and
when it is not in any loopback test mode.
Check the connecting RS-232 or RS-485 cable between the DTE and
the modem. The MR/DSR LED (Modem Ready/Data Set Ready) on
the front panel should be ON when the modem is idle.
Check the DIP switches of both modems to make sure that the same
data rate and operating parameters are identical on both modems.
The receive line pair may be disconnected from the modem. Make
sure the transmission line connection to the modem is accurate and
secure.
The receive signal level may be below the CD threshold. Set switch
S1-5 ON to see whether configuring the modem for a −43 dBm
threshold resolves the problem.
If this problem remains unresolved, perform a local ALB loopback
test to determine if the modem’s receiver is functioning correctly.
The attached terminal or DTE may not be sending data to the
modem. Verify that data is being transmitted. If data is being
transmitted, make sure the RS-232 cable is sound and securely
connected to the modem and terminal or DTE.
