Chapter 1 - General Description
The Teltone DS-100 Series Data Switch allows users to communicate with
up to 64 Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) through a single, RS-232 serial
connection. The DS-100 is available in 4 and 8 port versions and has been
designed to be operated independently or as part of a distribution automation
system. The unit has been engineered to withstand the rigors of substation
and other hazardous environments, meeting IEEE C37.901-1989SWC surge
withstand capability and FCC Part 15 Class A requirements for use in
industrial/business applications.
The DS-100's ability to communicate with multiple IEDs from a single originating call, results in real time savings when sev eral IEDs must be polled at
the same time. The unit has been designed to work in conjunction with the
family of Teltone Line Sharing Switches and Cellular Interface Units. This
allows users to use each device in a stand alone mode, or together in a
system configuration.
Depending on the application, some users will find it more cost effective to
install the DS-100 with one modem situated in front of the unit instead of
putting a modem in front of each IED. This also simplifies potential protocol
conflicts where different manuf acturers' modems are used with different IEDs
requiring unique modem register settings. The DS-100 series also supplies
±12 VDC output terminals, providing con v enient po wer access for external
12 VDC pow ered modems and ±12 VDC for fiber isolators.
The DS-100 has a wide power input operating range between 42 to 150 VDC
or 90 to 120 VAC.
Product upgrades will become availab le periodically. The oper ation of the
DS-100 allows for upgrades using an Internal Flash ROM. Review Chapters
2 and 7 for more details.

40-400-00022 Rev. B 5
Chapter 3 - Overview
User Ports
The four or eight DCE User ports will support between 300 - 38,400 bps
asynchronous data transmission rates.
Local Maintenance Port
The Local Maintenance port accepts a terminal or terminal emulator. No
password is required for prog ramming access through this port. Programming access will be a lower priority process than any ongoing data transfer.
Incoming T raffic
Incoming traffic to the DS-100 is answered b y the modem which must be
configured for auto-answer. The DS-100 looks for DCD (carrier detect) from
the modem to know that a call has been received. It then starts monitoring
the data from the modem for a system passw ord (if one is prog r ammed)
followed b y a transfer code. By default, there is no access password.
Remote Programming
Remote programming access can be performed through the Modem input
port. A transf er code sent to this port will access programming mode by
sending “ab0” where “ab” is the default code. Any initial remote access to the
menu via the Modem port will require (in default configuration) a programming password, with “teltone” being the default password. Once access is
gained, an inactivity timer will terminate programming connection after a
programmable (def ault=3) number of min utes of no activity.
Routing Commands
The DS-100 monitors the data flow into the Modem port for data switch
commands. To enter a command, there m ust be a pause in the data stream
into the Modem port, followed by a 3-character command string, follow ed b y
another pause in data. All commands are 3 characters in length, and all 3
characters must be entered within a 2 second period. The minimum length
for the pauses before and after the command string are user programmable
from 0.1 to 2.0 seconds, in 0.1 second increments.
If the string is not a valid command, pauses too short, or the 3 characters are
not entered within a 2 second period, the string will be forwarded to the
currently selected User port. If the string is a valid command, it is not
forwarded to the User port.
The DS-100 recognizes the following commands:
ab0 Connects to maintenance menus for remote configuration
ab1 thru ab8 Connects the Modem port to the selected User port
ab? Reports which User port is currently connected to the
Modem port
The “ab” prefix f or the commands is user prog rammable.
6 40-400-00022 Rev. B
Emergency Interrupt Input
When an AC or DC voltage is applied to this input, located on the rear panel,
the unit will terminate an on-going transfer by dropping DTR to the modem
port. The unit sends a configur ation string to the modem to prepare it for the
next call. The configur ation string is user programmable. The Interrupt
feature is disabled in the f actory default setting. It allows the user a means to
remotely abort a lengthy data transfer when another operation is desired.
Users can apply DC voltage through auxiliary relay on “B” version of
Teltone’s Substation Line Sharing Switch, (SLSS - must be on another
central office line), through a SCADA system or other intelligent de vice.
No Priority
In this mode, no port will be able to interrupt a data transfer on another port.
No Priority is the default factory setting.
Total Priority
In this mode, User P ort 1 is the highest priority port. If another User port is
active, its activity will be terminated to allow User port 1’s request to be
serviced. User port 2 has the second highest port priority. User port 8 has
the lowest priority. When a higher priority port interrupts a data transfer, the
unit will not initiate any action to reestablish the original transfer.
Data Routing
Incoming traffic is initiated when the DS-100 sees carrier detect go active on
the Modem input port. When incoming tr affic arriv es at the modem port,
(modem must be configured for auto-answ er) the unit may expect to receive
an access password fo llowed by a routing command (transf er code). If the
command is successful, the modem port will be logically connected to the
specified User port. The modem can be progr ammed from the Local Maintenance port.
Transfer Data Connection to Another User Port
When there is a pause in data flow into the Modem port, the unit will monitor
the next set of characters to see if they are a v alid data switch command. If
the string is valid and of correct length, the Modem port will be logically
connected to the newly selected User port. If the string is not valid, the unit
will forward the string to the currently selected User port. The required
pause duration is programmable in 0.1 second increments . Factory default is
>1.0 second.
Outgoing Traffic, Data Switch Idle
The unit expects either DTR or RTS to go active as a request for service.
The unit is programmable to select which of these signal(s) will be considered a request for service. The unit will respond by logically connecting the
requesting device to the Modem port.
40-400-00022 Rev. B 7
Outgoing Traffic, Data Switch Active
If there is a request for service and the unit is set to No Priority default, and
the unit is active on another User port, the unit will not respond to the request
until it is idle. If the unit is set for Total Priority, and a higher priority port
requests service, the unit will abort the current transfer, drop DTR to the
Modem port, and wait until the Modem port is ready for a new tr ansf er.
When the unit is ready to support the next call, it will logically connect to the
Modem port.
Disconnect Procedure
Incoming calls are disconnected when DCD goes inactive on the Modem
input port. Outgoing calls are disconnected when DTR or RTS (whiche ver
was used to originate the call) goes inactive. When either the Modem input
port or active User port has their control lines go inactive, the unit will go idle.
Data T ransfer Inactivity Time-out
The Data Transfer Inactivity time-out can be set betw een 1 and 10 min utes in
1 minute intervals. The default time-out is 3 minutes. The user can also
program the unit for no activity time-out.
Loss of Power
The unit will be totally inoperative when pow ered do wn. The only output will
be an alarm contact closure.
Version 2.00 Upgrade
The Version 2.00 upgrade adds the following features:
• expanded modem initialization string from 25 to 50 characters
• up to 64 port expansion using a single transfer code (cascading)
• site Sign On message operation
• case sensitive transf er code operation
• default port operaton
• port rollover operation
• reconnect to last accessed port operation
• port time-out alarm enable/disable
AC Power
Teltone part numbers 250-00204-05 (DS-104) and 250-00204-06 (DS-108)
and later are properly labeled for 90 - 120 VAC power use. Earlier models
are also able to operate with AC power, but are not correctly labeled. Ref er to
Figure 7 for AC connections .

Chapter 4 - Typical Applications
Electric utilities are continually searching for wa ys to lo wer oper ating costs,
improve efficiencies, and pro vide better customer service. Various distribution automation techniques are quickly being introduced and embraced. This
is causing a proliferation of IEDs, such as electronic meters, relays and
digital fault recorders to be installed into electrical substations. Due to
different IED manufacturers using diff erent protocols, communicating with
these devices can be difficult. In addition, if an analog telephone line is used
as the primary communication link, each IED requires its own modem to
convert from an analog signal to a digital one.
Figure 1 Single Stand Alone Configuration
To avoid the expense of using multiple modems , a user can install the DS100 in front of the IEDs:
40-400-00022 Rev. B 9
Figure 2 Cascade Configuration
The user can have up to 64 connections by connecting up to 8 DS-100 units
behind a primary DS-100:
10 40-400-00022 Rev. B
Figure 3 System Configuration with SLSS and DS-100
The DS-100 has been designed to work in conjunction with the Teltone family
of Line Sharing Switches and Cellular Interface Units. Depending on the
application, a combination of these devices can provide an efficient, cost
effectiv e system solution.
If telephone service is needed or desired, users can install the Teltone Substation Line Sharing Switch (SLSS) and modem in front of the DS-100. This
configuration enables users to communicate with multiple IEDs through the
DS-100, saving on multiple modem expense while pro viding cost sa ving
phone service:
40-400-00022 Rev. B 11
Figure 4 System Configuration with CIUS and DS-100
If cellular service is needed or desired, users can install Teltone’s Cellular
Interface Unit for Substations (CIUS) and cellular modem in conjunction with
the DS-100. This allows users to take advantage of low cost, reliable, easily
installed cellular communications as a medium between their host/ polling
location and their IEDs:
Figure 5 System Configuration with CIUS, SLSS and DS-100
If users have a need or desire to use a single cellular circuit for voice and
data to communicate with multiple IEDs, the user can combine Teltone’s
CIUS, SLSS and DS-100. This provides a cost competitive, easily installed
and reliable distribution automation system solution:
12 40-400-00022 Rev. B
Chapter 5 - Installation
1. If rac k mounting, attach the mounting ears to both sides of the DS-100
using the enclosed screws. Unit will fit in either a 19" or 23" rack and can be
flush or center mounted.
2. Position unit into rack, aligning mounting ear holes with rack holes.
Secure unit into place by affixing screws with corresponding washers.
3. To power the modem (not ncluded) from the DS-100, insert the bayonet
end of the modem power cable into the modem. Assuming your modem
operates off 12 VDC , insert the ribbed or marked lead into the “+12V” terminal. (You may w ant to test the polarity of the modem power leads before
connecting.) Insert the other lead into the ground terminal marked, “GND”.
Fiber optic isolators normally used the +12 VDC and -12 VDC connections.
*NOTE* The -12 VDC connection is NOT recommended for powering modem
installations.
4. Connect the modem to the DS-100 b y attaching a DB-25 male to DB-9
female RS- 232 cable, not included, to the DB-9 male Modem port on the
back of the unit.
5. Attach an RJ-11 modular cab le between the modem and the PSTN or
communications device. (i.e. SLSS, CIUS or phone line.)
6. Connect a DB-9 male RS-232 cab le , not included, into one of the User
ports. (Figure 6 depicts connections to User ports 1 and 2.) Connect the
other end of the cable’ s DB-9 f emale connector to y our IED. Connect the
remaining User ports to other IEDs in a similar fashion.
7. Remov e the yellow terminal block cover and apply po w er to the DS-100
by connecting the power cab le from your substation power source (42-150
VDC or 90-120 VAC at 60 Hz) to the unit’s po wer terminals marked “+” and
“-”. When connecting to DC power, make sure you connect the “+” po wer
cable lead to the “+” terminal and the “-” power cable lead to the “-” terminal.
Next, connect the chassis ground marked “GND” as specified by local
practices. Replace terminal block cov er when finished.
8. If the user w ants to utiliz e the Emergency Interrupt feature, connect wire
leads into the Emergency Interrupt terminals. Connect the other wire end to a
switched AC or DC po wer source . (The Teltone SLSS auxiliary relay may be
used for this application.)
9. If the user w ants to utiliz e the Remote Alarm feature, connect wire leads
to terminal connections marked “ALRMS”. The alarm contacts close during
an alarm.
10. Connect a terminal or PC, loaded with a communications softw are
program to the Local Maintenance port located on the front of the unit using
a DB-25F to DB-9M adapter (if required) and a DB-9F to DB-9M RS-232
cable (not included).
11. Open the communication software program. Set the communication port
to match the DS-100 Factory Default settings (unless y ou ha v e changed
them.)
40-400-00022 Rev. B 13

The Factory Default settings are:
* 300 to 9600 (autobaud)
* 8 data bits
* 1 stop bit
* No parity
Once you have set up y our software press <ENTER> several times and the
Main Menu should appear.
12. This should conclude the installation process. If further programming is
required, refer to Chapter 6 , Programming and Def ault Settings chapter.
Note: There are four cable ties located on the back of the unit for securing
cables. Use them to avoid loose connections.
14 40-400-00022 Rev. B
Chapter 6 - Programming and Default Settings
The DS-100 has extensiv e programming capability providing flexibility to
meet most application configurations.
Users can move to the desired menu b y entering the number corresponding
to the menu item and pressing <ENTER>. Once the user reprog rams
systems and User port configurations, they may be saved as Customer
Defined Defaults under menu item “6.”
Programming Rules
• “Select entry” is the normal response after the screen has been updated.
Entering any menu number will bring up that menu.
• Pressing <ENTER> at the “select entry” prompt will redisplay the main
menu.
• Pressing <ENTER> will accept the current value.
• After completing any program change, verify the setting changes.
• Any changes to the unit should be saved as Customer Defined Defaults
under menu item 6.
• Upgrades to the system firmware are completed using menu item 7.
• Any command completed with <ENTER> before a pow er outage or
disconnect, will be saved. Any other partial entry will be lost.
• For no changes to any request, <ENTER> ma y be used to accept the
default value of “N”.
Programming Access
Passwords
The DS-100 has two different pass words. The first password is upon initial
access to the Modem input port, and prevents the DS-100 from any routing
until the password is entered. The default for this is no password (disabled.)
If an access password is enabled, enter the password followed by
<ENTER>.
The second password is after sending the “ab0” command to access remote
programming. The default for this password is “teltone” (password is case
sensitive.)
By using the two password schemes, the DS-100 can be configured for open
access to routing, while still protecting programming access, or protecting
both routing and programming access.
Three invalid password attempts will result in an alarm and access will be
blocked for 1 hour.
40-400-00022 Rev. B 15
Local Programming
The front panel Local Maintenance connector accepts a terminal or terminal
emulator. The terminal should be set for
stop bit
through this port. Press <ENTER> 2 or 3 times in rapid succession to bring
up the Main Menu.
Remote Programming
Remote programming access can be performed through the Modem port.
Any initial access to the unit via the Modem port may require a user access
password, dependent upon whether passw ord security has been enabled.
Once the user has entered the password, if needed, the Modem port of the
unit may be remotely accessed by sending “ab0” where “ab” is the default or
user programmed 2 byte code, then entering the programming pass word, if
enabled. Factory default setting is enabled with the pass word “teltone”.

Modem Configuration
The DS-100 sends a user programmable configuration string to the modem
whenever po w er is applied to the DS-100, whene v er the Local Maintenance
menu is exited, and between calls through the DS-100. If the unit is idle, the
string is also sent every ten minutes to ensure that the modem is properly
configured. If po wer is remo v ed from the modem during maintenance of the
system, it is recommended that the user enter and then exit the Maintenance
Menu from the local port after power is restored to ensure that the modem is
properly configured.
For the DS-100 to handle incoming calls, the modem must be configured for
auto answer .

1. SYSTEM CONFIGURA TION
The SYSTEM P ASSWORD is by default configured with NO pass word. This
40-400-00022 Rev. B 17
feature is used for additional security when needed. When a password is
installed, an incoming call to the Modem port will prompt the caller for the
System Pass word and if entered correctly, the caller will then have access to
the User ports. If three inv alid attempts are made , an alarm will be set and
access to the DS-100 will be blocked for 1 hour.
The SITE NAME & SIGN-ON MESSAGE is by default set to “None”. This
feature allows for a message to be displayed during the initial call in as either
no message, the site name, or a detailed sign-on message that will display
the site name along with all of the transfer codes to access the User Ports.
The PROGRAMMING PASSWORD is by default set to “ teltone”. This
feature allows for controlled access to the prog rammable features of the DS-
100.
The PROGRAMMING INACTIVITY TIME-OUT is by default set to 3 minutes .
This feature sets the maximum idle time f or prog ramming before the DS-100
drops out of the programming mode.
The TRANSFER CODE CONFIGURA TION is a g roup of commands that
allow the configuration of the Transf er Code Prefix (the string sent along with
the port number to access the User Port), Case Sensitivity (accept upper
and lower case entries), Response (enable a response when a valid T ransfer
Code is entered), Guard Time (the time bef ore and after a Transfer Code that
defines it as a Transf er Code), and Broadcast (send the incoming data to all
ports until a response is seen) settings.
The DATA INACTIVITY TIME-OUT is b y default set to “3” minutes. This
feature sets the maximum amount of time that a user is allowed to be connected to a User Port without any data being sent in either direction.
The EMERGENCY INTERRUPT ENABLE is by def ault set to “Disable”.
This feature is used when external control of the DS-100 is used. The
hardware input on the rear panel allows for the ability to terminate an existing
call by dropping DTR to the Modem P ort.
The OUTGOING CALL PRIORITY is by default set to “Disable”. This
feature allows for a higher priority port to interrupt an existing data connection and allow the priority port’s request to be serviced. P ort priority is set
with 1 being the highest priority and 8 being the lowest priority.

The Teltone DS-100 allows the configuration of each port, including the
Modem port and Local Maintenance port. This configuration includes baud
rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control (hardware vs software), service
request (for outgoing calls), cascading operation (f or e xpansion up to 64
ports). The Modem port does not have the service request or cascading
function, but does hav e an initialization string. The Local Maintenance port
has an AutoBA UD function that supports operation from 300 to 9600 BAU D.
Enabling the CASCADING function will change the transfer code to a 4 digit
entry for a User port. For example, to transfer through User port 1 (unit 1) on
the DS-100 and connect to User port 4 (unit 2), the transfer code is ab14.
With this method, a single 8 port DS-100 connected to 8 more DS-100 units
will yield a 64 port configuration, yet use only 1 transfer code to access each
User port.
DEF AULT POR T configuration allo ws for incoming calls to be sent directly to
a Default P ort without having to enter a transf er code. Other ports remain
accessible by entering the proper transf er code.
RECONNECT TO LAST ACCESSED PORT configuration allows a experienced user to call in and select a port for an intermittent customer and have
the next call connected to the last accessed port if the call is placed within
the DATA INACTIVITY TIME-OUT (menu item 25, default 3 minutes).
PORT ROLLOVER TIME-OUT configuration allo ws f or the DS-100 to roll
over to the ne xt port whenev er there is no data sent f or the duration of the
PORT ROLLO VER TIME-OUT. The feature is disabled by default and allows
for access to other User P orts without having to enter a new tr ansf er code .
Each time the rollover occurs, the port name will be sent to the caller .

− The Power Fail alarm is set whenever the power is lost and is cleared
when power is restored.
− The Watchdog alarm is set whenev er the internal watchdog fails.
− The EEPROM Checksum alarm is set whenever the EEPROM fails.
− The FLASH Checksum alarm is set whenever the FLASH ROM fails.
− The Active DataBase Checksum alarm is set whenever the stored
configuration is corrupted.
− The User Default DataBase Checksum alarm is set whenever the stored

− The Port TIME-OUT alarm is set whenever a User Port does not release
DTR or RTS (if REQUEST FOR SERVICE is enabled) after a time-out
occurs.
The Invalid Password alarm is set whenever there are three failed
attempts to enter either the System Passw ord, or the Progr amming
Pass word.
− The User Set Alarm is set by the user using menu item 80 (SET ALARM)
in the Diagnostics section in programming.
Alarms are cleared whenever the cause of the failure goes aw ay, except in
the case of the Invalid Password alarm. The Alarm contacts on the rear
terminal strip will close if either the Power F ailure, Watchdog Failure, Checksum Failure, or Port Time-out Failure alarms are activated.
4. DIAGNOSTICS
This programming section is used to initiate test processes and provide
valuable inf ormation for troubleshooting any prob lems . All tests are normally
run from the Local/Maintenance Port but some may be run remotely via the
Modem Port.
The most valuable test to use is the PORT LOOPB ACK TEST. When an RS-
232 cable is connected from the Modem P ort to a User Port, the DS-100 will
exercise that port to verify proper operation of the User Port (and cable).
The CONTROL LEAD CHECK will test the status of the Control Leads for a
particular port. Control Leads tested include:
DTR Data Terminal Ready
28 40-400-00022 Rev. B
RTS Request to Send
CTS Clear to Send
DSR Data Set Ready
DCD Data Carrier Detect
RI Ring Indication
With no connection all should read low; with the device properly connected
(idle), DTR and RTS are high and the rest low.
The CONNECT T O MODEM PORT will allow direct connection to the Modem
Port for configuration or monitoring of incoming calls.
The CONNECT TO USER PORT will allow direct connection to a User Port
for testing.

Chapter 8 - Front Panel Indicators and Controls
Power/ Status LED
A green POWER LED is located on the left portion of the front panel, to the
right of the Local Maintenance programming port.
LED Modes:
Po wer on/processor in reset On steady - This is an error condition
Idle Approx. 2Hz blink between Full/Half bright-
ness
In Use Approx. 2Hz blink between Full/Off
Alarm LED
A red ALARM LED is located on the front panel, to the immediate right of the
POWER LED. The LED will be on solid red during an alarm condition and
during initial power-up.
An alarm condition can occur when any of the following occur:
• Po wer failure
• Po wer fuse f ailure
• Watchdog failure
• Checksum failure
• Port time-out (a hung device on the User or Modem port)
• Three invalid pass word attempts from the Modem port
The alarm condition will automatically clear when the cause of the failure
goes awa y.
Modem Port Transmit and Receive LEDs
A pair of green LEDs are located on the front panel, immediately to the right
of the ALARM LED to show data activity. They are marked TRANSMIT and
RECEIVE. When the DS-100 is transmitting data to the host/polling location
the TRANSMIT LED will be illuminated. When the DS-100 is receiving data
from the host/polling location, the RECEIVE LED will be illuminated. Both of
these LEDs will be off when the lines are in their Mark state, and on in their
Space state.
User Port Indicator LEDs
There are 4 User Port LEDs on the DS-104 and 8 User Port LEDs on the
DS-108. These green LEDs appear on the front panel, immediately to the
right of the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE LEDs.
LED Modes:
Port idle Off
User Port Call Pending Flash (once per second)
Port in use On steady
Port Time-out Alarm Approx. 2 Hz on/off
