Introduction
ongratulations for purchasing the finest industrial-grade fast-
poll modem available.
The Telenetics DSP9612 (Flash Poll) modem is a 9600/4800/0-
1800 bps modem designed for 4-wire, full-duplex or 2-wire, half-
duplex operation over a voice-band leased line or private line. The
modem is designed utilizing the latest digital-signal processing (DSP)
technology to achieve high performance. The modem employs
Telenetics’ proprietary modulation and encoding scheme to achieve
fast modem training time. The modem is also backward compatible
with Bell 202 and ITU-T V.23 modems.
The DSP9612 modem is ideally suited for multi-point communication
systems that require fast response time, short training time, and low
throughput delay. The DSP9612 is the most technologically advanced
modem on the market.
This User’s Guide describes both the DSP9612FP (AC-powered)
modem and the DSP9612-LV (DC-powered) modem. This manual is
intended to let you get your modem “up and running” as quickly as
possible. It contains all the information you need to configure and
install your modem. It also contains troubleshooting information in the
unlikely event you encounter a problem with your modem.

Installation Summary
The modem installation involves the following steps:
1. Finding a suitable location for the modem. See the section below.
2. Configuring the modem. See page 13.
3. Connecting to a transmission line. See page 25.
4. Connecting to a voltage source. See page 27.
5. Connecting a DTE device. See page 28.
Finding a Suitable Location
The location you select should provide easy access to the back panel
communications interface(s) and front panel power interface. It should
also let you view all the LEDs on the front panel.

Configuring the Modem

Configuring the Modem
You configure the modem using the three sets of DIP switches on the
bottom of the modem.
,
IMPORTANT
It is important to follow the three steps described
below, in the order shown, to ensure that you configure
your modem properly using the modem DIP switches:
1. Use DIP switch 3 (SW3) to configure the modem
for your host DTE interface and network topology.
Using SW3, you select the modem to operate in
high-speed fast-poll or low-speed (FSK) mode.
2. If you set SW3 for FSK mode in step 1, use DIP
switch 2 (SW2) to configure the modem for either
Bell 202T or ITU-T V.23 compatibility.
Otherwise, you can use the modem in fallback
mode.
3. Use DIP switch 1 (SW1) to select the modem’s
transmitter output level and receiver dynamic
range. The SW1 settings apply for both high-speed
fast-poll and low-speed (FSK) modes.

SW1 DIP Switch Settings
SW1 is an 8-position DIP switch. Table 2-1 shows the modem switch
settings for DIP switch SW1. A description of the SW1 switch settings
follows the table.
Note: SW1 settings apply for both high-speed fast-poll and low-
speed (FSK) modes
Table 2-1. Modem Switch Settings for DIP Switch SW1

SW1-1 through SW1-4 −Transmit Level
Switches SW1-1 through SW1-4 adjust the modem’s transmit level.
Table 2-2 shows the transmit levels you can select using these
switches.

Installation
Page 16
SW1-5 −Receiver Dynamic Range
SW1-5 ON = −10 to −43 dBm
OFF = +3 to −30 dBm
For a low receive signal level, set SW1-5 to ON (−43 dBm ). For short
distances or to select a strong receive signal, set SW1-5 to OFF.
SW1-6 and SW1-7 −Cable Equalizer (Fast-Poll Mode Only)
SW1-6 ON = Enable TX Cable Equalizer
OFF = Disable TX Cable Equalizer
SW1-7 ON = Enable RX Cable Equalizer
OFF = Disable RX Cable Equalizer
To improve or extend the modem’s polling performance, use the fixed
Compromise Cable Equalizer when polling on long metallic circuits.
The cable equalizer is active only when the modem is in fast-poll mode
(SW3-1 set to OFF).
SW1-8 −Anti-streaming
SW1-8 ON = Anti-streaming active
OFF = Anti-stream inactive
Typically, anti-streaming is used in multi-point applications to prevent
a malfunctioning slave modem 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 Request To Send (RTS)
transition before proceeding with normal operation. Anti-streaming can
be selected in either high-speed or low-speed mode.

SW2 DIP Switch Settings

settings for DIP switch SW2. A description of the SW2 switch settings
follows the table.

Installation
Page 18
SW2-1 FSK Mode
SW2-1 ON = ITU-T V.23 mode
OFF = Bell 202 mode
The modem has two FSK modes:
Bell 202, which supports data rates from 0 to 1800 bps
ITU-T V.23, which supports data rates from 0 to 1200 bps
SW2-1 configures the modem for either of these FSK modes. Setting
SW2-1 to ON selects ITU-T V.23 mode. In this mode, the modem
complies with ITU-T (CCITT) recommendation V.23 with the
following parameters:
Mode 2 modulation only
No backward channel
No provisions for disablement of echo suppressors
DTR (circuit 108) is ignored
Setting SW2-1 OFF selects Bell 202 mode.
SW2-2 Receiver Squelch (FSK Mode 2-Wire Half-Duplex Only)
SW2-2 ON = 8ms for Bell 202, 150ms for ITU-T V.23
OFF = 0ms
SW2-2 configures the turnaround squelch delay and is valid when the
following are active:
FSK mode (SW3-1 ON)
2-wire half-duplex operation (SW3-7 ON)
Setting this switch to OFF configures the modem to enable its receiver
immediately after the Request To Send (RTS) signal is turned off.
When this switch is set to OFF and the modem is configured for 2-

wire, half-duplex mode (SW3-7 ON), the modem squelches the
receiver after RTS is turned off to prevent far-end echoes from causing
data errors. The duration that the modem squelches the receiver is
either:
8 milliseconds if the modem is configured for Bell 202 mode
(SW2-1 OFF)
150 milliseconds if the modem is configured for ITU-T V.23 mode
(SW2-1 ON)
SW2-3 FSK Soft Carrier (Bell 202 FSK Mode Only)
SW2-3 ON = None
OFF = 8ms
SW2-3 controls the soft carrier and is valid for Bell 202 FSK mode
only (SW2-1 set to OFF). Setting this switch to OFF configures the
modem to transmit a 900 Hz soft carrier to the remote modem for 8
milliseconds after RTS is turned off. Setting this switch to ON prevents
the modem from transmitting a soft carrier after RTS is turned off.
SW2-4 and SW2-5 RTS-CTS Delay (Bell 202 Mode Only)
Switches SW2-4 and SW2-5 determine the duration of the RTS-CTS
delay in Bell 202 mode. Table 2-4 shows how to set these switches to
select the appropriate setting.
Table 2-4. RTS-CTS Delay Settings in Bell 202 Mode

a Delay of…
Set SW2-4 to… And Set SW2-5 to…
8ms OFF OFF
33ms OFF ON
59ms ON OFF
219ms ON ON

Installation
Page 20
When the modem is configured for V.23 operation (SW2-1 ON), the
RTS-CTS delay is fixed at 33 ms.
SW2-6 FSK CD Delay (Bell 202 Mode Only)
SW2-6 ON = 23ms
OFF = 6ms
SW2-6 selects the FSK CD delay and is valid when Bell 202 mode is
active (SW2-1 OFF). Setting SW2-6 ON configures the modem to turn
on CD 23 milliseconds after it detects a valid carrier signal. Setting this
switch to OFF configures the modem to turn on CD 6 milliseconds
after it detects a valid carrier signal.
This switch setting is deactivated when the modem is configured for
V.23 mode (SW2-1 ON) and a delay of 18 milliseconds is used instead.
SW2-7 Remote Loopback
SW2-7 ON = Loopback enabled
OFF = Loopback disabled
During instances of channel noise, the modem may mistaken a received
preamble as a request to go into remote digital loopback. Setting SW2-
7 to OFF prevents the modem from participating in a remote digital
loopback with another modem. SW2-7 does not prevent the modem
from sending a remote digital loopback request to a remote modem.
SW2-8 −Reserved (Test Only)
SW2-8 Must be OFF
SW2-8 must be in the OFF position for normal operation.
