1. MD-100D/400D Digital RF Modem Main Functions
The MD-100D / 400D digital RF modem has standardized the external appearance and connector
specifications to maintain compatibility with existing analog modems.
It also supports voice call and data communication with DMR transceiver and standard.
When making a voice call, use external microphone and speaker as same as existing digital radio.
It is possible to use transmitter and receiver as a single device when it is used for the village
broadcasting.
In case of data communication, it can be used as a general data modem and it is designed to use AT
COMMAND.

4.3 Channel Setting
There are two ways to set the channel: DIP switch and AT command.
DIP switch channel setting method can be set by using DIP switch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, total 32 channels.
AT Command channel setting has the following rules for the priority of the two methods.
When the power is turned on, the MD-100D / 400D operates as follows.
1) The channel is set according to the DIP switch when booting.
2) When changing channel with AT Command, DIP Switch will be ignored and return to DIP Switch
setting through AT Command (AT * DIP = 1).
DIP Switch Meaning
1 DIP Switch: Binary 5 digit
2 DIP Switch: Binary 4th digit
3 DIP Switch: Binary 3rd digit
4th DIP Switch: 2nd digit in binary
5th DIP Switch: Binary 1st digit

5. MD-100D/400D Operation Mode
MD-100D / 400D supports 3 modes: 1) AT Command mode and 2) continuous mode for keyboard input
or file transfer using Tera term.

MD-100D/400D operation mode
1) AT Command mode
2) 3 Wires continuous mode
-. Operates in 3 Wire Mode (TXD, RXD, GND).
3) 5 Wires continuous mode (used for many data transmission)
-. Supports H / W flow control using TXD, RXD, CTS, RTS, GND.
When the MD-100D / 400D data modem is booted for the first time, AT Command mode is set.

1. AT Command Data Configuration
AT*MSG= ASCII Data(80 byte) 0D0A
2. Structure to send text documents using Tera Term wirelessly
1) RS-232C Serial Buffer of MD-100D/400D (Data Modem) has a total of 10 Kbytes.
Each buffer stores 80 bytes of data.
2) Serial transmission Timer transmits maximum 80 bytes after 120msec received buffer check.
-. To improve performance, the Serial Transfer Timer can be reduced by 120msec, and the amount
of data transferred can be increased or decreased.
-. Currently, the amount of data transferred is fixed at 80 bytes.
3) Therefore, if you use a program like Tera Term to input characters on the keyboard, it will be sent
immediately upon input.
4) You can also transfer files using Tera Term.

2) AIR data transfer structure
Since the DMR Data Modem operates in 2: 1 mode, the actual transmission is as follows.
2:1 TDMA : There are two slots (slot1, slot2(30m/s) in a single channel so it operates as the below
picture.
Figure 2: 1 TDMA structure
3. How to use RS232 / RS422 / RS485 / USB / GPIO / Ethernet connection
4. Did you use CTS and RTS for the cable?
1) The serial buffer of MD-100D/400D is 10Kbyte. If you want to transfer a lot of data (when the amount
of data exceeds 10Kbyte), you should use 5-wire serial communication method as below.
Because the RS232 Speed is 115.200bps and the transmission speed of the wireless section is slower
as 9,600bps, memory management must be done in the serial buffer.

When RTS is "LOW" (when the MD-100D/400D modem's serial buffer has space): The PC or external
device sends normal serial data to the modem.
When RTS is "High" (when the serial buffer of the MD-100D/400D modem is full): it stops sending serial
data to the external device.
When CTS is "LOW", data received by modem is transmitted to PC or external device. If it is HIGH, data
is not transmitted to PC or external device.

5. For Safe Operation
5.1Precautions
5.2 Influences on the Operations of Radio or Other Equipment
The radio emits a strong electronic wave, which may have an effect on the operation of oth
er
equipment and also can be influenced by the other devices.
In case of the area that medical equipment are being used, please use the
radio after discussion with the equipment producer or the related doctor.
Please turn off the radio before boarding on the airplane.
When using the radio in the airplane, please follow the rules or the instructions
of the flight attendants.
• Do not give an excessive shock to the radio.
• Do not place the radio where the direct sunlight and/or the high temperature
occurs..
• If the radio is placed for a long time in a car in summer, the hot temperature in
the car maycause explosion of battery.
• Do not make a damage to the battery by a sharp substance and/or an
excessiveshock.
Do not use other frequency except for the permitted frequency in order not to
be punished by the Radio WavesAct.
Do not disassemble or reorganize the radio. The disassembly or reorganization
will cause a defect or malfunction on the radio. It will be impossible to repair
afterwards. There will also be a punishment made by the Radio WavesAct.
Do not use accessories (such as rechargeable battery, adaptor, external
speaker microphone and earphone etc.) from the other makers, which can
cause defect on battery and malfunction or a defect on the radio.
Do not remove the antenna from the radio or do not transform the antenna or
do not make any changes on the antenna. The strong electronic wave to be
emitted from the radio can have an effect on the performance of the radio and
can cause the radio to have a defect.

6. Safety Notes
Please make sure to read the followings above for safe and effective use of the radio.
7. Handling Caution
• Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance with the FCC
regulations could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
• It is forbidden to install or operate the device other than the responsible person (licensed person).
•The user manual is included in the box.
•How to use and install the product is shown in the figure.
• An indication of the maximum antenna gain permitted to ensure compliance.
this would be 1.5 dBi.
• At the area where an electromagnetic force can be made, please make sure
to turn off the power of the radio.
• The user should limit the operation to 50%.
• RF SafetyDistance on page 13 to match with RF exposure exhibit: 13.21cm for
Occupational / Controlled, and 29.46cm for General / Uncontrolled.
• Be careful that if the outer surface of the antenna is peeled off, there is a
danger of a topic.
Please do not use the radio at the place where computer or other
electric/electronic devices are being used. The strong electronic wave from the
radio can have an effect on the equipment.
