    Pin Descriptions
    PIN NAME
    DESCRIPTION
    1
    Tip
    The Ring and Tip signals connect the modem to the telephone line. FCC Part 68 Rules
    require a 1500 volt isolation barrier between the telephone line and all other circuits.
    This isolation must be preserved throughout the system.
    The telephone company places a DC “Battery” voltage across Tip and Ring on public
    switched telephone lines. The XE5617H operates regardless of the polarity of this voltage.
    The “Battery” voltage drives up to 100 milliampere of DC loop current.
    UL60950 requires minimum creepage and clearances distances between the Tip and
    Ring and all other circuits. Clearance is the shortest distance between conductive circuits;
    creepage is the distance between conductive points along the surface
    2
    Ring
    The Ring and Tip signals connect the modem to the telephone line. FCC Part 68 Rules
    require a 1500 volt isolation barrier between the telephone line and all other circuits.
    This isolation must be preserved throughout the system.
    UL60950 requires minimum creepage and clearances distances between the Tip and
    Ring and all other circuits. Clearance is the shortest distance between conductive circuits;
    creepage is the distance between conductive points along the surface.
    3
    /DSR
    /DSR is an active low output from the modem. The /DSR signal typically indicates that
    the modem has established a communications link. The AT&S command determines
    the operation of the /DSR signal.

    PIN NAME
    DESCRIPTION
    4
    /DCD
    /DCD is an active low output from the modem. /DCD normally indicates that the mo-
    dem has detected a valid carrier signal from the remote modem. The AT&C command
    controls when the XE5617H asserts /DCD.
    5
    /DTR
    /DTR is an active low input to the modem. An active /DTR signals traditionally
    indicates that the terminal is available for communications. The AT&D command
    determines how the modem interprets activity on /DTR.
    6
    /RI
    The /RI signal reports on the presence of an incoming ring signal. When a ring occurs
    across Tip and Ring, the /RI output goes low and toggles with the cadence of the ring
    signal.
    7
    SPKR
    SPKR provides a Pulse Width Modulated version of the signal on Tip and Ring allowing
    connection of a speaker to the modem to monitor modem operations. The signal on
    SPKR is controlled by the ATL and ATM commands.
    8
    Ground
    Ground provides the reference voltage for all host interface signals.
    9
    /TXD
    /TXD provides the path for transmitted data and modem commands to be passed from
    the host controller to the modem.
    10
    /RXD
    /RXD provides the path for received data and modem responses to be sent from the
    modem to the host controller.
    11
    /RESET
    /RESET is an active low input which initiates a modem hardware reset. /RESET must
    be active for a minimum of 100 milliseconds for a proper modem reset sequence. No
    external reset is required; if none is used the RESET signal should be left open.
    12
    /CTS
    /CTS is an active low output from the modem. When hardware flow control is set, the
    modem asserts /CTS to indicate that it can accept data from the terminal equipment on
    /TXD.
    13
    N/C
    No Connection; this pin should remain unconnected.
    14
    VCC
    VCC provides 3.3 volt power to the modem.
    15
    /RTS
    /RTS is an active low input to the modem. When hardware flow control is set, an active
    /RTS indicates to the modem that the host has data to send.
    16, 17
    N/C
    These pins are provided only for mechanical stability. These pins must remain
    unconnected.

    Notes:
    1 Capacitors, C1 and C2, may be required for EMI filtering in your system. Without these components
    you may experience unintended radiation when the telephone cable is attached. C1 and C2 are high-
    voltage capacitors. We recommend the Novocap ES2211N681K502NXTM . This 680 pfd, 5000 volt
    capacitor will direct the high frequency harmonics to the system ground.
    2. F1 is a positive thermal coefficient (PTC) device which protects the modem from excessive current
    flow. These devices are required for your system to pass UL60950. Fuses may be used in place of the
    PTC’s

    XE5617H Connection Data
    The XE5617H reports data on the current connection in response to the ATI11 command. Because many
    of the reported parameters require an active connection, this command is best utilized from the on-line
    command mode accessed with the escape sequence. The items shown in italics are only valid during an
    active call.
    The Connection Report is presented in two pages. The first page will be displayed on receipt of the ATI11
