/DTR |
/DTR is an active low input to the modem. The operation of /DTR is controlled by register SE2 and is normally disabled. When enabled, the modem will exit data mode and enter command mode if /DTR is removed while the modem is on-line. In Pulse and FSK Alarm modes raising /DTR is the only was to disconnect the data link. |

/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. /RI is controlled by register S0D bit 6. The default condition is for /RI to be disabled. |

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 Johanson Dielectrics 502S47N102KV6T. This 1000 pfd, 3000 volt capacitor will direct the high frequency harmonics to the system ground. These capacitors must be rated at a minimum of 1500 volts to maintain the isolation required by FCC Part 68 Rules.
3. 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
XE2422H Design Notes
The following design notes are intended to assist the developer in achieving maximum utility from the XE2422H modem module.
XE2422H Shared Line Features
The XE2422H includes the ability to monitor telephone line conditions before, after and during calls. This allows the XE2422H to avoid conflicts with other equipment connected to the telephone line. There are two modes of operation for the XE2422H Shared Line Features; Connect Detect and Handset Interrupt.
Connect Detect
The XE2422H register SDB monitors the voltage level on the telephone line when the modem is on-hook. The XE2422H checks the value of register SDB before attempting to go off-hook to avoid interrupting a call in progress. The nominal value for loop voltage on the telephone line is typically 48 volts. A reduced voltage level indicates that the line is either disconnected from the modem or is currently in use.
Register SDB is an 8 bit register. It stores the loop voltage as a 2’s complement number with each bit representing 1 volt. The Most Significant Bit represents the polarity of the loop voltage.
Handset Interrupt:
Handset Interrupt permits the modem to yield the telephone line when other equipment connected to the telephone line goes off-hook. This prevents the modem from blocking outgoing emergency calls when the line is shared as in a residential application. Handset Interrupt is accomplished by monitoring the loop current through the modem while the modem is off-hook. The loop current will drop when another piece of equipment goes off-hook on the same telephone line.
The XE2422H constantly monitors and stores the loop current value in Register SF3 in 1.1 milliamp increments. The value of SF3 is regularly updated. The value of SF3 is compared to the Handset Interrupt threshold in register S12. If the value of SF3 is lower than the value of S12 by at least the amount of the Handset Interrupt Differential Current Threshold, S11, then the XE2422H assumes the equipment on an extension telephone has gone off-hook. The modem then issues the Handset Interrupt response “i” and if so configured issues an Interrupt to the systems host controller. The host controller determines if the call should be terminated to yield the telephone line to the extension.
XE2422H AT Commands
The XE2422H uses a simplified "AT" command set for configuration and control. This section describes the AT command format and lists the AT commands, registers and result codes. XE2422H "AT" commands have three operational modes; command mode, alarm mode and data mode. The Data Rate for the XE2422H is set by Register SE0.
Data Mode: The XE2422H enters data mode after it connects to a remote modem and issues the appropriate result code. In the data mode the modem sends all data presented on Transmit Data (TXD) to the remote modem and puts data from the remote modem onto Received Data (RXD). When the modem exits data mode, it issues a "NO CARRIER" result code.
Command Mode: The XE2422H enters command mode on power-up, reset, a lost connection, or receipt of the escape code. In command mode the modem accepts commands from the host on transmit data. Appropriate result codes are returned on RXD.
Command Line Format
Command lines issued to the modem follow a strict format. Each command line begins with the prefix AT. All commands except the “z” command must be entered in upper case characters. The command line is a string of commands between the AT prefix and the carriage return which terminates the command. The command buffer stores the command line and executes it upon receipt of a carriage return. Commands will be executed in the sequence they appear in the command line.
Result Codes - The modem issues a result code after each command line. Result codes may be sent as single characters or single characters followed by a carriage return.
Alarm Mode:
The XE2422H supports a unique set of commands to establish alarm industry connections. Both Pulse messaging and FSK formats are supported. The AT!1 command initiates Pulse messaging and AT!2 initiates FSK messaging. The ATD command must precede either AT! command to begin the Alarm transaction. In Alarm mode, /DTR must be removed to disconnect the modem link. /DTR is activated by setting register SE2 bits 4 and 5.
Pulse Mode: In Pulse Mode messages are passed using DTMF tones. The receiving station acknowledges receipt of the message by transmitting the “Kissoff” tone. A sample transaction is shown below.
Alarm Panel XE2422H
ATDT#!1<message 1><CR>
K
!<message 2><CR>
K
!<message n><CR>
K
Disconnect is accomplished by raising /DTR.
FSK Mode: In FSK Mode messages are passed on a 300 bps, half-duplex carrier signal. The X1, X2, and X3 commands switch the modem between monitoring the line for acknowledgments (X1), transmitting messages (X2), and receiving messages (X3). As in the pulse mode disconnect is only possible by pulling the /DTR signal high.

FCC Instructions
The XE2422H complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. With each device shipped, there is a label which contains the FCC Registration Number. The FCC Registration number incorporates the Model Number, Manufacturer Indentifier, Product Type identifier and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this product. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. The format of the FCC Registration Number is shown below.
The mounting of this device in the final assembly must be made in such a manner as to preserve the high voltage protection between the TIP/RING Connection and the rest of the system. Typically, this may be accomplished by maintaining a minimum spacing 100 mils between the TIP/RING Traces to the RJ-11C Jack and low voltage portion of the system. No additional circuitry may be attached between TIP/RING and the telephone line connection, unless specifically allowed in the rules.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to a telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when the number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to the line, as determined by the REN, you should contact the local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for you calling area.
If your system causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notification is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
If you experience trouble with this device, please contact CERMETEK at (408) 945-6640 for information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask you to disconnect this device from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the device is not malfunctioning.
