LED
Description
IN RANGE
With a client transceiver, it lights if the client transceiver is in range of a server transceiver
with the same system ID and channel number. With a server transceiver, it always lights
when the server is powered in normal mode and is ready to accept data.
Status 1
Reflects the state of the Command/Data pin (AC4490, AC4486, AC4424, AC4790,
AC4868), the TE pin (AC3124, AC1524) and the Pktmode pin (AC5124). This is
controlled by the PC RTS pin when the Program Mode/Normal Mode switch is set to
Program Mode. Lights when this pin goes low.
Status 2
Lights when the Write Enable pin (AC4424 / 5124/ 3124 / 1524) or GI1 pin (AC4490 /
4486 / 4790 / 4868) goes low. Controlled by WR ENABLE and Gen IN 1 buttons.

Interfacing the AC DVK to RS232 Hardware
The DVK serial board is defined as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment). DCE is wired to interface
directly with DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). Typically, DTE is defined as a PC and DCE is defined as a
peripheral. To interface DCE to other DCE or DTE to other DTE, a null modem is required. The null modem
swaps pins to convert a DCE to a DTE and vice-versa. Normally, a null modem consists of a female and a male
DB9 connector. A typical null modem configuration is shown below.

Interfacing the AC DVK to RS485 Hardware
The SDK serial board has been designed to interface to RS-485 equipment. If such operation is desired, the
COMM Select jumper should be set to RS485 Enable. The RS-485 circuitry used by the SDK board has been
specially designed to negate the requirement for a DE/RE signal. Thus, the receiver is always enabled unless
the transceiver has something to send to the OEM host. The OEM must ensure that the OEM host does not
send data at the same time as the transceiver; otherwise a RS-485 contention occurs because the RS-485
hardware is half duplex.

RS-485 Pin Name
Description
A TRUE
The non-inverted form of the serial data. This pin is at rest high.
B INVERT
The inverted form of the serial data (exact inversion of A TRUE). This pin is at rest low.
