MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE                                                 HARDWARE 
Transistors Q5 and Q6 are used to isolate the battery from the +5 volt line when main power 
is available.  R33 protects the lithium battery from overload conditions and provides a 
convenient means of monitoring battery current drain when the TNC is switched off.  JMP5 
provides a means of disconnecting the negative side of the lithium battery for MFJ-1278B 
maintenance. 
 
U2 and associated components form a charge-pump voltage inverter which generates an 
unregulated negative supply for the RS-232C drivers. 
 
U3c, Q2, CR6 and surrounding components provide a regulated source of  -5 volts for the 
modem chips.  
 
The modem power sources and ground are isolated from digital logic switching noise by 
inductor L2. 
RS-232C HANDSHAKING PROTOCOL 
The CTS, DSR and DTR lines of the RS-232C port, J1, are used for hardware 
"handshaking" protocol to control the flow of data between the terminal (DTE) and the 
MFJ-1278B (DCE). 
 
The MFJ-1278B always asserts Data Set Ready (DSR) on J1 pin 6 via resistor R16.  Thus, 
whenever the MFJ-1278B is powered up, it signals to the terminal connected to J1 that the 
MFJ-1278B is "on line." 
 
The terminal indicates it is ready to receive data from the MFJ-1278B by asserting its Data 
Terminal Ready (DTR) output, J1 pin 20.  The MFJ-1278B will send data when it has data to 
send and DTR is asserted.  If the terminal is not ready to receive data, it should negate (make 
false) DTR to the MFJ- 1278B.  Thus, data flow  from the MFJ-1278B  to the terminal is 
controlled by the use of the DTR line.  The state of the DTR line is ignored by the software if 
"software flow control" is enabled in this direction. 
 
The MFJ-1278B asserts its  Clear  To  Send (CTS) output, J1 pin 5, whenever it is ready to 
receive data from the terminal.  If the MFJ-1278B's buffers fill, it will negate CTS, signaling 
the terminal to stop sending data.  The MFJ-1278B will assert CTS when it is again ready to 
receive data from the terminal.  Thus, data flow  from the terminal  to the MFJ-1278B is 
controlled by the use of the CTS line.  The CTS line is always asserted if "software flow 
control" is enabled in this direction.
