RS-232 Connection (Modem Use)
Modem controls, discussed in Section 5, User Interface Guide, of this manual, will enable or disable
modem control through the RS-232 interface. When this option is enabled from a standard terminal
connection, all RS-232 communications will cease until a modem is attached with a null modem adapter
between the TRACER 4206 and the data modem. The data modem should be configured for AUTO
ANSWER and 9600 bps. When the user connects via modem to the TRACER 4206 unit, communications
via the RS-232 port will resume. If a user accidentally enables modem control from a terminal and disrupts
the RS-232 communication, pressing <Ctrl + Z> three times will temporarily disable the modem control
option (until the system is reset) and access the system configuration to disable modem control.

The TRACER 4206 must be interfaced to a modem via an RS-232 null modem adapter or cable. The null
modem will convert Clear To Send (CTS) and Data Set Ready (DSR) into Ready To Send (RTS) and Data
Terminal Ready (DTR), respectively. These signals will indicate (to most modems) that a valid DTE
terminal device is present. The null modem interface must route Carrier Detect (CD) on pin 8 directly from
the modem, and the modem must source CD only when actually connected to a carrier when using the
RS-232 interface for modem control.

and DSR for a time greater than 20 ms. The null modem will consequently drop DTR and RTS at the
modem interface, signaling the modem to hang up the line. If password functionality is enabled in the
