Note When the front panel channel select option is fitted, input port should
not be used from the external connector CN3 as it is wired to the
thumbwheel switch.
7.3.1 CN4 DB9 Male RS232 Connector
RS232 serial port to the MX800. It may be optionally located on the front
panel of the MX800. Only 3 wires are required for the MX800 TXD, RXD
and ground. The function of TXD and RXD pins can be interchanged by
changing jumpers JMP10 and JMP11. Table 7-5 CN4 Connector Jumpers
below illustrates this.
Name Function JMP 10/11
(Referred to MX800) 2-3 1-2
CN4 Pin no CN4 pin no
TD Transmitted Data 3 2
RD Received Data 2 3
SG Signal Ground 5 5
Table 7-5 CN4 Connector Jumpers
Note Both JMP10 and JMP11 must be set to the same positions. In
position 2-3 the radio will require a serial cable with the TXD and
RXD lines cross-connected. In position 1-2 a one to one cable is
required.
7.3.2 CN6 Simplex Relay/External Reference
This is an N type connector, which acts as the RF I/O port for simplex
operation. Optionally the RX input for duplex operation may use this port
instead of the BNC port or if an external reference is required this port can be
used.
