8.8.1.4 MODEM TO FIP CABLE
The modem is connected to the CPU debug port and uses a special serial cable with pin connections outlined
below:
AFP-2800/2802 Debug Port
DB9(male) Labelled CONN2
Modem Connector
DB9 (male)
Modem Connector
DB25 (male)
Pin 2 RX Pin 2 Pin 3
Pin 3 TX Pin 3 Pin 2
Pin 5 GRND Pin 5 Pin 7
Pin 7 RTS Pin 4 Pin 20
Pin 7 linked to 8 Pin 4 linked to 5
Notes:
All other pins should be left disconnected.
The cable is not bi-directional. When making or connecting the cable, make sure that each end is marked
and connected correctly to either CPU or Modem.
This cable can not be used to change the AT settings of the modem. A standard modem cable (modem to
PC) should be used for setting the modem options.

AFP-2800/2802 can be interfaced to serial printers, pagers and nurse call systems using the printer port on the
CPU (CONN1). A global option on the FIP will enable/disable printing. Any standard terminal program or the AFP-
2800/2802 PCI history upload tool can be used to monitor the output of this port. An example of this text output is
included in the next section for reference.

Pin 7 (RTS) - -
Pin 8 (CTS) Pin 4 (RTS) Pin 7 (RTS)
Notes:
Pin 8 (CTS) on the CPU side has to be high (+5v) for AFP-2800/2802 to print. If the printer/pager
does not support Hardware handshaking (RTS signal), link pin 7 and 8 (on the CPU side) to allow
printing without handshaking.
A global option on the FIP will enable/disable printer output.
