Electrical Interfaces DMD2401/DMD2401L/DMD2401 IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
5-8 TM065 – Rev. 3.3
5.4.6 ALARM (J6)
The modem has two Form-C Dry Contact Alarm Relays onboard and an Alarm Connector located
on the rear panel, the 9-pin male “D” sub connector (J6).
The two relays are designated Modulator Alarm and Demodulator Alarm. Non-Alarm is defined as
the powered state of the relay. Thus, if there is a Modulator Alarm and/or Demodulator Alarm, the
pins will be connected as shown in Table 5-3:
The pin definitions for J6 are shown in Table 5-4. Note that the NC and NO (Normally Closed and
Normally Open nomenclature applies to non-energized relays.
5.4.7 REMOTE (J7)
The Remote Port (J7) is the RS-485 connection for remote monitor and control of the modem. It
is a 9-Pin Female “D” Connector. Refer to Table 5-5 for the connector pinouts.
5.4.8 ASYNC DATA (J8)
The Asynchronous Data (J8) is the data interface for asynchronous data. It uses RS-232, and
RS-485 Interfaces and is a 9-Pin Female “D” Connector. Refer to Table 5-9 for the connector
pinouts. Refer to Section 5.8 for configuration switch settings.

5.4.9 DATA INTERFACE (J9)
The Data Interface Port (J9) is used for the Synchronous Data Interface and uses RS-422, RS-
232, and V.35 Interfaces. It is a 37-Pin Female Connector. Refer to Table 5-6 for the connector
pinouts.
