Mini Modem

Designed for easy installation with RS-232 controllable equipment, the Mini Modem

is an installer’s answer to a time consuming and complicated process. The Mini

Modem comes with the initialization string preprogrammed and all the cables needed

to connect to the equipment. Mounting is not a problem because of its size. With the

enclosed hook & loop tape, this modem can be easily attached to just about any

surface area. The LED indicators on the front panel allow for viewing of the signals

and power. For locations that need some privacy, the modem has a speaker on/off

switch in addition to the software commands.

The Mini Modem is a winner when it comes to industrial environments. The enclosure

which is molded from UL94V0 plastic is just the beginning. Only top of the line

semiconductors are used, especially the RS-232 port. The 15KV ESD protection

rating ensures reliable operation in static prone environments. The DC power input

has a large voltage range of 9V-24V and is not polarity sensitive. Plugging an RJ-11

phone cord into this unit has never been easier. There is only one line jack so there is

no confusion as with a two jack system which has a line and phone connection.

So Simple.

The perfect modem for Panja & Crestron systems

Aurora has made this modem with control systems in mind. We designed a cable for

the RS-232 port for use on either brand. Our preprogrammed initialization strings

allow quick setup without having to know all the different codes that vary from one

manufacturer to another. Basically, we have standardized a modem for this and many

other applications. Everything is included for mounting and connecting to the system.

The advantage of standardization is simple, one modem for many types of systems

with no changes to the compatibility. We have successfully transferred files over the

modem at 19.2Kbps for the Panja (AMX) and 115Kbps for the Crestron. Application

notes and programming tips can be found at www.auroramultimedia.com

Installation is easy

1. Find the mounting location for the modem and attach the hook & loop tape to the

bottom of the modem by peeling away the adhesive strip. Next, remove the other

adhesive strip and press firmly onto the surface where it is to be located.

2. Connect the 9 pin male end of the RS-232 cable labeled MM to the Mini Modem.

The other end will connect to the RS-232 port of the equipment. Gender and size of

the connector is based on the equipment it is used with. The product code located on

the packing slip determines the cables included with the Mini Modem.

Panja String: AT&F0 (ENTER) ATE0L3S0=1&Q0&D0&K0&W0&Y0 (ENTER)

Crestron String:AT&F0 (ENTER) ATE0L3S0=1&D0&K5&W0&Y0 (ENTER)

Note: We have found the strings to provide the most reliability for communications up

to 115Kbps for Crestron and 19.2Kbps for Panja (AMX).

If the modem is used for a desktop computer system, do not use the Panja/Crestron

cable. Instead use a 9 pin female - 9 pin female pin-pin with all hardware handshaking

lines and use the following string: AT&F0E0&W0 (ENTER)

Tips

Use with Panja (AMX) Axcent 3: The auto baud can sometimes hangup the

modem at certain times when it checks for the computer. If this becomes a

problem, enter the string below in the axcess Define_Start section:

SEND_COMMAND 0,’SET BAUD 19200’

The 19200 can be substituted with 1200, 4800, 9600 baud rates. Remember the

baud rate since it will take it out of auto baud!

Use with Crestron: Set the Crestron frame for 38400 or less for the most

reliability. This is to assure proper uploads and downloads to network devices

such as touch panels. Using a higher baud rate will exceed the 38400 Crestron

network bus speed thus causing errors. If you are using version 1.40.07 of SIMPL

Windows, make certain you have the patch cmvpt32.dll dated 5/04/00 for the

viewport. If not, uploading programs to the frame will not be possible. If after

loading a program there is no communication to make a permanent memory

image, cancel the function then select send program from the file transfer (top

menu bar) again. Next, select permanent memory image only and it will carry out

the function. Crestron states they will look into the problem.

Note: Version 1.50.00 and above does not have the above problem.

In general practice, try not to send strings out through the master programming port

when using a control system with a modem. Modems in general will respond with an

error response making it harder to connect up to the unit. It is good practice to issue

the (enter)AT(enter) command out the programming port upon startup so the modem

can lock onto the baud rate of the unit.
