16 MULTI RF DECK/ MULTI CONTROL HEAD
16.9 Communication Ports

PC Interface Protocol

In a Multi RF Deck/ Multi Control Head structure, the remote control by applications such as KAS-10 is available by using
a serial interface port of the transceiver.
If a PC command is executed from COM 1 or COM 2 of a D-sub 25-pin connector of an RF Deck, the communication ports
of each RF Deck behave individually according to the configuration for the connected RF Deck, regardless of whether the
RF Deck is the Selected RF Deck or Unselected RF Deck.
If a PC command is executed from COM 0 in a Multi RF Deck system, the communication port (COM 0) of the Selected RF
Deck behaves. If a PC command is executed from COM 0, a response command is returned to the Control Head that
executed the PC command.
Note
In a Multi RF Deck system, if a PC command is executed from COM 1 or COM 2 of the Unselected RF Deck, some of
the commands are restricted.
16.10 External Ports (AUX Input/ Output)
In a Multi RF Deck/ Multi Control Head structure, external devices such as Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) can be connected
by using the AUX Input/ Output port of the transceiver. (Refer to
The functions configured for a D-sub 25-pin connector behave only for the RF Deck connected to the D-sub 25-pin connector,
regardless of whether the RF Deck is the Selected RF Deck or Unselected RF Deck. The functions configured for the 12-
pin connector of a Control Head behave individually for the Selected RF Deck according to the configurations of the
communication ports of each RF Deck.
