interface. The interface is selectable as either RS-232 three line interface (transmit, receive and
ground) or RS-485 interface to a 4 wire bus with 3 state transmit operation. The modem address
and operating mode is settable via the front panel or from terminal mode. The serial command
mode control interface only responds to commands from its associated controller when properly
addressed.
Refer to the associated "Remote Command Interface Specification" for details of the serial link
command structure, protocol and available commands.

Burst Mode Operation
A standard modulator burst mode has not been implemented in the PSM-500 modem yet. This is
because of the lack of a standard or available burst demodulators. The circuitry is capable of
perfoming this function based on a burst specification. Please contact Datum Systems for specifics
of implementing this function and available burst protocols.
