Data sheet

Characteristics
The board 23WT23 is a printed circuit in Euro-card format (160
mm x 100 mm). All necessary configuration like transmit output
level, receiver sensitivity, two- or four wire operation are config-
urable by jumper.

The interface to the data terminal equipment (DTE) operates

according to the RS 232-C standard and supplies the following
signals:
TxD Transmit data
RxD Receive data
RTS Request to send
DCD Data carrier detected
CTS Clear to send
DSR Data set ready

The receiver level is monitored and an alarm relay indicates in

parallel to the light emitting diode (LED) ST a drop out for a

The 23WT23 board is a modem which converts the serial data
LEDs on the front plate show the signal state of the RS 232-C
according to CCITT V.23 standard. Therefore it can be used for

Two- or four-wire operation mode is selectable by jumper. The

be optional inserted on request to protect against transient over-
voltage peaks (see Fig. 2).
The modem 23WT23 is available in two versions (rubrics):
R0001: 5 V DC power supply
The 23WT23 modem operates according to CCITT V.23 in half-
R0002: 24 V DC power supply
and full-duplex mode with 1200 bit/s. Version R002 is connec-
tor compatible to the 23WT21 modem and should be used in
RTU232 basic subrack only. In all other cases the 5 volt version
rubric 0001 should be used.
