with the tech edge, it already has a rj11 and rj45 plug/s. which one to use? pin 1,2,4 on the rj11 or pin 2,3,5 on the rj45? im a little confused.
Other RJ45 Outputs - SVout, NBsim, WBlin+, GND & Vbatt
The
SVout [pin 1],
WBlin+
[pin 4] &
NBsim [pin 6] signals are all described in detail above. The
SVout signal is intended for analogue displays like the
LD01 and those displays will also use
Vbatt &
GND described below. The RJ45 connector signal names are shown at right.
A fused, protected and partially filtered
battery voltage
Vbatt is available from
[pin 8] (right most RJ45 signal). This output is provided to power other devices such as the
LD02 display. It should only be connected to devices that will draw small currents; typically less than 100 milliamps. Excessive current consumption may cause heating of an internal dropping/protection resistor.
A ground
GND point
[pin 5-RJ45] is provided as a return for the RS232 and Vbatt connections.
Note that there are number of unconnected outputs (N/C = No Connection) on each of the RJ-45 connectors. Those N/C's that have uses on other wideband units are shown "greyed in" and include WBlin (pin 4) and NBsim (pin 6).
6 Pin RJ11 Connector - LSS Tx & Rx, also SVout, WBlin+, GND & Vbatt
The right hand side
RJ11 connector is designed for use with an intelligent serial display. Its primary feature is a second serial channel called the
Low Speed Serial (
LSS) interface which has a
1200 baud data rate (ie. low speed) which is adequate for most displays. Additionally there are duplicates signals found on the RJ45 and green 6 pin connector.
LSS Tx [pin 2] sends data frames to display.
LSS Rx [pin 1] is not currently supported in firmware.
Batt+ [pin 6] &
GND [pin 4] provide current limited power and a return GND for the external display.
SVout [pin 5] &
WBlin+ [pin 3] are described in sections above.
