Pin Descriptions ---------------- RXD - RECEIVED DATA - This is the received data and is a modem output signal into theC64. It comes on CB1 and PB0 which are tied together in the modem. A/O - ANSWER/ORIGINATE - This is an input signal to the modem from the C64. It comes in on PB1. the ANSWER MODE is selected by a low(0v) signaland the ORIGINATE MODE by a high(+5v) signal. ST - SQUELCH TONE SIGNAL - When this line is high(+5v),there will be no transmitted tone out of the modem. During normal operation, this line should be low(0v). The purpose of this line is to squelch the tone during dialing sequence and during the two(2) second FCC hold-off period. It may also be used to squelch the tone for voice communications or other signaling. This signal comes out on PB2. This is an input signal to the modem. RI - RING INDICATOR - This signal is a modem output signal on PB3. It is normally high(+5v). When the phone rings, it goes low with each cycle of the ring frequency. So for each ring, it will go low about 20 times. It is used for AUTO-ANSWER MODE to know when the phone is ringing. When using this mode, it is best not to allow the computer to answer until about one and a half rings have gone through. This would be about thirty ring cycles. Rings occur at about one second intervals and unless a count thirty is established in two seconds, it is possible to get transient noise to trigger the ring circuit. DCD - CARRIER DETECT - This is an output signal to the modem on PB4. This signal goes low(0v) 250ms after a carrier has been detected. A program should be set up so that no information is transferred unless this signal is present which means use the squelch. HOOK - HOOK/DIAL SIGNAL - This is an input signal to the modem on PB5. When this signal goes low (0v), the phone line goes OFF HOOK. This line should go low to answer a call or to originate a call. This line is also used for pulse dialing. The ratio for pulse dialing should be 39ms to 61ms with 39ms being OFF HOOK. Between digits, there should be a wait of 800ms. Remember ZERO is ten pulses. TDX - TRANSMIT DATA - This is an input signal to the modem on CB2. This is the data fom the C64 to be transmitted out on the phone line.
