Q-9600 Series modem
Async Ports - Comm 1 and 2 (information available if needed)

Note:

These async ports will not work with the VDC-500 as the VDC-500 requires input clocks for both
transmit and receive

Important note:	(1)	You will not have any receive function unless DTR is active High!
			Must be pulled to logic high if not provided by the DTE equipment
		(2)	VDC-500 should be in position 1 (Full Duplex, 2 clocks, CTS used)

Remember that for normal military use, a crypto box would be installed between the ViaSat 
Unit and the Rockwell modem. However, for non encrypted traffic, the modem and the VDC-500
will work together fine.

If making a special cable (most likely), ensure that the VDC-500 has pin 13 and 14 tied 
to pin 5 thus allowing the VDC-500 to operate in the correct mode of operation.
