Alex -

How you access is depends on which communications method are you attempting
to use. The DSS1611 permits either RS-232 type and 3-wire type
communications. Which one is recognized is determined by the state of the
COMSEL Pin. If COMSEL
is LOW the chip expects to have RS-232 communication used (Serin/Serout). If
COMSEL is HIGH the 3-Wire method of communications will be used.

Since the 3-Wire method appears to require the use of the _INT Pin it might
be best to use the RS-232 Method. If the 3-Wire Method is REQUIRED for your
application there MAY be a way to deal with it.

Which method were you attempting to use ?
