1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 1000RC generates and uses radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and
television reception. The Model 1000RC has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a
commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model
1000RC does cause interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the power off or disconnecting the
RS-232 interface, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures: moving the computing
equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna
and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such
that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).

1.2 SERVICE

All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight
prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a
Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping
container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics
Technical Service at [phone].

Packages received without an

RMA number will not be accepted.

Patton Electronics' technical staff is also available to answer any
questions that might arise concerning the installation or use of your
Model 1000RC. Technical Service hours: 8AM to 5PM EST, Monday

through Friday.

In the event that the user detects intermittent or continuous product
malfunction due to nearby high power transmitting radio frequency
equipment, the user is strongly advised to take the following steps:

1) Use only data cables with an external outer shield bonded to a

metal or metalized connector, and...

2) Configure the rear card as shown in Section 3.3.1 in this

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Model 1000RC Asynchronous Short Range Modem Rack
Card is a dual rack card incorporating two short range modems. Both

units operate full duplex at data rates to 19.2 Kbps over 2 twisted pairs
and support distances to 17 miles. The Model 1000RC features 13
easy-to-read front panel LEDs, which monitor the status of data
transmission. The Model 1000RC also incorporates Silicon Avalanche
Diodes for protection against the damaging effects of nearby lightning
strikes and other harmful transients.

The Model 1000RC uses the latest surface mount technology to
attain high quality short range modem performance in a convenient
rack card. Filling one function card slot on Patton’s Model 1000R16P
rack chassis, the Model 1000RC is available with RJ-11 or RJ-45 rear
interface cards. For workgroup and desktop communications, the
Model 1000RC also fits in Patton’s 2, 4 and 8 slot Cluster Boxes. The
combination of rack mount, Cluster Box and self-powered units
provides a completely integrated Model 1000 “networking” solution.

This section describes the location and orientation of the Model
1000RC's configuration straps, provides detailed instructions on setting
each strap and describes the settings for each of the rear connection
cards.

The Model 1000RC uses two sets of configuration straps. These
straps are accessible when the card is slid out of the rack chassis (see
Figure 1, below). Once configured, the Model 1000RC is designed to
operate transparently, without need for frequent re-configuration: just
set it and forget it!
