2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1080A Series Universal Short Range Modem
operates 2-wire (half duplex) or 4-wire (full or half duplex), in
synchronous or asynchronous modes, over unconditioned telephone
lines. The Model 1080A supports bit rates up to 57.6 kbps. The Model
1080A-64 supports rates up to 64 kbps. Both operate in synchronous
mode between the local and remote modems; when connected to an
asynchronous RS-232 device, the Model 1080A Series SRM converts
the asynchronous data to synchronous data.
The Model 1080A Series has several features to enhance overall
performance: automatic equalization, automatic gain control, antistreaming timer, transformer isolation to guard against data loss due to
ground potential differences, and Silicon Avalanche Diode surge
protection to guard against data line transients.
The Model 1080A Series features V.52 compliant bit error rate
pattern tests and two V.54 test modes: local analog loopback and
remote digital loopback. The operator at the local end may test both
local and remote modems, plus the line, in the digital loopback mode.
Both RDL and LAL modes can be controlled by a manual switch or via
the V.24/RS-232 interface.

3.0 CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
The Model 1080A Series is fairly simple to install and is ruggedly
designed for excellent reliability: just set it and forget it. The following
instructions will help you set up and install the Model 1080A or 1080A64 properly.
3.1 CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
The Model 1080A Series uses a unique set of 24 external mini DIP
switches that allow configuration to an extremely wide range of
applications. These 24 DIP switches are grouped into three eightswitch sets, and are externally accessible from the underside of the unit
(see Figure 1). Since all configuration DIP switches are externally
accessible, there is no need to open the case for configuration.
The configuration switches allow you to select data rates, clocking
methods, V.52 & V.54 tests, word lengths, extended signaling rates,
async. or sync. mode, 2- or 4-wire operation, anti-stream control and
input impedance. The drawings, text and tables on the following pages
describe all switch locations, positions and functions.

3.4 CONFIGURATION SWITCH SET “S3”
The DIP switches on S3 set the anti-stream control, local loopback
enable, remote loopback enable and receive (input) impedance levels
for the Model 1080A Series. Factory default positions of Switch S3 are
shown in the table below.
Switches S3-1 & S3-2: Input Impedance
The setting for Switches S3-1 and S3-2 determines the 1080A
Series’ input impedance. This allows you to choose the optimum
impedance setting for your application. In long distance applications
the impedance of the cable must match the impedance of the load (or
resistor) of the Model 1080A Series unit. Thicker gauge cables
requires a lower Ohm setting, while a thinner gauge cable should
receive a higher Ohm setting. If you are using higher speeds you will
need a lower Ohm setting, and a higher Ohm setting for the slower
speeds. Refer to the table on the following page for assistance in
selecting a setting.

4.0 INSTALLATION
The Model 1080A Series operates in four twisted pair topologies:
2-wire/point-to-point, 2-wire/multipoint, 4-wire/point-to-point, and
4-wire/multipoint. In each of these topologies, the twisted pair wire
must be 19 - 26 AWG "dry", unconditioned metallic wire (see Appendix
C for wire recommendations). Dial-up analog circuits, such as those
used with a standard Hayes-type modem, are not acceptable. The
twisted pair may be shielded or unshielded. Both types yield favorable
results.
The Model 1080A Series offers two methods of twisted pair
connection: RJ-45 jack and terminal blocks. Figure 3 (below) shows
the location of these interfaces on the rear panel of the Model 1080A
Series. Connect the wire to each Model 1080A Series as described in
the instructions that follow the illustration. The “+” and “-” indicators are
for reference only. The Model 1080A Series is not sensitive to polarity.
4.1 TWO-WIRE INSTALLATION
When communicating over a single twisted pair circuit, the Model
1080A Series operates half duplex: that is, it transmits in only one
direction at a time. This method of operation is effective for both pointto-point and multipoint applications.
In single pair point-to-point applications, you will need a pair of
Model 1080A or 1080A-64s for each circuit—one at each end of the
single pair wire. In single-pair multipoint applications you will need
three or more Model 1080A Series units. These can be connected
using a star topology, although a daisy chain topology is usually used.

B. Connect one wire of the pair to a Transmit lug (TX+ or TX-) on
both the local and remote Model 1080A or 1080A-64.
C. Connect the other wire of the pair to the other Transmit lug on
both the local and remote Model 1080A or 1080A/64.
D. If there is a shield around the telephone cable, it may be
connected to GND on the terminal block. We recommend connecting
the shield at the computer end only to avoid ground loops. A ground
wire is not necessary for proper operation of these units.
E. When you finish connecting the telephone line to units at both
ends, it should look like the following diagram:
4.2 FOUR-WIRE INSTALLATION
When communicating over a two twisted pair circuit, the Model
Series can operate full or half duplex, point-to-point or multipoint. In
two pair point-to-point applications, you will need a
pair
of Model
1080As or 1080A-64s for each circuit—one at
each end
of the single
pair wire. In two pair multipoint applications you will need three or more
Model 1080A Series units.. These can be connected using a star
topology, although a daisy chain topology is usually used.

4.3 FOUR-WIRE, MULTIPOINT INSTALLATION
Multipoint operation involves the connection of several terminals to
one host port. In such an application, one local Model 1080A/1080A-64
is used as a master unit, and it is connected to several remote Model
1080A/1080A-64s that are acting as slaves. Up to 25 Model 1080A
Series slaves may be connected to one host Model 1080A Series
master SRM, provided that the computing hardware and software
support that many terminal drops.
In a multipoint environment the master Model 1080A or 1080A-64
transmits continually. Initiation of two-way communication is carriercontrolled by each “slave” Model 1080A Series unit. To facilitate
multipoint communication, the master Model 1080A-64 should have its
carrier control DIP switch set to “constantly ON” (S1-8=OFF). Each
slave Model 1080A Series unit should have its carrier control DIP
switch set to “controlled by RTS” (S1-8=ON). Figure 4 illustrates a
typical Model 1080A Series multipoint application.
4.3.1 Multipoint Twisted Pair Connection
The Model 1080A Series supports multipoint applications using a
star topology. Maximum distance between the units will vary based
upon the number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Patton
Technical Support for specific distance estimates. Figures 11 and 12
show how to wire the one-pair and two-pair cables properly for a Model
star topology. Note that the ground connection is not needed.

4.4 RS-232 CONNECTION
Connect the synchronous or asynchronous output of your RS-232
device to the DB-25 interface on the rear panel of the Model 1080A
Series. Note: The Model 1080A Series is wired to connect to a DTE.
If your RS-232 output device is DCE, call Patton Technical Support at:

5.1.4 The “Error” Indicators
The “Error” indicator LED has three functions:
A. When the 1080A Series unit is in test mode (green “Test” LED is
lit), the error LED glows red when bit errors occur.
B. When not in test mode (green “Test” LED is off), the error LED is
used to indicate an RTS streaming condition. (See Section 5.2) for
information on the anti-streaming circuitry.
C. The “Error” LED is also used to detect line quality, such:
1. The improper use of flat (non-twisted pair) cable to connect
the modems.
2. One or more broken wire in the 4 wire twisted pair cable.
3. The use of low quality twisted pair cable to connect the
modems.
4. Broken or corroded connector.
NOTE: In detecting line quality the “Error” LED indicator is designed for
4 wire twisted pair cable only, and may not function properly with two
wire cable.
5.1.4.1 Setting Up The “Error” LED To Test Cable Quality
If there is any question as to the quality of your line we recommend
the following test:
1. Disconnect both local and remote modems from their RS-232
interface. Make sure “TD”, “RD” and “RTS” LEDs are lit red.
2. Set input impedance of both modems to 200Ω. (S3-1 “On”,
S3-2 “Off”). NOTE: When testing Model 1080A-64, use
22AWG, 24AWG, or 26AWG cable only,
3. For Model 1080A, set data rate on both modems for 9.6kbps
For Model 1080A-64, set data rate on both modems at 16
kbps.
4. On local modem set “Carrier Constantly On”. (S1-8 “Off”)
5. Set remote modem to RTS control (S1-8, “On”).
6. Place both front panel toggle switches to neutral position.
(Test Led will not light)
7. Connect both modems to the 4 wire twisted pair cable.

5.0 OPERATION
Once you have configured each Model 1080A Series unit properly
and connected the twisted pair and RS-232 cables (see Section 4.0),
you are ready to operate the units. This section describes reading the
LED status monitors, powering-up and using the built-in V.52 and V.54
test modes.
5.1 LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 1080A Series features six front panel status LEDs that
indicate the condition of the modem and communication link. Figure 5
shows the front panel location of each LED. Following Figure 5 is a
description of each LED's function.
5.1.1 The “TD” and “RD” Indicators
The “TD” and “RD” indicators blink red and green with data activity.
Red indicates a low RS-232 logic level, green indicates a high RS-232
logic level. Note: RS-232 devices idle in a
low
state, so the LED will
glow red if the connections are correct and the RS-232 device is in an
idle state.
5.1.2 The “RTS” and “CD” Indicators
The “RTS” and “CD” indicators are bi-color and will glow red for a
“low” signal or green for a “high” signal. RTS lights for an incoming
signal on RS-232 pin 4. CD lights for an incoming signal on the line
side, and the resulting output signal on RS-232 pin 8.
5.1.3 The “Test” Indicator
The green “Test” LED indicates that V.52 or V.54 tests are running.

5.1.4.2 Reading The Test
A. If line quality is good, “Error” LED on local modem will not light
and “CD” LED will be red. On remote modem “Error” LED will not light
and “CD” LED will light green.
B. If flat cable is used or parts of the line are flat cable, “Error” LED
on local modem will light red and “CD” LED will light green. On remote
modem “Error” LED will not light and “CD” LED will light green.
C. If one wire from the 4 wire twisted pair is broken “Error” LED will
light red and “CD” LED will light green on at least one modem.
Note: We cannot guarantee accurate detection if small pieces of flat
cable are present in the line beyond 1500ft of the local modem.
5.2 ANTI-STREAMING ERROR INDICATOR
When not in test mode (green “Test” LED is off), the front panel
“Error” LED is used to indicate a streaming error. When the Model
1080A Series’ anti-streaming circuitry is enabled, the RTS signal from
the DTE is timer controlled. The timer begins to count when the DTE
raises RTS. If the time period that RTS remains high exceeds the
preset time out period, the anti-stream circuit will force RTS low. The
“Error” LED will light red, indicating a streaming condition (RTS
continually on). This feature prevents a malfunctioning terminal from
tying-up a computer port in a multi-drop or polling environment. When
the DTE drops RTS, the anti-streaming timer is automatically reset and
the front panel “Error” LED turns off. The time out period is DIP switch
selectable for 12.5 or 50 seconds.
5.3 POWER-UP
Apply AC power to the Model 1080A Series by plugging the
separate AC power adapter first into the rear panel of the Model
1080A/1080A-64, and then into an acceptable AC power outlet. There
is no power switch on the Model 1080A/1080A-64; and the
remote/normal/loopback switch should be set to “normal”. When the
local and remote Model 1080A/1080A-64s are
both
powered up, and
passing data
normally
, the following LED conditions will exist:
• TD & RD = flashing red and green
• RTS & DCD = green
• TEST = off
21
5.4 V.54 TEST MODES
The Model Series offers two V.54 test modes to evaluate the
condition of the modems and the communication link. These tests can
be activated physically from the front panel, or via the RS-232 interface.
Note: V.54 test modes are available for point-to-point applications only.
5.4.1 Local Analog Loopback (LAL)
The Local Analog Loopback (LAL) test checks the operation of the
local Model 1080A Series unit, and is performed separately on each
unit. Any data sent to the local Model 1080A or 1080A-64 in this test
mode will be echoed (returned) back to the user device. For example,
characters typed on the keyboard of a terminal will appear on the
terminal screen. To perform a LAL test, follow these steps:
A. Activate LAL. This may be done in one of two ways: First, by
moving the front panel toggle switch DOWN to "Local". Second, by
raising pin 18 on the RS-232 interface (Note: Make sure DIP switch
S2-6 is OFF, and DIP switch S3-5 is ON). Once LAL is activated, the
Model 1080A Series’ transmit output is connected to its own receiver.
The "test" LED should be lit.
B. Verify that the data terminal equipment is operating properly and
can be used for a test. If a fault is indicated, call a technician or replace
the unit.
C. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on each unit. If the BER test
equipment indicates no faults, but the data terminal indicates a fault,
follow the manufacturer's checkout procedures for the data terminal.
Also, check the RS-232 interface cable between the terminal and the
Model 1080A/1080A-64.
5.4.2 Remote Digital Loopback (RDL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RDL) test checks the performance of
both the local and remote Model 1080A/1080A-64s,
and
the
communication link between them. Any characters sent to the remote
1080A or 1080A-64 in this test mode will be returned back to the
originating device. For example, characters typed on the keyboard of
the local terminal will appear on the local terminal screen
after
having
been passed to the remote Model 1080A/1080A-64 and looped back.
To perform an RDL test, follow these steps:
22
A. Activate RDL. This may be done in two ways: First, by moving
the front panel toggle switch UP to "Remote". Second, by raising pin 21
on the RS-232 interface (Note: Make sure DIP switch S3-6 is ON; and
DIP switch S2-6 is OFF).
B. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on the system.
C. If the BER test equipment indicates a fault, and the Local Analog
Loopback test was successful for both Model 1080A Series units, you
may have a problem with the twisted pair line between the modems.
You should then test the twisted pair line for proper connections and
continuity.
5.4.3 Using the V.52 BER Test Independently
The V.52 BER test can be used independently of the V.54 loopback
tests. This requires two operators: one to initiate and monitor the test
at the local 1080A/1080A-64, and one at the remote 1080A/1080A-64.
To use the V.52 BER test by itself, both operators should
simultaneously follow these steps:
1. Locate the “511/511E” toggle switch on the front panel of the unit
and move it UP. This activates the V.52 BER test mode and
transmits a “511” test pattern to the other unit. If any errors are
present, the receiving modem's red “ERROR” LED will blink
sporadically. Note: For this test to function, the “511” switch on
both 1080A Series units must be on.
2. If the test indicates no errors are present, move the V.52 toggle
switch DOWN, activating the “511/E” test with periodic errors
present. If the test is working properly, the receiving modem’s red
“ERROR” LED will blink
regularly
. A successful “511/E” test will
confirm that the link is in place, and that the Model 1080A Series’
built-in “511” generator and detector are working properly.
5.5 POWER-DOWN
Turn off the Model 1080A Series by simply unplugging the AC
power adapter from the wall. There is no power switch.

PATTON MODEL 1080A SERIES CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
All Patton Electronics Company Short Range Modems are tested to the
distances published in our Catalogs and Specification Sheets on twistedpair cable with the following characteristics:
W
ire Gauge Capacitance Resistance
19 AWG(.9mm) 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .0163Ω/ft.
22 AWG(.6mm) 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .0326Ω/ft.
24 AWG(.5mm) 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .05165Ω/ft.
26 AWG(.4mm) 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .08235Ω/ft.
We fully expect that the Short Range Modems will operate on lines with
specifications different from those tested, but to reduce the potential
difficulties in the field, one should ensure that the cable being used has
similar or better characteristics (lower capacitance or lower resistance).
Wire with capacitance of 20pF/ft. or less is suitable for all our Short
Range Modems however, distances may vary from those published in our
catalog. Resistance will also affect distance but not functionality. Wire
should be 26 AWG (.4mm) or larger (smaller AWG#).
Patton products are designed to withstand normal environmental noise
and conditions however, other environmental factors too numerous to
discuss in this format may affect proper operation of the SRM’s.
Selection of the proper SRM for an application is critical to maintaining
Customer Satisfaction and should be taken seriously. Certain models are
better suited for particular applications and environments than others.
