1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 1170M Series 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 1170M Series has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B 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 a 1170M Series unit does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more 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).

2.2 DESCRIPTION
There are three base models in the Patton Model 1170M Series of standards compliant Ethernet Fiber Modems (see Table 1) that convert and
extend the reach of copper Ethernet over multi-mode fiber.
• The Model 1170M converts 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX and extends
up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note
The Model 1172M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100
and 100Base-TX/100Base-FX network devices only; it is not
capable of connecting to 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices.
• The Model 1171M converts 10Base-T to 10Base-FL and extends up to
1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note
The Model 1171M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100
and 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices only; it is not capab le
of connecting to 100Base-TX/100Base-FX or SX network
devices.
• The Model 1172M auto-negotiates and converts 10Base-T/100BaseTX to 10Base-FL/100Base-FX and extends up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note
The Model 1172M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100,
10Base-T/10Base-FL, and 100Base-T/100Base-FX network
devices. The Model 1172M cannot connect a 10Base network
device on one side to a 100Base network device on the other.
If a 10Base network device is on one side of the Model 1172M,
there must be another 10Base or an auto-sensing 10/100 network device on the other. If a 100Base network device is on one
side of the Model 1172M, there must be another 100Base or an
auto-sensing 10/100 network device on the other.
The Model 1172M is the ideal product for customers who currently have
10Base-T networks and/or equipment and are planning to upgrade to
100Base-TX in the future. The Model 1172 provides a migration path
6
from 10Base-T/10Base-FL to 100Base-TX/100Base-FX, which eliminates the need to upgrade and lowers the overall cost of ownership.
All Patton 1170M Series models are packaged in an ultra-miniature
MicroPak chassis and feature power, fiber link and activity, and twistedpair link and activity LED indicators. The Model 1170M Series of Ethernet Fiber Modems can be ordered with ST or SC fiber optic connectors
and with 120VAC, 220VAC, universal interface (UI), -48 VDC, -24 VDC,
or -12 VDC power supply adapters. Power cord designations for
220 VAC and UI models must be specified at the time of purchase.

3.0 INSTALLATION
The following sections describe installing and configuring the Model
1170M Series of Ethernet Fiber Modems
3.1 INSTALLING A FIBER MODEM
Do the following to install the Model 1170M Series of Ethernet Fiber
Modems:
1. The MDI/MDI-X switch enables you to connect the 1170M models to
different types of network devices using a standard (straightthrough) network patch cable.
To connect the 1170M models to a terminal, transceiver, or network interface card (NIC), set the switch to the MDI-X (lefthand) position (see
Figure 1).
Otherwise, to connect to a hub or switch, set the s witch to the MDI (righthand) position (see Figure 1).
Figure 1.
MDI/MDI-X switch, Ethernet RJ-45 jack, and power jack locations

2. The Fiber Modem comes equipped with a shielded RJ-45 Jack for
Ethernet connections (see Figure 1 on page 8).
Connect the Ethernet RJ-45 jack to the appropriate 802.3 compliant
network equipment via a standard network patch cable (not provided). The pinout diagrams in Figure 2 reflect the pinouts of the
Ethernet RJ-45 jack when switched to MDI and MDI-X settings.
Note
Twisted-pair connections from the Ethernet RJ-45 Jack to the
network device should be 802.3 compliant (Category 5 STP or
UTP recommended) and must not exceed 100 meters (328
feet). Do not use flat or satin cable.

3. Connect the dual fiber ST or SC connectors on the Fiber Modem
(see Figure 3) directly to the 802.3 compliant multi-mode fiber cable
equipped with male ST or SC connectors or via 802.3 compliant
multi-mode fiber patch cord (not provided) and corresponding ST or
SC fiber wall jacks.
Note
Verify that the cable connecting the TX and RX of the 1170M
Series unit is connected to the RX and TX respectively on the
remote 1170M Series unit or network device. End-to-end multimode fiber connections between two Model 1170M Series
Ethernet Fiber Modems or between one Model 1170M Series
Fiber Modem and other network devices must not exceed 2 km
(1.24 miles), 298.7 m (980 ft) in 100Base-SX mode (Model
1172M only).
Figure 3.
Fiber connector locations
4. Connect the DC power output side of the power supply adapter to
the power jack (see Figure 1 on page 8) on the 1170M Series unit.
5. Connect the AC power side/cord of the power supply adapter to the
appropriate AC power source.
The Ethernet Fiber Modem will power up and LED indicators will illuminate once connected to the power source.

3.2 END-TO-END CONNECTION
Figure 4 shows an end-to-end connection between a personal computer/
terminal and Ethernet hub using two Patton Model 1170M Series Ethernet Fiber Modems and a multi-mode fiber connection.

4.0 OPERATION
Once you have installed the Model 1170M Series unit and have connected the External Power Supply Adapter to the appropriate power
source, the unit will power up automatically and is ready to operate.
4.1 LED INDICATORS
Once powered up, LED indicators located on the side of the Model 1170M
Series unit will illuminate to indicate the operating status of the unit.
