2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1180/35 uses an eight switch package that allow s configuration to a wide range of synchronous applications. Because all eight switches are externally accessible (see Figures 1 and 2, below), there is no need to open the Model 1180/35's case for configuration.

The Model 1180/35 Single Fiber V.35 Short Range Modem
accomplishes full duplex, point-to-point V.35 communication over a single multimode fiber. Supporting synchronous data rates up to 256 Kbps, the Model 1180/35 automatically adapts to hardware or software flow control, and can be set for internal, external or received recover clocking.
The Model 1180/35 features extended data rate circuitry that allows for single fiber distances up to 1.5 miles at data rates above 64 kbps, or 3 miles at data rates below 64 kbps. Both local and remote loopback tests can be activated from the front panel, or from the V.35 interface. The Model 1180/35 front panel incorporates LED indicators for TD, RD, RTS, CD and power.
Optical fiber may be connected to the Model 1180/35 using an ST or SMA type interface. The V.35 DTE interface on the Model 1180/35 is a female M/34 connector.

3.1 DETAILED SWITCH SETTINGS
The Model 1180/35’s configuration switches set data rate (distance), sync clock source, and DTE control of the RDL and LAL test modes. The table on the following page summarizes the default switch settings for the Model 1180/35. Following this table is a detailed description of each switch function.
Switches S1-1 though S1-4: Data Rate (Distance)
Switches S1-1 through S1-4 are set in combination to determine two configuration parameters: synchronous data rate and maximum distance. Maximum distance is determined by the space between data packets in the communication stream between two Model 1180/35s. The "2X" setting doubles the space between data packets, when compared with the normal "1X" setting, and therefore doubles the maximum distance. A setting of "2X" facilitates communication distances up to 3 miles, and is available at certain data rates up to 64 kbps. A setting of "1X" supports communication at the normal distance of 1.5 miles.

S1-7: DTE Control of RDL
The setting for switch S1-7 determines whether the V.35 DTE can activate the RDL test by raising pin L. If DTE Control of RDL is enabled, control from the front panel is disabled if there is no DTE
connected.
NOTE: If DTE control is not avialable, set Switch S1-7 to off.

control from the front panel is disabled if there is no DTE connected.
NOTE: If DTE control is not available, set Switch S1-8 to off.

4.0 INSTALLATION
5.0 OPERATION
The Model 1180/35 is easy to install. After configuring the DIP switches, simply connect the single fiber cable, hook up the V.35 interface, and plug the power supply adapter into the 1180/35. Figure 4 (below) shows the location of the interface connections on the Model 1180/35 rear panel.
Figure 4. Rear Panel of Model 1180/35 Showing Interface Connections
4.1 SINGLE FIBER CONNECTION
These short range modems are designed to work in pairs. You will need one at each end of single multi-mode fiber cable. Depending upon the data rate setting you select, your cable may be a maximum of
1.5 or 3 miles long. The fiber cable connects to each Model 1180/35 using either an ST or an SMA connector. Figure 5 (below) shows a close-up of both connector types.
Once you have configured each Model 1180/35 properly and
connected the fiber and V.35 cables, you are ready to operate the units. This section describes reading the LED status monitors, power-up, and using the built-in loopback test modes.
5.1 LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 1180/35 features six front panel status LEDs that indicate the condition of the modem and communication link. Figure 6 (below) shows the front panel location of each LED.
Figure 6. Front view of Model 1180/35
• The green "Power" LED glows if power is applied to the modem.
alignment pin faces down
Figure 5. Close-up of ST and SMA Connections
4.2 V.35 CONNECTION
The Model 1180/35 is configured as a DCE. Therefore it “wants” to DTE hardware such as a PC, host or terminal, using a straight through V.35 cable. Connecting the Model 1180/35 to DCE hardware such as a modem, multiplexer, or printer, requires a null modem V.35 cable. Contact Patton Technical Support at (301) 975-1007 for more information about constructing the appropriate null modem cable for your application.
• The green "Test Modes" LED indicates that the modem is in a test mode (local analog or remote digital).
• The "TD" and "RD" indicators blink red and green with data activity. Red indicates a low V.35 logic level, green indicates a high V.35 logic level. Note: V.35 devices idle in a low state, so the LED will glow red if the connections are correct and the V.35 device is in an idle state.
• The "RTS" and "CD" indicators are also tri-state and will glow red for a "low" signal or green for a "high" signal. RTS lights for an incoming signal on V.35 pin C. CD lights for an incoming signal on the line side, and the resulting output signal on V.35 pin F.
5.2 POWER-UP / SYNCHRONIZATION
To perform a local loopback test, follow these steps:
Apply AC power to the Model 1180/35 by plugging the separate AC power adapter first into the rear panel outlet of the Model 1180/35 and then into an acceptable AC power outlet. There is no power switch on the Model 1180/35: When the "power" LED is glowing steady, the Model 1180/35 is powered up. Note: be sure the front panel toggle
switch on both Model 1180/35s is set to NORMAL.
After both the local and remote 1180/35s are powered up, a synchronization process must occur between the two modems before a link can be established. Depending upon a number of factors, this synchronization process can take as long as 60 seconds. Any time one of the Model 1180/35s loses power (in a lightning storm, for example), the local and remote units must re-synchronize before they can resume data transmission. Note: If your application cannot tolerate a 60 second synchronization phase, turning the front panel "Test Modes"
switch to REMOTE and then back to NORMAL will synchronize the units within 250 mS.
When both Model 1180/35s are powered up and passing data normally, the following LED conditions will exist:
• PWR = green
• TD & RD = flashing red and green
• RTS & DCD = green
• TEST = off
5.3 LOOPBACK TEST MODES
The Model 1180/35 offers two loopback test modes to evaluate the condition of the modems and the communication link. These tests are activated from the front panel.
A. Activate local loopback by moving the front panel toggle switch
DOWN to "Local". Once local loopback is activated, the Model 1180/35 transmit output is connected to its own receiver. The "test" LED should glow. (Note: Even though the local Model 1180/35 cannot communicate with the remote Model 1180/35 in this mode, the synchronized connection between the two modems remains intact).
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 BERT (bit error rate) test on each unit. If the BERT test
equipment indicates no faults and the data terminal indicates a fault, follow the manufacturer's checkout procedures for the data terminal. Also check the V.35 interface cable between the terminal and the Model 1180/35.
5.3.2 REMOTE LOOPBACK
The remote loopback test checks the performance of the local and remote Model 1180/35s, and the communication link between them (see figure 7, on the following page). Any characters sent to the remote 1180/35 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 1180/35 and looped back. To perform a remote loopback test, follow these steps:
A. Activate remote loopback by moving the front panel toggle switch
UP to "Remote". The "test" LED should glow.
5.3.1 LOCAL LOOPBACK
The local loopback test checks the operation of the local Model 1180/35, and is performed separately on each unit. Any data sent to the local Model 1180/35 in this test mode will be echoed back to the user device. For example, characters typed on the keyboard of a terminal will appear on the terminal screen.
(continued)
B. Perform a BERT (bit error rate) test on the system. C. If the BERT test equipment indicates a fault, and the local
loopback test was successful for both Model 1180/35s, there may be a problem with the fiber communication line connecting the modems. You should test the fiber line for proper connections and continuity.
