The Model 2065/66RC 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 2065/66RC
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 2065/66RC does cause interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the power off
or disconnecting the unit, 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).

If the user detects intermittent or continuous product malfunction
due to nearby high power transmitting radio frequency equipment, the
user is advised to use data cables with an external outer shield bonded
to a metal or metalized connector, and to configure the rear card as
shown in Section 3.3 in this manual.

1.2 CE NOTICE

The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates
that it is in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
directive and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the Union European
(EU). A Certificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical
Support.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 2065/66RC Interface Converter Rack Card lets

an X.21 DCE to communicate bi-directionally with an RS-232/V.35 DCE
or DTE. Operating synchronously, full or half duplex, the Model
2065/66RC is protocol independent and incorporates two 16-bit elastic
buffers. For extra flexibility, the Model 2065/66RC is DTE/DCE
switchable on the RS-232/V.35 interface (the X.21 interface is
configured as a DTE). Clocking is supplied by the X.21 DCE device.

This interface converter is available in two versions: The Model
2065RC converts from X.21 to RS-232, and supports sync data rates to
128 kbps. The Model 2066RC converts from X.21 to V.35 and
supports sync data rates to 2.048 Mbps. Both versions use Patton’s
mid-plane architecture and are equipped with dual UD-26 connectors
on the rear interface card (adapter cables are available from Patton
Electronics).

The Model 2065/66RC is designed to mount in Patton’s 2U high
19” rack chassis and 2/4/8 slot Cluster Boxes. Available power
supplies include 120/230V AC and 48/24/12V DC. The Model
2065/66RC is made in the USA.

3.1 FRONT CARD CONFIGURATION

The Model 2065/66RC front card uses a single four-position DIP
switch (S1), plus a DCE/DTE strap, to configure the unit for a wide
range of applications. Figure 1 (below) shows the location of switch set
S1 and the DCE/DTE strap on the Model 2065/66RC front card. Figure
2 (below) shows the orientation of DIP switch set S1.
