3.0 CONFIGURATION
Before you can install and operate your Model 2500RC Series
CSU/DSU, you must configure both the front and rear cards. The
Model 2500RC Series has two sets of eight switches (S1 and S2), a
reversible interface driver board and two Rotary Address switches
(MSD and LSD). The 2500RC also has software switches which may
be configured with the Patton Model 1000CC control card (not
supplied), using a VT-100 type RS-232 terminal. Rear card
configuration is accomplished by means of hardware straps.
3.1 FRONT CARD CONFIGURATION - HARDWARE SWITCHES
The Model 2500RC Series front card defaults

3.1.4 Setting Rotary Address Switches
If you plan to use the software control port to configure or dial the
Model 2500RC Series unit, you will need to configure each front card
with a unique address. This is done by using a small screw driver to
set the two rotary switches, as shown in Figure 4, below. The switches
are set individually for a number from 0 - 9, forming a two digit address
(00 - 98). Software commands set to a particular address will be
recognized by the card with that address, and ignored by other cards.
Note: Address “99” is universal. All units respond to address “99”
no matter how the rotary switches are set.

3.2 FRONT CARD CONFIGURATION - SOFTWARE SWITCHES
The Model 2500RC Series has an internal control port that allows
software configuration. Control port signals are carried to each card in
the rack along the power bus board inside the rack chassis. Access to
all rack card control ports is provided by a single Patton Model 1000CC
control card. For instructions on installation and use of the Model
1000CC, please refer to the Model 1000CC User Manual.
3.2.1 Accessing the Software Control Port
Once you have set each Model 2500RC’s address (see Section
3.1.4), plugged each front card into the rack chassis (see Section 4.0),
and properly installed the Model 1000CC control card (see Model
1000CC User Manual), you are ready to access the Model 2500RC
Series Main Menu. Follow these steps:
1. Connect the serial RS-232C port of a VT100 terminal (or
similar RS-232 DTE with terminal emulation) to the EIA-561
control port on the Model 1000CC control card.

followed by [RETURN]. (Note: You can also exit by just
pressing [RETURN]. However, doing this in the Store Phone
Number Menu will clear the buffer of the currently stored
number.)
3.2.3 Verifying Software Switch Control
In order to use software switches for configuration, it is necessary
to disable the hardware switch settings. To do this, use the following
procedure (Note: If this procedure is omitted, your software
configurations will be overridden by the hardware switch settings):
1. On the Main Menu (opposite page), choose item 1, “Select
Hardware/Software Switch Control”. The following screen will
appear:
2. In the Hardware/Software Control Menu, select item 2 to
enable software switch control.
3. The Main Menu will automatically reappear after your selection
is entered.
3.2.4 Setting Software Switch Parameters
From the Main Menu, selecting item 3, “Set Software Switch
Parameters” will take you to the Software Switch Menu (below). From
this screen, you can soft configure the 2500RC parameters.
15 16
For each screen described below, selecting a numbered option and
pressing [RETURN] stores that option setting and returns you to the
Software Switch Menu (Note: All lettered options must be entered in
lower case)
Line Rate
Choosing option 1 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
Line Rate Menu (below). This option controls the signaling rate on the
line. Set it to match the speed of your digital service. For line rates of
56 or 64 Kbps, it is possible to operate the DTE interface at a lower
rate. To do this , set the line rate to 56 or 64 Kbps. Then set the DTE
Speed as required (Software Switch Menu option 7).
Circuit Assurance
Choosing option 2 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
Circuit Assurance Menu (below). On dedicated (DDS) circuits, the
transmitter and the CTS output can be configured to go ON only when
a working communication circuit is established. If you use Circuit
Assurance with DDS services, enable it on only one end of the
communication link. For Switched-56 service, enable Circuit Assurance
on both ends of the circuit. When Circuit Assurance is disabled, the
transmitter and CTS operate without regard to the receiver state.
Force RTS
Choosing option 3 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
RTS Menu (below). The RTS input can be forced ON, ignoring the RTS
signal from the DTE. When RTS is forced ON, the transmitter is always
enabled and the user may send data. On a Model 2510RC or 2520RC,
RTS should be forced ON for Switched-56 operation.
NOTE: When the Line Rate (Software Switch Menu option 1) is 64
Kbps, RTS is always forced ON, regardless of the Force RTS
switch setting.
Character Length
Choosing option 4 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
Character Length Menu (below). In asynchronous data format, the
Model 2500RC Series supports 10-bit and 11-bit character lengths. Set
this option according to the characteristics of the data being
transmitted.
17 18
DTE Data Format
Choosing option 5 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
Data Format Menu (below). This option controls whether an async-tosync conversion is performed between the DTE and the Model 2500RC
Series. (Data is always transferred synchronously between two Model
2500RC Series units.) For an
asynchronous data format
asynchronous
1,2
; for a
synchronous
DTE, select the
DTE, select the
synchronous data format.
1
NOTE
: The async rate of 57.6 kbps is supported at the 56 kbps
line rate, provided the DTE equipment is configured to transmit two
stop bits. The extra stop bit reduces the DTE’s effective data rate
to allow synchronization with the 56 kbps line speed.
Set the
Model 2500RC Series for two stop bits by selecting “11 bit
character length” in the Character Length Menu.
NOTE2: You can use the Model 2500RC Series to transmit lowerspeed asynchronous data (up to 9.6 Kbps) over synchronous
circuits by simple over-sampling. To do this, select the
synchronous data format and set the line Line Rate (Software
Switch Menu option 1) to at least four times that asynchronous
data rate you wish to send. For example, use a Line Rate of 9.6
Kbps or higher for 2.4 Kbps async data.
DSR Status During Local Loopback
Choosing option 6 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
DSR Loop Status Menu (below). This option controls the behavior of
the DSR output during local loopback. To force DSR high (ON) during
local loopback, enable this option. To force DSR low (OFF) during a
local loopback, disable it.
Rate Converter/DTE Rate
Choosing option 7 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
Rate Adapter/DTE Rate Menu (opposite page). The Model 2500RC
Series rate converter adapts a 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps line rate to slower
DTE data rates. Set the Rate Converter to match the DTE data rate. If
the DTE data rate is the same as the line rate, disable rate conversion
by selecting item 6 on this menu.
(continued)
19 20
NOTE: For DTE data rates of 56 kbps or 64 kbps, set the rate
adapter to “Line Rate = DTE Rate”, and set the Line Rate to 56 or
64 kbps, respectively. For DTE rate of 57.6 kbps, set rate adapter
to “Line Rate = DTE Rate”, set line rate to 56 kbps, set DTE for two
stop bits, and set CSU/DSU character length to “11 bits”.
DTE Loop Control
Choosing option 8 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
DTE Loop Control Menu (below). The local and remote loopbacks on
the Model 2500RC Series can be controlled from the DTE interface by
raising or lowering the LL and RL signals. To allow the DTE to control
these loopbacks in this manner, enable this option. Disable if you want
the Model 2500RC Series to ignore these signals.
Clock Mode
Choosing option 9 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
Clock Mode Menu (below).
Set this option as follows:
• Internal (Master): To use the Model 2500RC and 2520RC internal
reference clock as the timing source, select item 1. Use internal timing
in point-to-point applications where the Model 2500RC Series is being
used as a limited distance modem. (Set the far-end Model 2500RC
Series unit for looped timing as described below.)
• Network (Looped): To have the Model 2500RC Series derive a
transmit clock from the incoming data stream from the network, select
item 2. This is the default setting and appropriate for most applications.
(Models 2500RC and 2520RC only)
• External (Terminal Timing): To have the Model 2500RC Series use
the DTE-supplied transmit clock (pin 24 on and RS-232/V.24 interface
or pins U and W on a V.35 interface), select item 3. Use external timing
for tail-circuit applications, in which the RS-232 or V.35 ports of two
Model 2500RC Series units are interconnected.
• Switched 56 (Model 2510RC and 2520RC only): When using a
Model 2510RC or 2520RC with Switched 56 service, select item 4.
Anti-Streaming Timer
Choosing option “a” (options “a” through “e” must be entered in
lower-case letters) in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Anti
Stream Timer Menu (below). This option lets you enable or disable the
anti-streaming timer, which protects multidrop networks from a drop that
is continuously transmitting. If the DTE asserts RTS for a period of time
exceeding the timer interface, the timer forces RTS off internally. This
allows the rest of the multidrop network to resume operation. The
Model 2500RC Series holds RTS off until the terminal drops RTS. The
timer interval decreases as the line rate increases.
21
RTS/CTS Delay
Choosing option “b “ in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
RTS/CTS Delay Menu (below). This option lets you set the RTS/CTS
turn-on delay to Normal or Extended. The delay interval decreases as
the line rate increases.

3.3 REAR CARD CONFIGURATION
The Model 2500RC Series has two interface card options: the
Model 1000RCM12548 (DB-25/RJ-48S) and the Model
1000RCM13448 (M/34/RJ-48S). Each of these options supports one
interface connection and one 4-wire connection. Figure 5 (below)
illustrates the two different interface options for the Model 2500RC
Series.

Prior to installation, you will need to examine the rear card you
have selected and make sure it is properly configured for your
application. Each rear card is configured by setting straps located on
the PC board. To configure the rear cards, you must set the
configuration straps. Figure 6 (below) shows the orientation of these
straps. Each strap can either be on pegs 1 and 2, or on pegs 2 and 3.
Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 describe the strap locations and possible
settings for each rear card.

4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the functions of the Model 1000R16 rack
chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 2500RC Series cards
into the chassis, and provides diagrams for wiring the interface
connections correctly.
4.1 THE MODEL 1000R16 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1000R16 Rack Chassis (Figure 9, below) has sixteen
short range modem card slots, plus its own power supply. Measuring
only 3.5” high, the Model 1000R16 is designed to occupy only 2U in a
19” rack. Sturdy front handles allow the Model 1000R16 to be
extracted and transported conveniently.
Figure 9. Model 1000R16 Rack Chassis with power supply
4.1.1 The Rack Power Supply
The power supply included in the Model 1000R16 rack uses the
same mid-plane architecture as the modem cards. The front card of
the power supply slides in from the front, and the rear card slides in
from the rear. They plug into one another in the middle of the rack.
The front card is then secured by thumb screws and the rear card by
conventional metal screws.
WARNING! There are no user-serviceable parts in the
power supply section of the Model 2500RC Series.
Voltage setting changes and fuse replacement should only
be performed by qualified service personnel. Contact
Patton Electronics Technical support at (301)975-1007 for
more information.

4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 2500RC SERIES INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 2500RC Series is comprised of a front card and a rear
card. The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each
other by way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following
steps as a guideline for installing each Model 2500RC Series into the
rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal
rails provided.
2. Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.
3. Slide the card into the front of the chassis. It should meet the
rear card when it’s almost all the way into the chassis.
4. Push the front card
rear card. It should “click” into place.
5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
NOTE: Since the Model 1000R16 chassis allows “hot
swapping” of cards, it is

5.0 OPERATION
Once the Model 2500RC Series unit is installed and configured
properly it is ready to operate. This section describes the function of
the LED indicators, the status displays, the use of loopback test modes,
and Switched 56 dialing procedures (Models 2510RC and 2520RC
only).
5.1 LED DESCRIPTIONS
The Model 2500RC Series is equipped with nine LED indicators that
monitor the status of communication. Figure 12 (below) shows the
location of the LEDs on the Model 2500RC Series front panel. Note
also the location of the test mode switches and RS-232 control port
(used in Switched 56 dialing as well as software configuration).
Following Figure 12 is a description of each LED’s function.
• “TD” and “RD” will glow red to indicate an Idle condition or
Binary “1” data on the respective terminal interface signals.
Green indicates Binary “0” data.

• “CTS” will glow green to indicate an On condition. When on,
the unit is ready to send data. If CTS remains off, check the
Forced RTS, Circuit Assurance and Anti-Stream settings.
• “CD” will glow green to indicate that a valid carrier is present.
If CD is not lit, there is no valid carrier signal detected.
• “DTR” will glow green to indicate that the DTR signal from the
terminal is active.
• “NS” will glow red to indicate No Signal. This means the
Model 2500RC Series receiver does not detect a signal from
the digital service provider (or, in the case of short-haul
operation, from the remote Model 2500RC Series). If NS is lit,
check for an unplugged cable, broken wire or an incorrect Line
Rate selection.
• “OS” glows red to indicate Out-of-Service. This means the
Model 2500RC Series has received an Out-of-Service signal
from the digital service provider and indicates a problem with
the service provider’s equipment. If this condition persists,
contact your service provider.
• “ER” glows red to indicate that an Error has been detected in
the received signal. ER will flash if the Model 2500RC Series
receives illegal bi-polar violations or framing errors. During the
511 or 511/E test, ER will flash to indicate that the Test Pattern
Detector has detected a bit error.
• “TM” glows red to indicate Test Mode. It will light if the unit is
placed into a test mode. The unit can be placed in test mode
by the local user, by the remote user or by the service
provider.
5.2 STATUS DISPLAYS
The Model 2500RC Series lets you use a VT-100 type RS-232
terminal to display the current configuration settings, as well as the
line/loop status.
Important: Please be sure you have read Section 3.2, and the Model
1000CC User Manual before attempting to implement the instructions
in the remainder of Section 5.2.

5.3 LOOPBACK TEST MODES
The Model 2500RC Series offers three loopback tests to evaluate
the condition of the CSU/DSUs and the communication link: local
analog loopback, remote digital loopback and telco loopback (C.O.
Loopback).
5.3.1 Local Analog Loopback (LAL)
The Local Analog Loopback (LAL) test checks the operation of the
local Model 2500RC Series. Any data sent to the local Model 2500RC
Series 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 (see Figure 11, below).
CSU/DSU
Figure 11. Local analog loop
31 32
LAL Test Activation
The LAL test may be activated in one of three ways:
1. Toggle the front panel “Local/Normal/Remote” switch to the
right hand side to the “Local” position.
2. Activate the LL lead from the DTE (Note: in order to use this
option, the DTE Loop Control option must be enabled–see
Section 3.2.4). If you are not sure which pin is the LL lead,
please refer to the pinout diagrams in Appendix D.
3 From a terminal, first go to the Main Menu and select item 3 to
display the Software Switch Menu (Section 3.2.4) In the
Software Switch Menu, select item “e” to go to the Local Line
Loop Menu (see below). To activate LAL, select item 1.
LAL Test Procedure
Once LAL is activated, the Model 2500RC Series transmit output is
connected to its own receiver. The “Test” LED should be lit. Follow
these steps to complete the test:
1. 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.
2. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on each unit using a
separate BER tester (The Model 2500RC Series has a built-in
BER tester–see Section 5.4). 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 interface cable between the terminal and the
Model 2500RC Series.
5.3.2 Remote Digital Loopback (RDL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RDL) test checks the performance of
and
both the local and remote Model 2500RC Series',
the
communication link between them. Any characters sent to the remote
Model 2500RC Series 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 2500RC Series and looped back
(see Figure 12, below).
CSU/DSU
Digital Network
Figure 12. Remote digital loop
RDL Test Activation
The RDL test may be activated in one of three ways:
1) Toggle the front panel “Local/Normal/Remote” switch to the left
hand side to the “Remote” position.
2) Activate the RL lead from the DTE (Note: in order to use this
option, the DTE Loop Control option must be enabled–see
Section 3.2.4). If you are not sure which pin is the RL lead, please
refer to the pinout diagrams in Appendix D.
3) From a terminal, first go to the Main Menu and select item 3 to
display the Software Switch Menu (Section 3.2.4) In the
Software Switch Menu, select item “d” to go to the Set
Remote Digital Loop Menu (see below). To activate RDL, select
item 1.
33 34
RDL Test Procedure
Once LAL is activated, the “Test” LED should be lit. Perform a BER
(bit error rate) test on the system, using BER testers on both ends. If
the BER test equipment indicates a fault and the Local Analog
Loopback test was successful for both Model 2500RC Series units, you
may have a problem with the line between the CSU/DSUs. You should
inspect the line for proper connections.
5.3.3 Telco Testing
The digital service provider’s central office can perform CSU Loop
and DSU Loop diagnostic testing. These diagnostics allow the central
office to evaluate circuit operation without making visits to a customer’s
premises.
CSU Loop
The CSU Loop is activated when the central office reverses the DC
sealing current that flows between the TX pair and the RX pair. In this
case, the Model 2500RC Series recognizes this and loops signals on
the RX pair back to the central office on the TX pair (see Figure 13,
below). While the CSU Loop is activated by the central office, the TM
light is illuminated.
CSUDSU Digital Network
Figure 13. CSU loop
DSU Loop
The DSU Loop is activated when the central office sends a DSU
loop signal over the twisted pair wire. The Model 2500RC Series
senses this signal and loops the digital data back to the central office
(see Figure 14, below). While the DSU Loop is activated, the TM light
is illuminated.
CSUDSU
Figure 14. DSU loop
Digital Network
5.4 THE V.52 BER TEST PATTERN GENERATOR
The Model 2500RC Series has a built-in test pattern generator and
detector. It can be invoked at both ends of a link simultaneously (using
two operators) or it can be invoked in conjunction with the LAL or RDL
tests (using one operator). The following example requires two
operators–one to initiate and monitor the test at the local Model
2500RC Series, and one at the remote Model 2500RC Series. 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
Model 2500RC Series and move it to the left hand side (see
Note 1). This activates the V.52 BER test mode and transmits
a “511” pseudorandom test pattern to the other unit. If any
errors are received, the receiving CSU/DSU’s red “Error” LED
will blink sporadically (see Notes 1 & 2, below).
2. If the test indicates no errors are present, move the V.52
toggle switch to the right hand side, activating the “511/E” test
(see Note 2). The 511/E test transmits the 511 pseudorandom
test pattern and injects intentional errors about once per
second. If the test is working properly, the receiving
CSU/DSU’s red “Error” LED will blink
regularly
. A successful
“511/E” test will confirm that the link is in place, and that the
Model 2500RC Series’ built-in “511” generator and detector
are working properly.
1
NOTE
: The 511 BER pattern can also be activated using the
software control port. Follow these steps: From a terminal, first go
to the Main Menu and select item 3 to display the Software Switch
Menu (Section 3.2.4) In the Software Switch Menu, select item “c”
to go to the Send 511 Pattern Menu (see below). To send a 511
pattern, select item 1.
2
: Control Port activation of the “511E” pattern is not
NOTE
possible. The “511E” pattern may only be activated using the front
panel toggle switch.

5.5 SWITCHED 56 DIALING COMMANDS (MODELS 2510RC &
2520RC)
CAUTION! For proper Switched 56 operation, you must enable
the Circuit Assurance and Force RTS options as described in
Section 4.0. Failure to do so may prevent the Model 2500RC
Series unit from answering incoming Switched 56 calls.
To access the Switched 56 dialing capabilities of the Mode 2500RC
Series, go to the Main Menu (see Section 3.2.4) and select item 5, “Set
Switched 56 Dialing Parameters”. This will take you to the Switched 56
Menu (see below). The following paragraphs describe the commands
in the Switched 56 Menu.
Store Phone Number (Enable DTR Dialing)
Selecting item 1 in the Dial Menu lets you activate the Model
2500RC Series’ “DTR Dialing” feature by storing a phone number in the
unit’s non-volatile memory. The Model 2500RC Series automatically
dials this number when the DTE raises the DTR lead. When you issue
this command, the Model 2500RC Series responds with this prompt:
Enter up to 12 digits (without hyphens or other alphabetic characters),
followed by [RETURN]. For example: “13015551212.”
CAUTION! Pressing [RETURN] by itself will erase any
previously stored number from the unit’s non-volatile memory
and cannot be undone. This will also disable DTR dialing.
NOTE: To disable DTR dialing, press [RETURN] (and nothing
else) when asked to enter the number to be stored.
Read Stored Number
Selecting item 2 in the Dial Menu lets you view the phone number
currently stored in the Model 2500RC Series non-volatile memory.
Dial New Number
Selecting item 3 in the Dial Menu lets you dial a number other than
the one stored in non-volatile memory. When you select this menu
item, the Model 2500RC Series responds with this prompt:
Enter up to 12 digits (without hyphens or other alphabetic characters),
followed by [RETURN]. For example: “13015551212.”
After dialing the number, the Model 2500RC Series will display the
message, “Dialing” and then display each number as it is dialed. The
Model 2500RC Series will then prompt the user to wait while the
connection is made. One of the following messages will then be
displayed to indicate the success or failure or the connection:
• CONNECT: The called unit has answered.
• NO WINK: The central office did not send a wink signal
within 5 seconds of line seizure.
• SHORT WINK: A wink signal less than 120 milliseconds
was received.
• LONG WINK: A wink signal greater than 320 milliseconds
was received.
• NO CARRIER: The called unit did not answer within 30
seconds.
• DTR OFF: DTR must be on to dial.
• OFF HOOK: The Model 2500RC Series is already off-hook
and in data mode.
NOTE: The control port will not respond to additional commands
until one of the above response messages is issued.
Hang Up
Selecting item 4 in the Dial Menu terminates the call.
