3.0 CONFIGURATION
This section describes how to configure the IM2RC/F rear card.
Please refer to the appropriate function card user manual to configure
the function card.
WARNING!The IM2RC/F card contains sensitive
integrated circuitry. Failure to ground yourself during
configuration may result in damage to the IM2RC/F card or
the front function card.
3.1 CONFIGURING THE IM2RC/F HARDWARE SWITCHES
The Model IM2RC/F rear card features an eight position DIP switch
mounted on the rear of the printed circuit board. Use these switches to
configure G.703 operational and timing modes. Figure 1, below shows
the position of the DIP switches on the board.

Switch S2: Operation Mode
Use Switch S2 to set the IM2RC/F for either Clear Channel or
Octet Timing Mode. Most installations use Clear Channel (64kbps)
Mode operation, though some installations may use Octet Timing
Mode.
When operating in octet timing mode, the IM2RC/F facilitates a
sense of frame synchronization by inserting bi-polar violations in the
AMI conding structure. When the IM2RC/F is set to Octet Timing Mode
(On position), all communications equipment in the channel must be
configured to communicate at 128 kbps (64 kbps data plus 64 kbps
octet framing pattern) Additionally, all terminal equipment must support
octet timing. When set to Clear Channel Mode, the system operates at
64 kbps.

Switches S3 Timing Mode
3.2 CONNECTING THE INTERFACE DRIVER BOARD
The setting of Switch S3 determines the source of the system timing.
The system timing may be provided by:
1. The G.703 network;
2. The local function card or remote baseband
modem/CSU/DSU (either a rackable function card or standalone unit).
Set Switch S3 to “Network” timing when only one of the two
connected baseband modems or CSU/DSUs employ a 64k/G.703
interface card (the “other” baseband modem connects to a V.35, EIA-
232, etc device).
Set Switch S3 to “Modem” timing when both of the connected
baseband modems or CSU/DSUs employ a 64k/G.703 interface card.
In this application, one G.703 interface card must be set to “Modem”
timing, and the other must be set to “Network” Timing. (Please refer to
the baseband modem or CSU/DSU user manual for additional
configuration details).
Switches S4 and S5: Reserved for Future Use
Switches S4 and S5 are reserved for future use and should remain
in the Off position.
This package contains an interface driver board that allows you to
configure your front function card for G.703 operation. Figure 3 shows
the Interface Driver Board connected to a Model 1092ARC front
function card (You may also use this product with other Patton rack
cards, such as Model 2500RC, 1045RC or 1092RC).

4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the functions of the Model 1000R16 rack
chassis, tells how to install the rear-mounted Model IM2RC/F card into
the chassis, and how to connect to the G.703 PCM network, and to the
twisted pair line interface. Please refer to the appropriate function card
user manual for further details.
NOTE: Please refer to the Model 1000RP Series User Manual AC
and DC Rack Mount Power Supplies for fuse and power card
replacement information.
4.2INSTALLING THE REAR IM2RC/F CARD AND FRONT
FUNCTION CARD
4.1 THE MODEL 1000R16 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1000R16 Rack Chassis (Figure 4, below) has sixteen
baseband 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 4: 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 function cards. The front function
card and the power supply slide in from the front, while the rear card
and power entry modules slide 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.
The Model IM2RC/F is a rear-mountable G.703 interface card that
works with Patton function card access products that support 64k/128k
synchronous data rates. 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 IM2RC/F and its function card mate into the rack chassis:
WARNING!The IM2RC/F card contains sensitive
integrated circuitry. Failure to ground yourself during
installation may result in damage to the IM2RC/F card or
the front function card.
1. Slide the IM2RC/F rear card into the back of the chassis along
the metal rails provided.
2. Secure the IM2RC/F rear card using the metal screws
provided.
3. Slide the front function card into the front of the chassis. It
should meet the IM2RC/F rear card when it is almost all the
way into the chassis.
4. Push the front card gentlyinto the card-edge receptacle of the
rear card. It should “click” into place.
5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
WARNING!There are no user-serviceable parts in the
power supply section.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.

4.3 MAKING INTERFACE CONNECTIONS
4.3.2 CONNECTING THE LINE INTERFACE
The Model IM2RC/F is designed to provide access to a 64 kbps
co-directional G.703 PCM network. Figure 5 shows the position of the
G.703 interface and the line interface of the IM2RC/F. This section
describes how to connect the G.703 interface and the line interface.
Notice!The G.703 line surge protection on this unit was
installed for circuit protection only. By no means does this
include the preservation of signal quality during a large surge.

Figure 5: Model IM2RC/F Interface Ports
4.3.1 CONNECTING TO A G.703 PCM NETWORK CHANNEL
The 120 Ohm RJ-45 port on a Model IM2RC/F is pre-wired for
direct connection to the G.703 PCM network. Connect the RJ-45 jack
provided by your digital service carrier to the 120 Ohm G.703 interface
on the Model IM2RC/F using a straight through twisted pair cable
between 19 and 26 AWG (0.4mm to .9mm, inversely). To be sure you
have the right wiring, refer to Figure 6, below.
The Model IM2RC/F is to be used with Patton function card access
products (i.e. 1045RC, 1092RC, 1092ARC, 2500RC) that support
64k/128k synchronous data rates. There are two essential
requirements for connecting the line interface on Model IM2RC/F:
1. These units work in pairs. Both units at the end of the twisted
pair must have the proper 2-Wire/4-Wire setting. For
instance, if you are operating in 2-Wire mode, both units must
be in the 2-Wire setting. Similarly, if you are operating in 4Wire mode, both units must be in the 4-Wire setting. NOTE:
Currently only the 1092 and 1092A families support 2-Wire
Mode.
2. To function properly, the Model IM2RC/F needs one or two
twistedpairs of metallic wire. The twisted pairs must be
unconditioned, dry, metallic wire, between 19 (.9mm) and 26
AWG (.4mm) (Appendix B describes cable requirements) .
Standard dial-up telephone circuits, or leased circuits that run
through signal equalization equipment, or standard, flat
modular telephone type cable, are not acceptable. Figure 7,
below, shows the pin/signal relationships of the Line Interface
Port.

5.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to operate, the Model IM2RC/F must be installed in the
rear of a Patton 16 port rack or a 2, 4, or 8 port ClusterBox™ chassis.
A front function card, such as a baseband modem, CSU/DSU, or HDSL
modem meets the IM2RC/F rear card in the mid-plane of the chassis.
The IM2RC/F also requires a G.703 connection to the 64 kbps codirectional PCM networkand a line connection to a remote Patton
transmssion device. After applying power, the function card and
IM2RC/F operate transparently according to the applied settings
(Please refer to the function card manual for further details).

All Patton Electronics Company Baseband Modems, CSU/DSUs
and Short Range Modem are tested to the distances published in our
Catalogs and Specification Sheets on twisted-pair cable with the
following characteristics:
Wire GaugeCapacitanceResistance
19 AWG 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .0163Ω/ft.
22 AWG 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .0326Ω/ft.
24 AWG 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .05165Ω/ft.
26 AWG 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft. .08235Ω/ft.
We fully expect that the Baseband Modems, CSU/DSUs and 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 Baseband
Modems, CSU/DSUs and 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 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.
Selection of the proper Baseband Modem, CSU/DSU or SRM for an
application is critical to maintaining Customer Satisfaction and must be
taken seriously. Certain models are better suited for particular
applications and environments than others.
