This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and
does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modification.
If this product fails or does not perform as warranted, your sole
recourse shall be repair or replacement as described above. Under no
condition shall Patton Electronics be liable for any damages incurred
by the use of this product. These damages include, but are not limited
to, the following: lost profits, lost savings and incidental or
consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use this
product. Patton Electronics specifically disclaims all other warranties,
expressed or implied, and the installation or use of this product shall be
deemed an acceptance of these terms by the user.

1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 1060RC 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 1060RC 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
1060RC does cause interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the power off or removing the card, 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). In the event the
user detects intermittent or continuous product malfunction due to
nearby high power transmitting radio frequency equipment, the user is
strongly advised to take the following steps: use only data cables with
an external outer shield bonded to a metal or metalized connector; and,
configure the rear card as shown in section 3.4 of 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 Model 1060RC Asynchronous Short Range Modem Rack

Card operates full duplex over two unconditioned twisted pair.

Supporting data rates to 57.6 kbps, the Model 1060RC has a maximum
range of 14 miles (22.5 km) (at 1200 bps over 19 AWG wire). The
Model 1060RC passes one control signal in each direction, and
features both optical isolation and Silicon Avalanche Diode surge
protection on the data line side.

The Model 1060RC is designed to mount in Patton's 2U high 19"
rack chassis. This 16 card chassis has a switchable 120/240 volt
power supply and mounts cards in a mid-plane architecture: The front
"brains" card can be plugged into different rear "interface" cards. This
means that the 1060RC can have several interface options, and can be
switched with other Patton short haul cards.

The Model 1060RC has two built-in diagnostic tools: local and
remote loopback test. Additionally, bi-level LEDs on the 1060RC's front
panel allow you to visually monitor communication.

3.0 CONFIGURATION

This section describes the location and orientation of the Model
1060RC's configuration switches and provides detailed instructions on
setting each of the switches.

3.1 FRONT CARD CONFIGURATION

The Model 1060RC uses a set of eight DIP switches that allow
configuration to a wide range of asynchronous applications. These DIP
switches are accessible when the card is slid out of the rack chassis
(see Figure 1, below). Once configured, the Model 1060RC is
designed to operate transparently, without need for frequent re­configuration.

(SW1-1 on top)

The eight DIP switches on the Model 1060RC board allow you to
specify control signal pin assignments and carrier control method.

to "ON" and "OFF" positions.

3.2 "QUICK SET-UP" INSTRUCTIONS

In the majority of applications, you will not need an in-depth
knowledge of the Model 1060RC's capabilities to get up and running.
The following "quick set-up" DIP switch configurations cover most
Model 1060RC operating environments.

3.2.1 Point-to-Point Applications

If you are installing these units in a point-to-point application with a
computer, printer or terminal, configure the DIP switches on both Model
1060s as follows:

Number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Switch
Positions ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF

3.2.2 Multi-Point Applications

If you are installing these units in a multipoint application, configure
the DIP switches for master and slave units as follows:

Number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Master positions ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF
Slave positions ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF ON

3.3 SPECIAL CONFIGURATION

If your installation requires special configuration of the Model
1060RC, use the table below as a guide. This table shows all possible
Model 1060RC switch settings. Following the table are brief
descriptions of the Control Input, Control Output, +Voltage Output and
Carrier Controlled by (C

Control Input (Cin):

The Control Input signal is used by the local Model 1060RC as an
input signal to “turn on” (in the “Enabled” settings) and allow data
transmission to the remote device. This is required for half-duplex/
switched-carrier environments as well as in hardware flow control
applications. In the “Disabled” settings, the 1060RC is always “turned
on” and sends a continuous carrier to the remote 1060RC.

Control Output (C

out

):

The Control Output signal is transmitted by the local Model
1060RC to its attached DTE device. This signal should be the same
logic state as the Control Input signal on the remote 1060RC. This
signal is required in half-duplex/switched carrier environments or in
hardware flow control applications.

+Voltage Output (+V

out

):

The +Voltage Output signal is a constant positive voltage that is
sent from the 1060RC to its attached DTE device.

Carrier Controlled by (C

):

in

When Carrier Controlled by Control Input is “Enabled”, the Model
1060RC is “turned on” by the corresponding C

Signal from the DTE.

in

In effect, the Control Input signal on the local 1060RC "controls" the
presence of "carrier" and the Control Output signal on the remote
1060RC. This setting is required in half-duplex/switched carrier
environments or in hardware flow control applications. When Carrier
Control by Control Input is “Disabled”, the 1060RC sends a continuous
carrier and is always “turned on”.

3.4 REAR CARD CONFIGURATION

The 1060RC has four interface card options: DB-25/RJ-11,
DB-25/RJ-45, RJ-45/RJ-11 and dual RJ-45. Each of these options
supports one RS-232 connection and one 4-wire connection (the RS­232 port is always the

lower

port on the interface card). Figure 4
(below) illustrates the four different interface options for the Model
1060RC:

Prior to installation, you will need to examine the rear card that you
have selected and ensure that it is configured properly for your
application. Each rear card is configured by setting straps located on
the PC board. Sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 describe the strap locations
and possible settings for each rear card.

3.4.1 DB-25/RJ-11 & DB-25/RJ-45 Strap Settings

Figure 5 (below) shows strap locations for the Model
1000RCM12511 (DB-25/RJ-11) and the Model 1000RCM12545 (DB­25/ RJ-45) rear cards. These straps determine various grounding
characteristics for the RS-232 and twisted pair lines.
