2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Model 1080ARC Series Universal Short Range Modem
2-wire (half duplex) or 4-wire (full or half duplex), in synchronous or asyn­chronous modes at an extended range of 20 miles. It operates at 12 switch-selectable data rates to 57.6 kbps. The Model 1080ARC always operates in sync. mode between the local and remote modems; when connected to an async. RS-232 device, the Model 1080ARC converts the async. data to sync. data.

operates
The Model 1080ARC has several features to enhance overall perfor­mance: automatic equalization, automatic gain control, antistreaming timer, transformer isolation and Silicon Avalanche Diode surge protec­tion. The Model 1080ARC features V.52 compliant bit error rate pattern tests and two V.54 test modes.
The Model 1080ARC 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 card can be plugged into different rear cards. This means that the Model 1080ARC card can have several interface options and can be switched with other Patton short haul cards.

3.0 CONFIGURATION

This section describes the location and orientation of the Model 1080ARC’s configuration switches and provides detailed instructions on setting each of the switches.
The Model 1080ARC uses a unique package of 24 DIP switches that allow configuration to an extremely wide range of applications. These 24 DIP switches are accessible when the card is slid out of the rack chassis. Once configured, the Model 1080ARC is designed to operate transpar­ently, without need for frequent re-configuration.

3.1 SWITCH LOCATIONS AND ORIENTATION

The Model 1080ARC has three sets of eight switches—S1, S2, and S3— which are mounted on the PC board (Figure 1). These configuration switches allow you to select data rates, clocking methods, V.52 & V.54 tests, word lengths, extended signaling rates, async. or sync. mode, 2- or 4-wire operation, antistream control and input impedance. As Figure 2 shows, the orientation of all DIP switches is the same with respect to “ON” and “OFF” positions.

3.2 CONFIGURATION SWITCH SET “S1”

The DIP switches on S1 set data rate, clock source, async./sync. mode and carrier control method. The default settings are summarized in Table 1.
Table 1:
Summary of DIP switch default settings for set S1
Position Function Factory Default
S1-1 Data Rate On 9,600 bps S1-2 Data Rate Off 9,600 bps S1-3 Data Rate Off 9,600 bps S1-4 Data Rate On 9,600 bps S1-5 Clock Source On Internal S1-6 Clock Source On Internal S1-7 Async./Sync. On Async. S1-8 Carrier Control Off Constantly On

S1-1 through S1-4: Data Rate Setting

Switches S1-1 through S1-4 are set in combination to determine the asynchronous and synchronous data rate for the Model 1080ARC (see Table 2).
Table 2:
S1-1 through S1-4: Data Rate Settings
S1-1 S1-2 S1-3 S1-4 Setting
On On On On 1.2 kbps Off On On On 1.8 kbps On Off On On 2.4 kbps Off Off On On 3.6 kbps On On Off On 4.8 kbps Off On Off On 7.2 kbps On Off Off On 9.6 kbps Off Off Off On 14.4 kbps On On On Off 19.2 kbps Off On On Off 28.8 kbps On On Off Off 38.4 kbps Off On Off Off 57.6 kbps

S1-5 and S1-6: Clock Source

Switches S1-5 and S1-6 are set in combination to determine the transmit clock source for the Model 1080ARC (see Table 3).
Table 3:
S1-5 and S1-6: Clock Source Settings
S1-5 S1-6 Setting
On On Internal transmit clock Off On Receive recover clock On Off External transmit clock

S1-7: Asynchronous/Synchronous Mode

The setting for switch S1-7 determines whether the Model 1080ARC is in asynchronous or synchronous operating mode (see Table 4).
Table 4:
Asynchronous/Synchronous Mode Settings
S1-7 Setting
On Asynchronous Off Synchronous

S1-8: Carrier Control Method

The setting for switch S1-8 determines whether the carrier is “constantly on” or “controlled by RTS”. This setting allows for operation in switched carrier, multipoint and/or hardware handshaking applications (see Table 5).
Table 5:
Carrier Control Method Settings
S1-8 Setting
Off Constantly on On Controlled by RTS

3.3 CONFIGURATION SWITCH SET S2

The DIP switches on S2 set word length, extended signaling rate, RTS/ CTS delay, V.52 & V.54 diagnostic tests and 2- and 4-wire operation. The default settings are summarized in Table 6.
Table 6:
Summary of DIP switch default settings for S2
Position Function Factory Default
S2-1 Not Used N/A S2-2 2-Wire/4-Wire Off (4-Wire) S2-3 V.52/V.54 Tests Off (Normal Operation) S2-4 RTS/CTS Delay On (7 ms) S2-5 RTS/CTS Delay On (7 ms) S2-6 Extended Signaling Rate Off (-2.5% to 1%) S2-7 Word Length Off (10 bits) S2-8 Word Length Off (10 bits)

S2-2: 2-Wire/4-Wire Mode Selection

The setting for switch S2-2 determines whether the Model 1080ARC is operating in 2-wire or 4-wire mode (see Table 7).
Table 7:
2-Wire/4-Wire Mode Selection Settings
S2-2 Setting
Off 4-wire (full or half duplex) On 2-wire (half duplex only)

S2-3: V.52 and V.54 Diagnostic Test

To reset the V.54 circuit, set switch S2-3 to the “ON” position, then back to the “OFF” position (see Table 8).
Table 8:
V.52 and V.54 Diagnostic Test Settings
S2-3 Setting
Off Normal Operation On Test Disabled
11

S2-4 and S2-5: RTS/CTS Delay

The combined settings for switches S2-4 and S2-5 determine the amount of delay between the time the Model 1080ARC “sees” RTS and when it sends CTS. Options are no delay, 7 ms and 53 ms (see Table 9).
Table 9:
RTS/CTS Delay Settings
S2-4 S2-5 Setting
On On 7 ms On Off 53 ms Off On No delay Off Off No delay

S2-6: Extended Signaling Rate

The setting for switch S2-6 determines the range of variability the Model 1080ARC “looks for” in asynchronous data rates (i.e., the actual variance from a given frequency level the Model 1080ARC will tolerate (see Table 10).
Table 10:
Extended Signaling Rate Settings
S2-6 Setting
Off -2.5% to +1% On -2.5% to +2.3%

S2-7 and S2-8: Word Length

Switches S2-7 and S2-8 are set in combination to determine the word length for asynchronous/synchronous data (see Table 11).
Table 11:
