1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION

Patton Electronics warrants all Model 2042 components to be

free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the prod­uct should it fail within one year from the first date of shipment.

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 2042 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 2042 has been tested and found to com­ply with the limits for a Class Acomputing 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 2042 does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter­mined by disconnecting the Model 2042, 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).This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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). ACertificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical
Support.

WARNING: To Users of Digital Apparatus in Canada:
This Class Adigital apparatus meets all requirements of the
Canadian interference-causing equipment regulations.

• Transparent to synchronous protocol.

• DB-25 and HD-50 connectors with integral 6-foot (1.8m) cable.

• Two versions available:
Model 2042MC-MT: Connects RS-530 (DTE) to HSSI (DCE)
Model 2042MT-MC: Connects 530 (DCE) to HSSI (DTE)

• Internal synchronization circuit enables high speed connections

• Externally AC powered.

• Made in the U.S.A.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Model 2042 is a RS-530 to High Speed Serial Interface
(HSSI) converter. It allows a HSSI (HD-50) device to communicate bi­directionally with a RS-530 device at synchronous data rates up to
10Mbps. The Model 2042 supports all HSSI co-directional timing pat­terns, 2 loopback modes (local and remote line), full duplex data and
control signals.

The Model 2042 is available in several versions: The Model
2042MT-MC lets a RS-530 DCE device communicate with a HSSI DTE
device. The Model 2042MC-MT lets a RS-530 DTE device communi­cate with a HSSI DCE device.

All versions are equipped with a male DB-25 connector on the
converter end, and a male HD-50 on the end of a 6-foot (1.8 m) cable.
Other connector genders and cable lengths are available on a custom
basis. Power is supplied to the Model 2042 by an external desktop AC
transformer.

3.0 CONFIGURATION

The Model 2042 is easy to install and is ruggedly designed for
excellent reliability. The following instructions will help you set up and
install the Model 2042 properly.

To use the Patton Model 2042, you must first configure the unit for
your application. To do so, first open the case by inserting a flat head
screw driver into an open slot on either side of the case, as in Figure 1.

Twist the screw driver head slightly and the top half of the case
will separate from the lower half, as in Figure 2. You now have access
to the internal switches used to configure the unit.

After opening the case, please refer to the section that pertains to
your unit for configuration details:

Model 2042MC-MT....................................................3.1

Model 2042MT-MC....................................................3.2

To close the case, fit the 2 halves together snugly and snap them
back in place.

3.1 CONFIGURATION SWITCHES (MODEL 2042MC-MT)

The Model 2042MC-MT has miniature DIP switches that you may
use to configure the units. Each Model 2042MC-MT is factory config­ured as DCE on the RS-530 end, and DTE on the HSSI end.
Therefore, the RS-530 end “wants” to plug directly into a DTE device.
Conversely, the HSSI end of the converter “wants” to plug directly into
DCE.

Please use this section to configure the internal DIP switches so
that the unit will work properly in your application. Figure 3 shows the
position of the DIP switches on the top side of the PC board.

Figure 4 shows the orientation of the switches on DIP Switches S1
through S4 with respect to ON/OFF positions. The default settings for
DIP Switch S1 are shown in the table 1 on page 6. Detailed descrip­tions of each switch follow the table.
