2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 2100LC is a low-cost 10BaseT tranciever/MAU

that allows Ethernet AUI ports to communicate over twisted pair cable
at distances up to 300 feet. Deriving power from the AUI interface, the
Model 2100LC requires no AC power or batteries. It can be connected
directly to a PC AUI port via a male DB-15 and to two twisted pair wire
via an RJ-45 jack. The Model 2100LC is housed in a sturdy ABS
plastic case measuring only 2” long x 1.68” wide 0.79” high.

Connecting directly to a DB-15 Ethernet AUI port, the Model
2100LC converts the 802.5 Ethernet electrical signals into signals that
are compatible with the 802.3 twisted pair interface. The Model
2100LC then transmits this data back to the workstation. To ensure
accuracy, an easily accessible SQE (Signal Quality Error) switch
automatically detects and corrects any misread signals. In addition, the
Model 2100LC will automatically correct a reversed polarity condition,
and cease transmission if it detects a jabber condition.
