3.1.3 Setting the Reversible Interface Driver Board
The Model 2500RC Series supports both RS-232 and V.35 electrical interfaces for the terminal connection port. Which electrical interface is active is determined by the orientation of the small reversible daughter board on the front card (see Figure 3, below). The daughter board is clearly marked “THIS SIDE UP FOR RS-232” and “THIS SIDE UP FOR V.35”. Note: When plugging the daughter board into the socket, the arrow should always point toward the front
of the
PC board.

2. Power up the terminal and set its RS-232C port as follows: 9600 baud
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity local echo CR = CR/LF on inbound data ANSI, VT-100 emulation
3. Press [CTRL+B] on the terminal, then enter the address of the
card you wish to configure (see Section 3.1.4), and press [RETURN]. (Note: Do
not
use the universal address [99].
Configure only
one
card at a time.) The Model 2500RC Series Main Menu should then display on the terminal screen (see below).
3.2.2 Using the Software Menu System
The Model 2500RC Series Menu System operates as follows:
1All
selections must be followed by [RETURN].
2 To make a selection from any menu, enter the option number
at the prompt and press [RETURN].
3. To exit any menu without making a selection, press [ESC] followed by [RETURN]. (Note: You can also exit by just pressing [RETURN]. However, doing this in the Store Phone Number Menu will clear the buffer of the currently stored number.)
For each screen described below, selecting a numbered option and
pressing [RETURN] stores that option setting and returns you to the Software Switch Menu (Note: All lettered options must be entered in lower case)
Line Rate
Choosing option 1 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Line Rate Menu (below). This option controls the signaling rate on the line. Set it to match the speed of your digital service. For line rates of 56 or 64 Kbps, it is possible to operate the DTE interface at a lower rate. To do this , set the line rate to 56 or 64 Kbps. Then set the DTE Speed as required (Software Switch Menu option 7).
Circuit Assurance
Choosing option 2 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Circuit Assurance Menu (below). On dedicated (DDS) circuits, the transmitter and the CTS output can be configured to go ON only when a working communication circuit is established. If you use Circuit Assurance with DDS services, enable it on only one end of the communication link. For Switched-56 service, enable Circuit Assurance on both ends of the circuit. When Circuit Assurance is disabled, the transmitter and CTS operate without regard to the receiver state.
DTE Data Format
Choosing option 5 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Data Format Menu (below). This option controls whether an async-to­sync conversion is performed between the DTE and the Model 2500RC Series. (Data is always transferred synchronously between two Model 2500RC Series units.) For an
asynchronous
DTE, select the
asynchronous data format
1,2
; for a
synchronous
DTE, select the
synchronous data format.
NOTE
1
: The async rate of 57.6 kbps is supported at the 56 kbps
line rate, provided the DTE equipment is configured to transmit two
stop bits. The extra stop bit reduces the DTE’s effective data rate
to allow synchronization with the 56 kbps line speed.
Set the Model 2500RC Series for two stop bits by selecting “11 bit character length” in the Character Length Menu.
NOTE2: You can use the Model 2500RC Series to transmit lower­speed asynchronous data (up to 9.6 Kbps) over synchronous circuits by simple over-sampling. To do this, select the synchronous data format and set the line Line Rate (Software Switch Menu option 1) to at least four times that asynchronous data rate you wish to send. For example, use a Line Rate of 9.6 Kbps or higher for 2.4 Kbps async data.
NOTE: For DTE data rates of 56 kbps or 64 kbps, set the rate adapter to “Line Rate = DTE Rate”, and set the Line Rate to 56 or 64 kbps, respectively. For DTE rate of 57.6 kbps, set rate adapter to “Line Rate = DTE Rate”, set line rate to 56 kbps, set DTE for two stop bits, and set CSU/DSU character length to “11 bits”.
DTE Loop Control
Choosing option 8 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
DTE Loop Control Menu (below). The local and remote loopbacks on the Model 2500RC Series can be controlled from the DTE interface by raising or lowering the LL and RL signals. To allow the DTE to control these loopbacks in this manner, enable this option. Disable if you want the Model 2500RC Series to ignore these signals.
Clock Mode
Choosing option 9 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
Clock Mode Menu (below).
22
RTS/CTS Delay
Choosing option “b “ in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the
RTS/CTS Delay Menu (below). This option lets you set the RTS/CTS turn-on delay to Normal or Extended. The delay interval decreases as the line rate increases.

4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the functions of the Model 1000R16 rack chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 2500RC Series cards into the chassis, and provides diagrams for wiring the interface connections correctly.
4.1 THE MODEL 1000R16 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1000R16 Rack Chassis (Figure 9, below) has sixteen short range 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.
4.1.1 The Rack Power Supply
The power supply included in the Model 1000R16 rack uses the same mid-plane architecture as the modem cards. The front card of the power supply slides in from the front, and the rear card slides 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.
(continued)
Figure 9. Model 1000R16 Rack Chassis with power supply
WARNING! There are no user-serviceable parts in the
power supply section of the Model 2500RC Series. 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.
5.0 OPERATION
Once the Model 2500RC Series unit is installed and configured properly it is ready to operate. This section describes the function of the LED indicators, the status displays, the use of loopback test modes, and Switched 56 dialing procedures (Models 2510RC and 2520RC only).
5.1 LED DESCRIPTIONS
The Model 2500RC Series is equipped with nine LED indicators that monitor the status of communication. Figure 12 (below) shows the location of the LEDs on the Model 2500RC Series front panel. Note also the location of the test mode switches and RS-232 control port (used in Switched 56 dialing as well as software configuration). Following Figure 12 is a description of each LED’s function.
“TD” and “RD” will glow red to indicate an Idle condition or Binary “1” data on the respective terminal interface signals. Green indicates Binary “0” data.

5.2.1 Displaying Configuration Settings
To display the current settings of the hardware and /or software switches, go to the Main Menu and select item 2, “Read Configuration”. This will take you to the Read Configuration Menu (below).
In the Read Configuration Menu, you may select item 1 to read the hardware switch configuration or item 2 to read the software switch configuration. A sample screens is shown below:
(continued)
LAL Test Activation
The LAL test may be activated in one of three ways:
1. Toggle the front panel “Local/Normal/Remote” switch to the right hand side to the “Local” position.
2. Activate the LL lead from the DTE (Note: in order to use this option, the DTE Loop Control option must be enabled–see Section 3.2.4). If you are not sure which pin is the LL lead, please refer to the pinout diagrams in Appendix D.
3 From a terminal, first go to the Main Menu and select item 3 to
display the Software Switch Menu (Section 3.2.4) In the Software Switch Menu, select item “e” to go to the Local Line Loop Menu (see below). To activate LAL, select item 1.
LAL Test Procedure
Once LAL is activated, the Model 2500RC Series transmit output is connected to its own receiver. The “Test” LED should be lit. Follow these steps to complete the test:
1. Verify that the data terminal equipment is operating properly and can be used for a test. If a fault is indicated, call a technician or replace the unit.
2. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on each unit using a separate BER tester (The Model 2500RC Series has a built-in BER tester–see Section 5.4). If the BER test equipment indicates no faults but the data terminal indicates a fault, follow the manufacturer's checkout procedures for the data terminal. Also, check the interface cable between the terminal and the Model 2500RC Series.
RDL Test Procedure
Once LAL is activated, the “Test” LED should be lit. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on the system, using BER testers on both ends. If the BER test equipment indicates a fault and the Local Analog Loopback test was successful for both Model 2500RC Series units, you may have a problem with the line between the CSU/DSUs. You should inspect the line for proper connections.
5.3.3 Telco Testing
The digital service provider’s central office can perform CSU Loop and DSU Loop diagnostic testing. These diagnostics allow the central office to evaluate circuit operation without making visits to a customer’s premises.
CSU Loop
The CSU Loop is activated when the central office reverses the DC sealing current that flows between the TX pair and the RX pair. In this case, the Model 2500RC Series recognizes this and loops signals on the RX pair back to the central office on the TX pair (see Figure 13, below). While the CSU Loop is activated by the central office, the TM light is illuminated.
DSU Loop
The DSU Loop is activated when the central office sends a DSU loop signal over the twisted pair wire. The Model 2500RC Series senses this signal and loops the digital data back to the central office (see Figure 14, below). While the DSU Loop is activated, the TM light is illuminated.

5.5 SWITCHED 56 DIALING COMMANDS (MODELS 2510RC & 2520RC)
To access the Switched 56 dialing capabilities of the Mode 2500RC
Series, go to the Main Menu (see Section 3.2.4) and select item 5, “Set Switched 56 Dialing Parameters”. This will take you to the Switched 56 Menu (see below). The following paragraphs describe the commands in the Switched 56 Menu.
Store Phone Number (Enable DTR Dialing)
Selecting item 1 in the Dial Menu lets you activate the Model 2500RC Series’ “DTR Dialing” feature by storing a phone number in the unit’s non-volatile memory. The Model 2500RC Series automatically dials this number when the DTE raises the DTR lead. When you issue this command, the Model 2500RC Series responds with this prompt:
Enter up to 12 digits (without hyphens or other alphabetic characters), followed by [RETURN]. For example: “13015551212.”
NOTE: To disable DTR dialing, press [RETURN] (and nothing
else) when asked to enter the number to be stored.
CAUTION! Pressing [RETURN] by itself will erase any previously stored number from the unit’s non-volatile memory and cannot be undone. This will also disable DTR dialing.
CAUTION! For proper Switched 56 operation, you must enable the Circuit Assurance and Force RTS options as described in Section 4.0. Failure to do so may prevent the Model 2500RC Series unit from answering incoming Switched 56 calls.
