This section describes the location and orientation of the Model 1094ARC’s configuration switches and jumpers, and provides detailed instructions for all possible settings.
3.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE SWITCHES
The Model 1094ARC Series front card uses hardware switches for configuration. There is an interface driver board strap, and three eight­position DIP switches, on the bottom side of the front card (see Figure 1, below).
Figure 2 shows the orientation of the DIP switches with respect to
the “ON” and “OFF” positions.
3.1.1 Reversible Interface Driver Board
The Model 1094ARC Series features switchable interface driver boards that allow a wide range of DTE interface connections. Figure 3 shows the Interface Driver Board on the top of the 1094ARC PC board.
Follow the instructions below to select the correct interface for your application:
1. With the 1094ARC front card pulled out of the rack or cluster­box chassis, locate the driver board on the top of the 1094ARC front card.
2. Lift the interface board gently off of the PC board.
3. Locate the correct interface on the bottom of the driver board. For example, the RS-232/V.35 interface board is marked
“THIS SIDE UP FOR RS-232” on one side and “THIS SIDE UP FOR V.35” on the other side . Other “single” interface
boards are marked with “FRONT” on one side of the board.
4. Re-orient the interface board into the socket with the appropri­ate interface pointed UP and with the arrow pointing toward the front panel of the Model 1094ARC PC board.
5. Push the Interface Driver Board gently onto the socket and re­install into the rack or cluster system.

3.1.2 Connecting to a “DTE” Device
The serial port on most interface modules (all except the X.21 module) is hard-wired as a DCE. Therefore these modules “want” to plug into a DTE such as a terminal, PC or host. When making the connection to your DTE device, use a straight through cable of the shortest possible length—we recommend 6 feet or less. When pur­chasing or constructing an interface cable, please refer to the pin dia­grams in Appendix C as a guide.
3.1.3 Connecting to a “DCE” Device
If the Model 1094ARC interface module is hard-wired as a DCE
(all except the X.21 module), you must use a
null modem
cable when connecting to a modem, multiplexer or other DCE device. This cable should be of the shortest possible length—we recommend 6 feet or less. When purchasing or constructing a null modem interface cable, use the pin diagrams in Appendix C as a guide.
3.1.4 Configuring the X.21 Interface Module IM2RC/D
The serial port on the X.21 Interface Module is default wired as a DCE, but may be switched to a DTE. This is done by reversing the ori­entation of the DCE/DTE strap, as described below:
To reverse DCE/DTE orientation, remove the interface module according to the instructions in Section 3.1.1. The DCE/DTE strap is located on the top side of the interface module’s PC board. The arrows on the top of the strap indicate the configuration of the X.21 port (for example, if the DCE arrows are pointing toward the rear card connector, the X.21 port is wired as a DCE). Reverse the DCE/DTE orientation by pulling the strap out of its socket, rotating it 180º, then plugging the strap back into the socket. You will see that the DCE/DTE arrows now point in the opposite directions, showing the new configuration of the X.21 port. Reinstall the module according to the instructions in Section 3.1.1.
3.1.5 Configuration DIP Switch Set “S1” - Management Address
Switch S1 is used to set the address of the card in the NetLink Network Management System. When the 1094ARC is installed with a Model 1001MC, the cards and their remote units can be SNMP man­aged using a standard Network Management Station (NMS) or a stan­dard web browser (i.e. Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.). For more information on setting the address, please see Appendix A of the Model 1001MC Operations Manual.
NOTE: If you are not using your Model 1094ARC in an SNMP managed environment, S1 switches should all be set to the ON position.
3.1.6 Configuration DIP Switch Set “S2”
The configuration switches on S2 allow you to specify the Line Rate, Clocking Mode and response to DTE Loop Enable. Default set­tings of S2 are shown in the table below.
Switches S2-1, S2-2, S2-3, S2-4, S2-5: Reserved for Future Use

This section describes the functions of the Model 1001R14 rack chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 1094ARC Series cards into the chassis, and how to connect to the twisted pair interface and the serial interface.
4.1 THE MODEL 1001R14 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis (Figure 9, below) has fourteen short range modem card slots, plus its own power supply. Measuring only 3.5” high, the Model 1001R14 is designed to occupy only 2U in a 19” rack. Sturdy front handles allow the Model 1001R14 to be extract­ed and transported conveniently.
4.1.1 The Rack Power Supply
The power supply included in the Model 1001R14 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.
Figure 9: Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis with power supply
WARNING! There are no user-serviceable parts in the
power supply section of the Model 1094ARC 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.

20
Powering the 1001R14 Rack
The power supplies that are shipped with your 1001R14 rack sys­tem are equipped with a power entry connector on the rear cards. The power supplies are Hot-Swappable, so you are not required to remove the cards from the rack when applying power to the system. Patton Electronics recommends that if you wish to power OFF the rack, that you remove the front card instead of removing the power cable from the back of the rack. Keeping the power cable connected allows the rack to remain grounded.
4.2 INSTALLING MODEL 1094ARC SERIES INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 1094ARC Series is comprised of a front card and a rear card. The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the fol­lowing steps as a guideline for installing each Model 1094ARC Series into the rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails provided.
2. Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.
3. Slide the front card into the front of the chassis. It should meet the rear card when it’s almost all the way into the chas­sis.
4. Push the front card
gently
into the card-edge receptacle of the
rear card. It should “click” into place.
5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
4.3 WIRING THE MODEL 1094ARC SERIES
Each of the rear interface cards compatible with the Model 1094ARC Series has one terminal interface port and one 2-wire (twist­ed pair) port. For specific interface pin-outs, refer to the diagrams in Appendix C and E of this manual.
.
4.3.1 Connection to the Twisted Pair Interface
The Model 1094ARC supports communication between two DTE devices at distances to 5 miles (8 km) over 24AWG (.5mm) twisted pair wire. There are two essential requirements for installing the Model 1094ARC:
1. These units work in
pairs
. Therefore, you must have one Model 1094ARC (or a compatible model) at each end of a sin­gle twisted pair interface.
2. To function properly, the Model 1094ARC needs one twisted pair of metallic wire. This twisted pair must be
uncondi-
tioned
, dry, metallic wire, between 19 (.9mm) and 26 AWG (.4mm) (the higher number gauges may limit distance some what). Standard dial-up telephone circuits, or leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment, or standard, flat modular telephone type cable, are
not acceptable
.
4.3.2 Two-Wire Cable Connection Via RJ-45
1. The RJ-45 connector on the Model 1094ARC’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface.The signal/pin relationships are shown in Figure 10 below.
NOTE: Please refer to the Model 1001RP14 Series User
Manual
AC and DC Rack Mount Power Supplie
s for fuse and
power card replacement information.

IMPORTANT!: The Model 1094ARC has been optimized for
performance at high bitrates (DTE rates greater than 512 kbps). To ensure accurate performance at these bit rates, please use twisted pair line interface cable that is at least 330ft (100m) in length.
21
22
4.3.3 Two-Wire Cable Connection Via Terminal Block
The two pin terminal block connector on the Model 1094ARC’s twisted pair interface (TB rear card option) is polarity sensitive. Connection to the ter­minal block is made by connecting your two-wire cable to the connector sup­plied with your unit. For replacement parts please see Appendix B.
55..00 OOPPEERRAATTIIOONN
Once the Model 1094ARC is properly configured and installed, it should operate transparently. These sections describes functions of the LED status indicators, and the use of the built-in loopback test modes.
5.1 LED STATUS INDICATORS
The Model 1094ARC features twelve front panel LEDs that moni­tor power, the DTE signals, network connection and test modes. Figure 11 (below) shows the front panel location of each LED. Following Figure 10 is a description of each LEDs function.
TD & RD glows yellow to indicate an idle condition of Binary
“1” data on the respective terminal interface signals. Green indicates Binary “0” data.
CTS consists of 2 LEDs, 1 yellow, 1 green. CTS glows
green to indicate that the Clear to Send signal from the modem is active. Yellow indicates inac­tive CTS.
CD consists of 2 LEDs, 1 yellow, 1 green. CD glows
yellow if no carrier signal is being received from the remote modem. Green indicates that the remote modem’s carrier is being received.
DTR glows green to indicate that the Data Terminal
Ready signal from the terminal is active.
Notice! Any modular twisted pair cable connected to
the Model 1094ARC must be shielded cable, and the outer shield must be properly terminated to a shielded modular plug on both ends of the cable.

- Only at power up, blinks once every 200 ms if the DTE Rate is set to an unsupported setting.
TM glows yellow to indicate that the Model 1094ARC
has been placed in Test Mode. The unit can be placed in test mode by the local user or by the remote user. The TM LED will flash for 400msec when a valid packet is received from the Model 1001MC.
NS (No Signal) glows red to indicate that the local
Model 1094ARC is not connected with the remote Model 1094ARC.
5.2 TEST MODES
The Model 1094ARC offers two proprietary loopback test modes, plus a built-in V.52 BER test pattern generator to evaluate the condition of the modems and the communication link. These tests can be acti­vated physically from the front panel or via the interface.
5.2.1 Overview
Figure 12 below shows the major elements used in the loop-back and pattern tests available in the Model 1094ARC. Each block has several functions. Following Figure 12 are descriptions that show how the elements are used during Test Modes.
Figure 12: Block Diagram Model 1094ARC
Framer The framer is used to determine the status of
the line. In normal operation the framer transmits and expects to receive framed packets from the far end. If the framer receives framed packets from the far end, CTS and CD will be active. If framed packets are not received, CTS and CD will be inactive. The restart procedure uses this information to determine if a valid connection is made (cable disconnect, poor cable quality, etc). In normal Data Mode, if the box receives 4 sec­onds of unframed packets it will restart the box and begin trying to re-establish a connection with the far end. The distinction between framed packets and unframed packets becomes impor­tant when we discuss the Pattern Generator.
Pattern Gen/Det This part of the Processor generates and
detects the 511/511E patterns. When transmit­ting 511 patterns, the information is unframed (because it originates after the framer) and is intended to be evaluated only by another Processor. If the units are in Data Mode and the pattern generator is enabled on one end of the link, the far end will begin receiving unframed packets and assume that the line has gone down. During test modes, we force the pattern generator to time out before it can cause the link to be killed.
Loop Control This part of the Processor is used to control
loop-backs. In a Local Loop, the data is looped back towards the local DTE. In a Remote Loop, the data is looped back to the line, but it is also allowed to pass through to the framer and to the remote DTE.

Restart Procedure The restart procedure is in place to allow the and Time Outs units to re-establish a connection after the
framer begins seeing unframed packets. The Test Model Timing Chart below shows the amount of time the framer must see consecutive unframed packets before the unit will restart and try to establish a new line connection. The rea­son that there are different Restart Times will become apparent after reading the rest of the document. The 511/511E Time Out shown refers to the amount of time the 511/511E pattern will be valid. At the end of this time the pattern will automatically turn itself off and the normal data path will be re-established. The ER led will flash indicating to the user that the test has timed out. The ER led will stop flashing once the 511/511E switch is placed into the normal position.
Symbol Indicators
This symbol designates the origination or the termination of a data path. The direction of the arrow connected distinguish the two data paths.
This symbol designates an invalid data path. If there is data present it should be ignored.
5.2.2 Loops and Patterns
The following section describes the Test Modes used in the Model 1094ARC. At the bottom of each Test Mode, a figure is included to show the data path.
Local Loop There are two different modes of operation for a
Local Loop depending on the status of the units at the time that the Local Loop is initiated. If the units are not linked (NS LED on) and the Local Loop is initiated, either by the front panel switch or the DTE interface, the unit will enter mode 1. If the units are linked, NS LED off, then the unit will enter a mode 2 Local Loop.
A Mode 1 Local Loop is shown in Figure 13. When the Local Loop is initiated, either by the front panel switch or the DTE interface, the loop will be activated within the local DSP. The data present at the local DTE interface will be looped back to the local DTE by the Loop Control block within the Processor. Any data present on the line or at the far end DTE interface is invalid. The remote unit will remain in the StartUP mode, NS LED off, CTS LED yellow, and CD LED yellow, until the local unit is taken out of the LocalLoop mode. After the Local Loop is dese­lected, the units will both be in StartUP mode and the link will be established.
A mode 2 Local Loop is shown in Figure 14. When the Local Loop is initiated, either by the front panel switch or the DTE interface, two sep­arate loop paths will be started. In the first path, data presented to the local DTE interface will be looped back to the local DTE within the framer. In the second path data presented at the far end DTE will be transmitted to the local DTE then looped back within the local DTE Loop Control block with the Processor. After the Local Loop is deselected, the units will be placed back into DataMode and the normal data paths will be re­established.

Figure 14. Block Diagram Local Loop Mode 2
Local Loop When the unit is placed into a Mode 1 Local with 511/511E Loop and the 511/511E pattern generator is acti-
vated, the local pattern generator begins send­ing out a 511/511E pattern to the Loop Control block. The Loop Control block will loop this data back to the 511/511E pattern detector block, which will evaluate the data for errors. Because the 511/511E pattern generator is contained within the Processor the data is unframed so the framer will begin seeing unframed packets. The framer receives this unframed data and can not distinguish this information from a line discon­nection (this would cause the units' Restart pro­cedure to start). What we have done to allow this mode to work is to add time outs for the pat­tern generators. When the 511/511E is initiated the line restart procedure is changed to one minute. The 511/511E pattern will timeout after 45 seconds. So if the 511/511E is turned on dur­ing a local loop, the restart procedure is set to one minute, but the 511/511E pattern will time­out after 45 seconds, allowing the framer to begin seeing framed packets (and not restart the box). After the 511/511E pattern times out, the ER led will begin flashing.
Local Loop It will remain this way until the pattern generator with 511/511E switch is turned off. Note that the data at the (continued) local DTE and the remote DTE are not valid.
Because the data is unframed there is no way for the framer to send this data out to the DTE. This is an important distinction because other Patton units will send out the 511 pattern.
When the unit is placed into a Mode 2 Local Loop, the 511/511E pattern generator on the local unit is unavailable for transmission. As can be seen from Figure 14, the 511/511E pattern generator has no data path connections avail­able. The 511/511E pattern generator is still available on the remote unit. For more informa­tion on the proper operation of this pattern gen­erator please refer to the "Remote Digital Loop with 511/511E" section.

Remote Digital The Remote Loop uses the EOC channel (an Loop out-of-band signaling channel) to establish the
remote link. Upon the RDL switch being thrown or DTE initiation, a RDL_ON Request signal is sent to the remote unit. The Remote unit then responds with an RDL Acknowledge command and the link is established. Data originates at the local DTE and is looped at the Remote DSP back to the Local DTE. Note that the data is also passed through to the Remote DTE and is not squelched. When a Remote unit enters RDL, it changes its' Restart timeout to one minute (the reason will be explained in the RDL with 511/511E section). If the line is disconnected, the local unit will Restart (NS led activated) after 4 - 6 seconds, but the Remote unit will wait for one minute before it Restarts. Note that the transmit data at the Remote DTE is ignored. When the switch is thrown or the DTE removes the RDL request, the local unit will transmit an RDL_OFF Request to the Remote unit. The local unit will keep its' TM led active until this request has been completely sent out. If the switch is thrown again before the completion of the termination phase the switch will be ignored until it is placed back into the normal position.
Figure 17. Block Diagram Remote Loop
Remote Digital The Remote Digital Loop with 511/511E is Loop with shown below. After RDL is established the 511/511E Remote units' Restart Timer is set to one
minute. This has been done because when the 511/511E generator is started on the local unit, the Remote framer begins seeing unframed packets. The Remote unit can not distinguish the 511/511E pattern from the line being discon­nected so the Restart Timer has been length­ened to allow the pattern generator to function. Once the 511/511E test is started, the Local unit changes its' Restart Timer to one minute. The pattern originates within the DSP and is sent to the Remote unit. It is then looped back to the Local unit where it is evaluated for errors. After 45 seconds, the Pattern Generator will timeout and stops sending the pattern. The ER led will begin blinking until the user turns off the 511/511E switch.

Data Mode with When the units enter DataMode it is possible to 511/511E Pattern turn on the 511/511E pattern generators on both Generators ends of the link. Once a 511/511E pattern is
selected on one end of the link, the pattern gen­erator will begin transmitting unframed 511/511E through the line to the Remote end. A possible problem with this test can occur due to the Restart procedure. Once the Local 511/511E is turned on, the Remote unit begins receiving an unframed 511 pattern. If the Remote unit does not turn on the 511/511E-pattern generator with­in 4 seconds, the Remote unit will Restart and enter the StartUp mode. Note that once the 511/511E-pattern generator is started the Restart timer is changed to one minute (only on the unit which has the pattern enabled). If both units enable the 511/511E pattern within 4 sec­onds of each other, both units will be transmit­ting and receiving the 511/511E pattern. Both framers are now receiving unframed data and will restart after one minute. The 511/511E pat­tern generators will TimeOut after 45 seconds re-enabling the normal data path. The ER led will begin flashing until the user terminates the test.

5.2.3 Using the V.52 (BER) Test Pattern Generator
To use the V.52 BER tests in conjunction with the Remote Digital Loopback tests* (or with Local Line Loopback tests), follow these instructions:
1. Locate the “511/511E” toggle switch on the front panel of the 1094ARC and move it to the left. This activates the V.52 BER
test mode and transmits a “511” test pattern into the loop. If any errors are present, the local modem’s red “ER” LED will blink sporadically.
2. If the above test indicates no errors are present, move the V.52 toggle switch to the right, activating the “511/E” test with errors present. If the test is working properly, the local modem's red “ER” LED will glow. A successful “511/E” test will confirm that the link is in place, and that the Model 1094ARC’s built-in “511” generator and detector are working properly.

*NOTE: The above V.52 BER tests can be used independently
of the Remote Digital Loopback tests. This requires two opera­tors: one to initiate and monitor the tests at the local Model 1094ARC, and one to do the same at the remote Model 1094ARC. In this case, the test pattern sent by each Model 1094ARC will not be looped back, but will be transmitted down the line to the other Model 1094ARC.
