Installing the Modem
Note:
The jumper positions in the following sections reflect the position of the jumpers on the modem board when you face the board as indicated in Figure 2-4 on page 12.
Jumper S1 − Carrier Detect Control
Settings:
Jumper S1 configures the dynamic range of the modem receiver. The selections are either –33 dBm or –43 dBm. If the incoming signal is above –24 dBm, use the default –33 dBm setting. If the modem is operated on the network, use the –43 dBm setting.
-33 dBm (default)
-43 dBm

Settings:
0 dBm (default)
-2 dBm
-4 dBm
-6 dBm
-8 dBm
-10 dBm
-12 dBm
-14 dBm
Jumper S2 adjusts the modem’s transmit level. There are eight transmit level settings you can choose. By default, the modem uses a transmit level of 0 dBm.
Page 14
Jumper S3 − 2-wire/4-wire Mode
Installing the Modem
Settings:
2-wire 4-wire (default)
Jumper S3 configures the modem for 2-wire or 4-wire operation. When configured for 4-wire full-duplex operation, jumper S5 can
be strapped to maintain constant carrier from the master modem to all slave modems at all times after the initial training. This enables the master modem to transmit data to the slave modems, with no RTS-to-CTS delay. This is the preferred operating mode when minimum turnaround is desired.
When configured for 2-wire half-duplex operation, the modem
encounters an RTS-to-CTS delay when transmitting to slave modems, increasing the turnaround time. Set jumper S5 to controlled carrier for 2-wire half-duplex operation.
Jumper S4 − Call Turnaround Squelch
Settings:
Enabled Disabled (default)
Jumper S4 configures the modem’s Call Turnaround Squelch setting. For 2-wire, half-duplex communications, set this strap to the Enabled position. In this position, the receiver is inhibited for a period of time after the local transmitter is turned OFF. This guards against echoes caused by the transmission just completed. The time is determined by the turnaround squelch time option (jumper S11).
For 4-wire, full-duplex communications, keep the jumper set to the default position of Disabled.
Page 15
Installing the Modem
Jumper S5 − Transmit Carrier
Settings:
Control (default) Constant
Jumper S5 places the transmitter under terminal control (default) or turns on the transmitter continuously in a 2-wire half duplex system.
Jumper S6 − Local Copy
Settings:
Jumper S6 must be left in the default position of Disabled when operating on a 4-wire network. It is also normally left in the default Disabled position when operating on a 2-wire network. Strapping this jumper as Disabled inhibits the local receiver from receiving the transmission of the local transmitter.
Enabled Disabled (default)
Jumper S8 − Signal and Earth Ground
Settings:
Jumper S8 allows Earth GND to be tied to the modem system GND.
Page 16
Connected Separate (default)
Jumper S9 − RTS-CTS Delay
Installing the Modem
Settings:
8 ms (default) 33 ms 59 ms 219 ms
Jumper S9 configures the modem’s RTS-CTS delay. Four choices for selecting an RTS-CTS delay are available.
Jumper S10 − Carrier Detect Delay
Settings:
Jumper S10 configures the modem’s Carrier Detect turn on Delay timing. The delay chosen must be consistent with the Clear To Send delay selection of the transmitting modem and must be less than the CTS delay. The available delays are 6 ms (default) and 23 ms. The carrier detect drop out is less than 6 ms.
6 ms (default) 23 ms
Jumper S11 − Turnaround Squelch Time
Settings:
8 ms (default) 159 ms
Jumper S11 is used with the call turnaround squelch option (jumper
S4). The available times are 8 ms (default) and 159 ms.
Page 17
Installing the Modem
Jumper S12 − Soft Carrier Turn Off
Settings:
None 8 ms (default) 26 ms
Jumper S12 configures the modem to either turn off the transmitter immediately upon release of Request To Send, or send a Soft Carrier Turn Off signal of 900 Hz for 8 or 26 ms at the end of each transmission.
Jumper S13 − Anti-Streaming
Settings:
Jumper S13 lets you select an anti-streaming time or use no anti­streaming at all. Anti-streaming is typically used in multi-point applications to prevent a malfunctioning slave from occupying the line indefinitely.
When anti-streaming is active, the modem can only transmit data for up to 56 seconds. Thereafter, the modem’s transmitter is automatically turned off. The modem then looks for an ON-to-OFF transition of Request To Send (RTS) before proceeding with normal operation.
None (default) 4 seconds
7.6 seconds 14 seconds 28 seconds 56 seconds
Page 18
Installing the Modem
Jumpers S14 and S15 − Self Test or Test Pattern
Settings:
Jumpers S14 and S15 configures the modem for Self Test or Test Pattern. When the modem is in local Self Test or Test Pattern mode, it generates a dot test pattern. The supported baud rates are 1 bps, 18 bps, 37 bps, 75 bps, or 150 bps.
1 bps 18 bps (default) 37 bps 75 bps 150 bps
Connecting a DTE
The modem back panel provides a standard, 25-pin port labeled DTE, which connects to an RS-232 device. The connectors for this port conform to the pin assignments shown under “DTE Connector – EIA RS-232-C” on page 29.
The DTE should have a cable no longer than 50 feet, with a Cinch or Cannon plug per DB-19604-432 plus a DB-51225-1 hood or equivalent.
Connecting to a Private Line Communication Circuit
The modem back panel provides an 8-pin RJ-45 connector labeled TELCO, which connects to a private line communication circuit. The connectors for this port conform to the pin assignments shown under “Telco Connector” on page 29.
Connecting to an AC Power Source
The modem back panel provides an AC line cord. If the chassis ground is connected through the third prong of the AC power plug, a separate chassis ground wire is required.

Front Panel Test Switch
The modem front panel has a five-position rotary switch that lets you select the modem’s operating mode. The five switch positions are:
DATA use this position for normal data transmissions.  AL (Analog Loopback) this position prepares the modem for
testing by the local terminal device. The transmitter output of the modem is disconnected from the output coupling transformer and connected to the modem receiver input. See Figure 3-1.
DL (Digital Loopback) ⎯ this position configures the modem to
loop back received data to the transmitter and transmit the data to the remote end. The RS-232-C interface to the terminal is not active during this test. See Figure 3-2.
ST (Self Test) ⎯ this position inhibits the modem from
transmitting and receiving data on the COMM LINE. The RS-232­C interface to the terminal is not active during this test. See Figure 3-3.
The test pattern (dot pattern) passes through the transmitter, loops back into the receiver, is demodulated, and is checked for errors. If errors occur, the TM LED turns OFF and remains OFF for a period of time that depends on the pattern generator baud rate.
In Analog Loopback and Self Test modes, the received analog data is buffered, amplified by 16 dB (if output level is set to 0 dB), and routed out on the transmit analog pair.
TTP (Transmit Test Pattern) ⎯ this setting forces the transmitter
on and transmits data from the test generator to the COMM LINE. The RS-232-C interface lines (RTS, CTS, and Transmit Data) to the transmitter are not active. See Figure 3-4.
The TM LED goes ON when the receive data is good. If there are errors, or if the received data does not compare with the transmitted data, the TM LED goes off. The RS-232-C interface lines to the receiver are active during this mode.

RMA Procedure
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Procedure
Before returning any Raymar-Telenetics product, an RMA number must be obtained.
Before asking for an RMA number, ascertain that the product was purchased from Raymar-Telenetics. If you bought the product from a Distributor or Systems Integrator, the product should be returned to that vendor.
The most convenient method to obtain an RMA number for a product purchased from Raymar-Telenetics is to call 1-800-747-1522.
Please have the required information ready: Your Company Name, billing address and the return address that we would use
to return the product to you. Please include any Mail Stop or specific delivery information. The City, State, and Zip code are all required. Your phone number, Fax number and email address.
For each item you wish to return: List the product model number, the serial number for each item you wish to return, a description of the problem you are encountering, and the cause of the problem (if known).
A product support specialist may call to verify that the product is properly installed or may ask you to perform tests to insure that the product has actually failed.
The product must be properly packed and returned to: Raymar-Telenetics
7325 Roseville Road Sacramento, CA 95842
The RMA number must be legibly displayed on the shipping carton. No RMA’s will be issued without a product review; Raymar-Telenetics will
not be responsible for any product returned without an RMA number. If the product is out of warranty, please let us know your method of payment
for repairs, either a Purchase Order, or Credit Card on the RMA request. Repairs currently require 5 – 10 working days, and are returned UPS Ground.
