3.0 CONFIGURATION
This section describes the location and orientation of the Model
1004ARC's configuration switches, provides detailed instructions on
setting each switch and describes the settings for each of the rear con-
nection cards.
3.1 FRONT CARD CONFIGURATION
The Model 1004ARC front card houses two short hauls–Modem A
and Modem B–
each using two sets of DIP switches. The locations of
these switches are shown in Figure 1 (below). These switches are
accessible when the card is slid out of the rack chassis. Once config-
ured, the Model 1004ARC is designed to operate transparently, without
need for frequent re-configuration.
Each of the DIP switches on the Model 1004ARC function card is
a 4-position switch. Figure 2 (below) shows the On/Off orientation of
these switches. Use a small screw driver or similar instrument to set
each individual switch.
3.1.1 SWITCH SETTINGS - MODEM “A”
DIP switches S1 and S2 configure short range Modem A on the
Model 1004ARC front card. The tables below provide an overview of
Modem A switch settings, including factory default settings. Following
the tables is a descriptions of each switch’s function.
SWITCH SET “S1”
DIP switch S1 is used to configure receive impedance,
RTS/CTS delay, carrier control operation and “echo” enable/disable.
The summary table below shows the factory default settings for switch
S1. Following the summary table is a detailed description of each indi-
vidual switch.
S1-1: Receive Impedance
The setting for switch S1-1 selects the impedance of the input
receiver. You may select either a “low” impedance of 120 Ohms or a
“high” impedance of 16K Ohms. By selecting the proper impedance for
each drop, there may be up to 50 receivers in one application.
S1-1
Setting
On
Low (120 Ohm)
Off
High (16K Ohm typical)
S1-2: RTS/CTS Delay
The setting for switch S1-2 determines the amount of delay
between the time the Model 1004ARC “sees” RTS and when it sends
CTS. Note: RTS/CTS Delay setting should be based upon transmis-
sion timing.
S1-2
Setting
On
8 msec
Off
no delay
