3.0 CONFIGURATION
This section describes the location and orientation of the Model
1060RC's configuration switches and provides detailed instructions on
setting each of the switches.
3.1 FRONT CARD CONFIGURATION
The Model 1060RC uses a set of eight DIP switches that allow
configuration to a wide range of asynchronous applications. These DIP
switches are accessible when the card is slid out of the rack chassis
(see Figure 1, below). Once configured, the Model 1060RC is
designed to operate transparently, without need for frequent re-
configuration.
The eight DIP switches on the Model 1060RC board allow you to
specify control signal pin assignments and carrier control method.
Figure 2 (below) shows the orientation of the DIP switches with respect
to "ON" and "OFF" positions.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1060RC Asynchronous Short Range Modem Rack
Card
operates full duplex over two unconditioned twisted pair.
Supporting data rates to 57.6 kbps, the Model 1060RC has a maximum
range of 14 miles (22.5 km) (at 1200 bps over 19 AWG wire). The
Model 1060RC passes one control signal in each direction, and
features both optical isolation and Silicon Avalanche Diode surge
protection on the data line side.
The Model 1060RC is designed to mount in Patton's 2U high 19"
rack chassis. This 16 card chassis has a switchable 120/240 volt
power supply and mounts cards in a mid-plane architecture: The front
"brains" card can be plugged into different rear "interface" cards. This
means that the 1060RC can have several interface options, and can be
switched with other Patton short haul cards.
The Model 1060RC has two built-in diagnostic tools: local and
remote loopback test. Additionally, bi-level LEDs on the 1060RC's front
panel allow you to visually monitor communication.
