3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2042 is easy to install and is ruggedly designed for
excellent reliability. The following instructions will help you set up and
install the Model 2042 properly.
To use the Patton Model 2042, you must first configure the unit for
your application. To do so, first open the case by inserting a flat head
screw driver into an open slot on either side of the case, as in Figure 1.
Twist the screw driver head slightly and the top half of the case
will separate from the lower half, as in Figure 2. You now have access
to the internal switches used to configure the unit.
After opening the case, please refer to the section that pertains to
your unit for configuration details:

To close the case, fit the 2 halves together snugly and snap them
back in place.

3.1 CONFIGURATION SWITCHES (MODEL 2042MC-MT)
The Model 2042MC-MT has miniature DIP switches that you may
use to configure the units. Each Model 2042MC-MT is factory config-
ured as DCE on the RS-530 end, and DTE on the HSSI end.
Therefore, the RS-530 end “wants” to plug directly into a DTE device.
Conversely, the HSSI end of the converter “wants” to plug directly into
DCE.
Please use this section to configure the internal DIP switches so
that the unit will work properly in your application. Figure 3 shows the
position of the DIP switches on the top side of the PC board.
Figure 4 shows the orientation of the switches on DIP Switches S1
through S4 with respect to ON/OFF positions. The default settings for
DIP Switch S1 are shown in the table 1 on page 6. Detailed descrip-
tions of each switch follow the table.
