1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 2703-X21 generates and uses radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and
television reception. The Model 2703-X21 has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a
commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 2703-
X21 does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting
the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a
different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are
on different branches).
1.2 SERVICE

prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 2703-X21 G.703/E1 Access Converter wears
several hats: As an
access product, the Model 2703-X21 receives
unstructured, synchronous 2.048 Mbps data from a G.703 network and
sends it to a router, bridge, multiplexer or other device. As an
interface
converter, the Model 2703-X21 accepts 120 Ohm twisted pair or 75
Ohm dual coax network connections (both types of interfaces
provided). Then it converts the signals to an X.21 format on a DB-15
connector.
As a
Rate Adapter, the Model 2703-X21 lets a lower bandwidth
device–256 kbps, 512 kbps, or 1.024 Mbps–connect to a 2.048 Mbps
G.703 link. The Model 2703-X21 supports Internal (master) or Network
(slave) clocking. Loopback test is built-in, and front panel LEDs monitor
power, network, master clock and test loop. Several power supply
options are available.
