2.2 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The
NetLink-T1™ Model 2710RC Series are single port T1/FT1
CSU/DSUs that provide high-speed WAN connectivity in a rack card
package. Plugging directly into the serial WAN port of a switch, router
or multiplexer, the NetLink-T1™ provides T1 or FT1 access at connec-
tion at data rates of 1.544 Mbps, nx64, and nx56 (n=1 to 24 channels).
The Netlink-T1™ is an excellent choice when terminating leased line
services, Frame Relay backbones, internet access as well as LAN-to-
LAN services.
The Netlink-T1™ provides digital access to a local WAN service
provider or directly between two facilities over a dedicated 4-Wire cir-
cuit. WAN bandwidth, framing and coding options are programmed via
internally accessible DIP switches or via a VT-100 type terminal using
a Model 1001CC control card. With a 1001CC card, a terminal can
manage addressable 2710RC cards using menu driven controls. The
Netlink-T1™ supports D4/ESF framing options and AMI/B8ZS/B7ZS
line coding. Netlink-T1™ also supports a full range of system and
diagnostic features that make system setup easy.
The NetLink-T1™ provides T1 terminations over a modular RJ-48C
jack and comply with jitter tolerance capabilities as specified in ANSI
T1.403 and AT&T TR62411. Power options include a single AC or DC
or redundant AC/DC.
3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2710RC features configuration capability via hardware
DIP switches or a software control port. This section describes all pos-
sible hardware and software switch configurations of the NetLink-T1™.
3.1 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The Model 2710RC has two eight bit DIP switches and two rotary
DIP switches that allow configuration for a wide range of applications.
The switches are accessed by removing the card from the chassis.
Figure 1 shows the location of the DIP switches on the top of the board.
DIP switches S1 and S2 can be configured as “On” or “Off”. Figure
2 shows the ON/OFF positions orientation of the DIP switches. Default
position and descriptions for S1 and S2 are provided on the next page.

NOTE: The Model 2710RC is shipped in switch configuration mode. If you need to
access the software configuration menu, a Patton Model 101CC proxy card is needed.
The 1001CC is installed in the Model 1001 Patton Rack and can manage all 2710RC
cards in the rack. (See section 3.3 for more information on software configuration.)
To change the 2710RC from sofware to switch configuration, you need to perform a hard-
ware reset on the 2710RC. A hardware reset is done by setting all S1 switches to the ON
position, power the 2710RC on (insert card on a live 1001 rack), wait for five seconds, pull
the card out and set S1 switches to the desired settings, reinsert card in the rack.
