When connecting two Model 1004ARCs, it is necessary to use a
crossover cable. The diagrams below show how a crossover cable
should be constructed for the following environments: 4-wire RJ-11,
4-wire RJ-45, 2-wire RJ-11 or 2-wire RJ-45.

4.4.2 MULTIPOINT TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION
The Model 1004ARC supports multipoint applications using a star
daisy chain topology (Section 3.0 describes proper multipoint configu-
ration). Maximum distance between the units will vary based upon the
number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Patton Technical
Support for specific distance estimates. The diagram below shows how
to wire the two-pair cables properly for a Model 1004ARC star topolo-
gy. Note that the ground connection is not needed.
