3.2 NETWORK INTERFACE CONNECTION

The Network Interface is an 8 position modular connector. Connect this port to the RJ-48S jack provided by the digital data service provider. If the Model 2500 Series is being used for private short haul communication, the twisted pair cable will connect to this port. See Appendix D for the pin assignments of this connector.

3.3 CONTROL PORT INTERFACE

The Control Port Interface is an 8 position modular connector. If it is to be used, connect this port to an asynchronous terminal using a shielded cable. See Section 4.4 for control port operation.

3.4 POWER

The model 2500 series has a built-in powers supply that is factory configured for either 115 or 230 VAC, depending on how the product is ordered. This power supply is equipped with a shrouded male IEC-320 power entry connector, and is available with a variety of domestic and international power cords (see Appendix C).

In order for the Model 2500 Series unit to operate, the power cord (supplied) must be attached to the power entry connector on the rear of the unit and plugged into an outlet that is easily accessible. The power switch on the rear of the unit must also be turned ON.

WARNING! There are no user-serviceable parts in the power supply section of the Model 2500 Series. Voltage setting changes and fuse replacement should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Contact Patton Electronics Technical support at (301)975-1007 for more information.

4.0 CONFIGURATION

Before you can operate your Model 2500 Series CSU/DSU, you must configure the unit. Configuration may be done using the externally accessible hardware switches or by using the software switches. Software switches can be accessed from the front panel control port using a VT-100 type RS-232 terminal that responds to ANSI escape sequences.

4.1 CONFIGURATION USING HARDWARE SWITCHES

The Model 2500 Series defaults to the use of hardware switches for configuration. The unit can also use software switches for configuration (see Section 4.3), in which case the hardware switches will be ignored.

Note: If you are attempting to configure the unit using hardware switches and find they are being ignored, you will need to override the software switches and force the unit back into hardware switch mode. To do this, power-up the unit once with the Line Rate (SW1- 1, 1-2,1-3) set to Off, Off, Off. Then set the hardware switches as you require and power-up the unit again.

The hardware configuration mode for the Model 2500 Series uses sixteen externally accessible DIP switches. Figure 1 (below) shows the location of the Model 2500 Series' DIP switches.

The Model 2500 Series’ DIP switches can be configured as either “On” or “Off”. Figure 2 (opposite page) shows the orientation of the DIP switches with respect to ON/OFF positions.
