2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 2025 Parallel to Serial Converters automatically convert RS-232 serial data to parallel data format and vice versa. Incorporating advanced microprocessor technology, the Model 2025 is able to automatically sense and select parallel and serial modes, as well as DTE/DCE modes. The Model 2025 requires no AC power and supports serial data rates from 300 to 38,400 bps.

For easy configuration, the Model 2025 features a convenient set of configuration switches. The configuration switches allow the user to control baud rate, parity, word length and flow control. An easy-to-read LED indicator displays status and operating condition.

Housed in an ultra-miniature ABS plastic case, the Model 2025 measures only 2.62” x 1.26” x .76”. The Patton Model 2025 comes equipped with a DB-25 female connector on the serial side, and a Centronics 36 pin male connector on the parallel side. A six foot integral cable is also included.

3.0 CONFIGURATION

The Model 2025 is simple to install and designed for excellent reliability: just set it and forget it. The following instructions will help you set up and install the converters properly. If you have any questions, please call Patton Technical Support at (301) 975-1007.

3.1 CONFIGURATION SWITCHES

The Model 2025 uses a set of eight external DIP switches (see Figure 1) that allow configuration to a wide range of applications. Because all eight switches are in one externally accessible DIP switch package, there is no need to open the case for configuration. The configuration switches allow you to select data rates, parity, word length and flow control selection. The following section describes all switch locations, positions and functions.
