NOTE:	S1-4 must be “On.”

4.0 INSTALLATION

Once the Model IM 1/F is properly configured, it is ready to install into a PE 1090 or 1092. This section tells you how to properly connect the Model IM 1/F.

4.1 CONNECTION TO THE MODEM’S SERIAL PORT

The QuickConnectTM module has a 50 pin card edge connector on one side and an RJ-45 connector on the other side. Figure 4 shows how a QuickConnectTM module plugs into the back of a Patton Electronics Model 1090 or Model 1092.

4.2 CONNECTION TO THE TWISTED PAIR INTERFACE

The Model IM 1/F supports communication between itself and a G.703 PCM network at distances up to 4,000 feet (1219m) using 24 AWG twisted pair cable.

To function properly, the Model IM 1/F requires two twisted pairs of metallic wire. These twisted pairs must be unconditioned, dry metal- lic wire, between 22 and 26 AWG (0.4mm to 0.6mm diameter solid conductors). Higher gauge wire may limit distance. Flat modular tele- phone type cable is not acceptable.
