Main Channel Connections, Rts, Cts | Patton electronic 3054, 3058

RTS/CTS Flow Control (Models 3054AR and 3056AR Only)

In addition to software flow control capability, Models 3054AR and 3056AR offer end-to-end RTS/CTS flow control capability. When using RTS/CTS flow control, the RTS and CTS signals are multiplexed into the composite data stream. The multiplexed RTS/CTS signals are then demultiplexed and passed to the appropriate sub-channel device at opposite end.

4.3 MAIN CHANNEL CONNECTIONS

The main channel port on the back of the Model 305X Series is a female RJ-45 modular jack. The primary connection between the two muxes must be dry, unconditioned twisted pair, 19 - 26 AWG (See Appendix B for optimal cable characteristics). The wiring between the wall plates must be crossed over, with pairing as shown below:

	Model 305X Series			Model 305X Series
	RJ-45 Pin No.			RJ-45 Pin No.
Pair 1	{	4	(XMT)	4 (XMT)
		5	(XMT)	5 (XMT)
Pair 2	{	6	(RCV)	6 (RCV)
		3	(RCV)	3 (RCV)

4.4 AC POWER CONNECTION

Power is supplied to the Model 305X Series by a 9-12 VAC, 200mA wall mount transformer. This transformer connects to the Model 305X Series by means of a cannon jack on the rear panel. The Model 305X is powered-up as soon as it is plugged into an AC outlet–there is no power switch.

4.4.1 120 VAC Power (US)

The 120 VAC adapter supplied with the standard version of the Model 305X is a “wall mount” type, and may be plugged into any approved 115 VAC wall plug.

4.4.2 230 VAC Power (IEC)

The 230 VAC adapter supplied with the “international” version of the Model 305X is equipped with an IEC-320 shrouded male connector. This connects with one of several available country-specific power cords (see the ordering information in Appendix C). You may purchase these power cords from Patton Electronics, or from a local vendor of your choice.

5.0 OPERATION

Once the Model 305X Series is properly installed, it should operate transparently. This section describes the LED status indicators, and the built-in loopback test modes.

5.1 LED STATUS INDICATORS

The Model 305X Series feature front panel LEDs that monitor power, the DTE or DCE signals, link status and test modes. Figure 7 (below) shows the front panel location of each LED. Following Figure 7 is a description of each LEDs function.

							Model 3058 8-Channel Limited Distance Multiplexer
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
TD -							Sync./	- Remote Loop
TD -							Link	- Remote Loop
							Link	- Normal
RD -								- Normal
RD -								- Local Loop

TESTS

	(RS-232 Versions: Models 3054A and 3056AR
	only)
Link	glows green to indicate connection to the remote
	multiplexer.
Local	glows green when the local multiplexer enters
Loop	the Local Loop test mode
Remote	glows green when the local multiplexer enters
Loop	the Remote Loop test mode
