Patton electronic 1017S Connection to the Twisted Pair Interface, Signal PIN# Color ‡

3.0 INSTALLATION

The Model 1017 is easy to install. This section tells you how to properly connect the Model 1017 to the twisted pair interface and Mac phone port, and how to operate the Model 1017.

3.1 CONNECTION TO THE TWISTED PAIR INTERFACE

The Model 1017 supports data-only communication between a Mac and another Mac or another serial device. There are two require- ments for installation:

1.These units work in pairs. You must have one Model 1017 (or a compatible model) at each end of the two twisted pair cable.

2.To function properly, the Model 1017's modular jacks must be con- nected to two twisted pairs of metallic wire. The pairs must be unconditioned, dry metallic wire, between 19 and 26 AWG (the higher number gauges may limit distance). Standard dial-up tele- phone circuits or leased circuits that run through signal equaliza- tion equipment are not acceptable.

For your convenience, the Model 1017 is available with two differ- ent twisted pair interfaces: an RJ-11 jack or an RJ-45 jack.

3.1.1 TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION USING RJ-11 OR RJ-45

The Model 1017's RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors on the twisted pair interface are pre-wired for a standard TELCO wiring environment (see Figure 1). The table on the following page describes the signal/pin relationships.

When connecting two Model 1017s, it is necessary to use a

“crossover” cable. The diagram below shows how a crossover cable should be constructed for an environment where both Model 1017s use a 4-wire R-11 connector. Similar logic should be followed when using an RJ-45 connector or a combination of the two.

3.2 CONNECTION TO THE MAC PHONE PORT

The Model 1017 should be connected to your Mac through the 1 foot extension cable. Simply plug one end of the cable into the Model 1017 and the other end directly into the phone (serial) port of your Mac. The pin-outs are listed below.
