2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Model 1000RC Asynchronous Short Range Modem Rack Card is a dual rack card incorporating two short range modems. Both units operate full duplex at data rates to 19.2 Kbps over 2 twisted pairs and support distances to 17 miles. The Model 1000RC features 13 easy-to-read front panel LEDs, which monitor the status of data transmission. The Model 1000RC also incorporates Silicon Avalanche Diodes for protection against the damaging effects of nearby lightning strikes and other harmful transients.

The Model 1000RC uses the latest surface mount technology to attain high quality short range modem performance in a convenient rack card. Filling one function card slot on Patton’s Model 1000R16P rack chassis, the Model 1000RC is available with RJ-11 or RJ-45 rear interface cards. For workgroup and desktop communications, the Model 1000RC also fits in Patton’s 2, 4 and 8 slot Cluster Boxes. The combination of rack mount, Cluster Box and self-powered units provides a completely integrated Model 1000 “networking” solution.
