3.0 CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW

The Model 1140 is fairly simple to install and is ruggedly designed for excellent reliability: just set it and forget it. The following instructions will help you set up and install the Model 1140 properly. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call B&B’s Technical Support Department at (815) 433-5100 (8-5 PM, CST).

3.1 CONFIGURATION SWITCHES

The Model 1140 uses a unique set of 16 external mini DIP switches that allow configuration to an extremely wide range of applications. These 16 DIP switches are grouped in two eight-switch sets, and are externally accessible from the underside of the Model 1140 (see Figure 1). Since all configuration DIP switches are externally accessible, there is no need to open the Model 1140's case for configuration.

The configuration switches allow you to select data rates, clocking methods, V.52 & V54 tests, word lengths, extended signaling rates, async. or sync. mode. The drawings, text and tables on the following pages describe all switch locations, positions and functions.
