This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modifi- cation. If this product fails or does not perform as warranted, your sole recourse shall be repair or replacement as described above. Under no condition shall Patton Electronics be liable for any damages incurred by the use of this product. These damages include, but are not limited to, the following: lost profits, lost savings and incidental or consequen- tial damages arising from the use of or inability to use this product. Patton Electronics specifically disclaims all other warranties, expressed or implied, and the installation or use of this product shall be deemed an acceptance of these terms by the user.

1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 1017 generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and tele- vision reception. The Model 1017 has been tested and found to com- ply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interfer- ence will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 1017 does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter- mined by disconnecting the modem, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).

1.2 SERVICE

All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics Technical Service at (301) 975-1007. Packages received without an RMA number will not be accepted.

Patton Electronics' technical staff is also available to answer any questions that might arise concerning the installation or use of your Model 1017. Technical Service hours: 8AM to 5PM EST, Monday through Friday.

2.2DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 1017 MacXtend II Short Range Modem allows a Macintosh to communicate with any serial printer, terminal server or PC clone at distances up to 9 miles over two unconditioned twisted pair. Supporting full duplex asynchronous data rates to 19.2 Kbps, the Model 1017 requires no AC power or batteries. Built-in transformer isolation provides protection against ground potential differences and AC/DC over-voltages, making the Model 1017 ideal for connections between two buildings.

Measuring only 2.0” x 1.7” x .8”, the Model 1017 is housed in an ABS plastic case. Connection to the Mac serial (phone) port is achieved using an 8-pin mini Din connector at the end of a 1 foot extension cable. Connection to the twisted pair interface is made through either a modular RJ-11 or an RJ-45 jack. The serial device at the other end of the twisted pair cable can be connected to the Model 1017 using a Patton Model 1010 (DB-25), 1016 (DB-15), 1019 (DB-9) or another Model 1017. The surge protected Model 1017S incorpo- rates Silicon Avalanche Diodes, which provide 600 watts per wire of protection against harmful transient surges.

1017, 1017S specifications

The Patton Electronic 1017S and 1017 are robust communication devices designed to provide reliable and efficient data transmission over various types of networks. These models are part of Patton's versatile line of products tailored for businesses that require seamless connectivity solutions in their operations.

One of the main features of the 1017 Series is its support for multiple interfaces, which allows for integration into diverse network environments. The 1017S variant is especially noted for its support of Serial-to-Ethernet conversions, enabling legacy serial devices to communicate over modern Ethernet networks. This makes it an excellent choice for industries that rely on older equipment but wish to enhance connectivity without investing in entirely new systems.

The 1017 model includes advanced technologies such as digital signal processing and robust error correction mechanisms. These technologies ensure that data is transmitted accurately and with minimal latency, even over challenging conditions. The units are built with an emphasis on reliability, featuring metal housings that provide durability and protection in various deployment scenarios.

Both models support a range of communication protocols, including RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422, making them highly adaptable to different operational requirements. This is crucial for organizations that utilize various protocols within their networks and need devices that can accommodate these differences seamlessly.

The configuration of the 1017S and 1017 models is user-friendly, featuring a web-based interface that simplifies setup and management. This ensures that even users with limited technical backgrounds can easily configure and maintain their devices. Additionally, the provision for firmware updates allows for ongoing enhancements and feature upgrades, protecting the investment for years to come.

Another notable characteristic of these models is their support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This feature enables the devices to receive power through the Ethernet cable, reducing clutter and the need for additional power supplies, thus streamlining installation and maintenance processes.

In conclusion, the Patton Electronic 1017S and 1017 models are reliable communication devices that provide essential features for modern networking needs. With their multiple interface support, advanced technology integration, user-friendly configurations, and PoE capability, they stand out as strong contenders for businesses looking to enhance their data communication strategies.
