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.

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.
