2.2DESCRIPTION

The Model 1060 Series asynchronous short range modem is equipped with a virtual wish list of “bells and whistles”: Point-to-point or multipoint applications are supported. Two separate control signals may be passed (one each way), each with switch-selectable pin assignments. Data lines are protected from ground loops and electrically volatile environments by optical isolation and Silicon Avalanche Diodes. System integrity can be evaluated using two built-in test modes: local analog loopback and remote analog loopback. Tri- state LEDs monitor transmit data, receive data and control signals. Finally, 4-wire connections may be made using either RJ-11 jack or terminal blocks—both are included.

In addition, the Model 1060 is perfect for low power RS-232 environments. The new Model 1060 is AC powered, and therefore is the recommended solution for RS-232 environments whose interface voltages are below RS-232 specifications. The Model 1060 supports data rates to 115.2 Kbps and extends RS-232 transmission distances up to 14 miles over two twisted pair.

The Model 1060 is housed in a sturdy metal case and comes with either 115 or 220V external transformers. This is the top-of-the-line in asynchronous short range modems.

3.0 CONFIGURATION

The Model 1060 features externally accessible configuration switches, located on the underside of the unit; there is no need to open the case to configure the Model 1060. Figure 1 (below) shows the location of the DIP switch set, as well as the two DCE/DTE switches.

3.1 "QUICK SET-UP" INSTRUCTIONS

In the majority of applications, you won't need an in-depth knowledge of the Model 1060's capabilities to get up and running. The following "quick set-up" DIP switch configurations cover most Model 1060 operating environments. (Note: DIP switch 8 not used)

3.1.1 POINT-TO-POINT CONFIGURATION

If you are installing these units in a point-to-point application with a computer, printer or terminal, configure the DIP switches on both Model

1060s as follows:

Switch Number:	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Positions	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	ON	ON	OFF
