1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 1110 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
television reception. The Model 1110 has been tested and found to
comply 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
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 1110
does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by disconnecting the RS-232 interface, 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).

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 1110 miniature RS-232 fiber optic modem brings
fiber to the desktop. Communicating over dual optical fibers, the Model
1110 supports data rates to 19.2 Kbps and distances to 1 mile. The
Model 1110 operates full or half duplex and plugs directly into a
workstation’s RS-232 port.
Like all fiber optic modems, the Model 1110 is inherently immune to
RFI/EMI noise, ground loops and transient surges. The carrier may be
switch selected as either “Continuously On” or “Controlled by RTS”,
while an easily accessible DCE/DTE switch eliminates the need for
cumbersome RS-232 crossover cables. Two easy-to-read LED
indicators monitor the status of carrier detect and fiber optic output.
Drawing all necessary power from the RS-232 interface, the Model
1110 requires no AC power or batteries to operate.
Measuring only 2.66” x 2.10” x .73”, the Model 1110 is able to fit
into tight installation spaces. A convenient pop-open/snap-shut ABS
plastic case allows easy access to configuration switches. On the
RS-232 side, the Model 1110 comes equipped with either a male or
female DB-25 connector; on the fiber side, it is available with a choice
of SMA or ST connectors.
