4.1 SINGLE FIBER CONNECTION

These short range modems are designed to work in pairs. You will need one at each end of single multi-mode fiber cable. Depending upon the data rate setting you select, your cable may be a maximum of

2.5or 5 Km long. The fiber cable connects to each Model 1180 using either an ST or an SMA connector. Figure 5 shows a close up of both connector types.

4.2 RS-232 CONNECTION

The Model 1180 is configured as a DCE. Therefore it wants to connect to a DTE. When connecting the Model 1180 to DTE hardware such as a PC, host or terminal, use a straight through RS-232 cable. When connecting the Model 1180 to DCE hardware such as a modem, multiplexer or printer, use a null modem RS-232 cable. The diagrams below show some typical RS-232 null modem wiring configurations. Consult your hardware user manual for the specific pin configuration you need.
