3.1 SETTING THE DCE/DTE SWITCH

For your convenience, the Model 2085 has an externally accessible DCE/DTE switch. If the device connected to the Model

2085 is a modem or multiplexer (or is wired like one), set the switch to “DTE”. This setting causes the Model 2085 to behave like Data Terminal Equipment and transmit data on pin 2. If the device connected to the Model 2085 is a PC, terminal or host computer (or is wired like one), set the switch to “DCE”. This setting causes the Model 2085 to behave like Data Communications Equipment and transmit data on pin 3.

3.2 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

The eight switches on switch set S1 (see Figure 3, above) configure the Model 2085 for echo mode, carrier control method, RTS/CTS delay, “transmit off” impedance, receive impedance, and 2- wire/4-wire operation. These switches are located internally on the Model 2085's PC board. To access switch set S1, use a small flat blade screwdriver to pop open the Model 2085's case as shown in Figure 4, below.

S1-1 and S1-2: “Transmit Off” Impedance

Switches S1-1 and S1-2 are set together to determine whether the receiving device “sees” the impedance of the Model 2085’s transmitter as being “high” or “intermediate” when the transmitter is turned off. The “intermediate” setting is useful in half-duplex environments where the receiving device does not respond well to the “high” setting.

S1-3: RTS/CTS Delay

The setting for switch S1-3 determines the amount of delay between the time the Model 2085 “sees” RTS and when it sends CTS. Note: RTS/CTS Delay setting should be based upon transmission timing.
