Installation

Once the Model 3088A is properly configured, it is ready to connect to the twisted pair interface, to the serial port, and to the power source. This section tells you how to make these connections.

Connecting the twisted pair interface

The Model 3088A supports communication between two DTE devices as follows:

Using 24 AWG (0.5 mm) wire up to:

21,500 feet (6.5 km) at 192 kbps

10,000 feet (3.0 km) at 2560 kbps Two things are essential:

1.These units work in pairs. Both units at the end of the twisted pair DSL span must be set for the same DTE rate—one unit set as CO, the other as CP.

2.To function properly, the Model 3088A needs one twisted pair of metallic wire. This twisted pair must be unconditioned, dry, metallic wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm) (the higher number gauges will limit distance). Standard dial-up telephone circuits, or leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment, or standard, flat modular telephone type cable, are not acceptable.

The RJ-45 Line connector on the Model 3088A’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationships are shown in figure 6.
