4.2 CONNECTION TO THE 4-WIRE INTERFACE
The Model 1012AR offers RJ-11 and RJ-45 options for connection of the 4-wire data line. The signals/pins used are shown below:
RJ-11 | SIGNAL | RJ-45 | | SIGNAL |
1 ------------ | GND† | 1 ----------- | N/C |
2 ------------ | RCV- | 2 ----------- | GND |
3 ------------ | XMT+ | 3 ----------- | RCV- |
4 ------------ | XMT- | 4 ----------- | XMT+ |
5 ------------ | RCV+ | 5 ----------- | XMT- |
6 ------------ | GND | | 6 ----------- | RCV+ |
| | | 7 ----------- | GND |
| | | 8 ----------- | N/C |
†Connection to ground is optional | | | |

4.2.1 POINT-TO-POINT CONNECTION
When installing two Model 1012AR units in a point-to-point appli- cation, the cable between them should be a crossover cable, as shown in the following chart. The color/pin number correlations below corre- spond to AT&T’s wiring standard for RJ-11 connectors.
SIGNAL | PIN# | COLOR | COLOR | PIN# | SIGNAL |
GND† | 1 | Blue‡ -------------- | White | 6 | GND |
RCV- | 2 | Yellow ------------ | Red | 4 | XMT- |
XMT+ | 3 | Green ------------ | Black | 5 | RCV+ |
XMT- | 4 | Red --------------- | Yellow | 2 | RCV- |
RCV+ | 5 | Black ------------- | Green | 3 | XMT+ |
GND | 6 | White ------------- | Blue | 1 | GND |

4.3 MULTIPOINT CONNECTION
The Model 1012AR supports multi-point applications using either a star or a daisy chain topology. together in a master/slave arrange- ment. Maximum distance between the units will vary based upon the number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Technical Support for specific distance estimates. In both topologies, the master unit should be set to “transmitter constantly on” (strap removed), and the slaves should be set to “transmitter controlled by RTS” (strap in place).
