1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION Patton Electronics warrants all Model 1068 components to be free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product should it fail within one year from the first date of the shipment. This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modification.
1.3 FCC PART 68 (1068DV ONLY) The Model 1068D is not intended to be connected to the public telephone network. Caution The VLINK port is not intended to be connected to the public telephone network. The 1068DV contains a POTS/ISDN connection that can be connected to the public telephone network.
3. If your Model 1068DV causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance, but if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible and will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION Thank you for your purchase of this Patton Electronics product. This product has been thoroughly inspected and tested and is warranted for one year for parts and labor. If any questions or problems arise during installation or use of this product, contact Patton Electronics Technical Support at +1 (301) 975-1007.

passed transparently (unmodified) through the 1068s. The 1068s automat- ically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the VDSL link that are meant for the remote peered LAN. Figure 1. Typical application The 1068DV/CO and 1068DV/CP work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs.
Because the Model 1068 requires no configuration, it can be installed quickly. If you are installing a standalone unit, refer to section 3.1 “Standal- one unit installation”. Otherwise, refer to section 3.2 “Rack card installation”. Note If asymmetric transmission or line rates other than 12.5 Mbps are required, refer to section 4.0, “Configuration”...
3.2 RACK CARD INSTALLATION The Model 1068 rack card version comprises a front card and a rear card.Do the following to install the cards into the rack chassis: 1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails. 2.
6. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.4, “Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 12). 3.3 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE The Model 1068 supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 6,652 ft (2.03 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
The terminal block connector on the Model 1068's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationships is shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. Model 1068D (Terminal Block) twisted pair line interface. 3.4 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE The shielded RJ-45 port labeled Ethernet is the 10/100Base-T interface.
Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub The Model 1068 10/100Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Ter- minal Equipment), just like a 10/100Base-T network interface card in a PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10/100Base-T Hub using a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
work. The RJ-45 connector in the model 1068’s POTS/ISDN interface is wired as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9. Model 1068DV (RJ-45) POTS/ISDN interface 3.6 CONNECTING POWER An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connec- tion is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Model 1068. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
4.0 CONFIGURATION The Model 1068 has four DIP switches for configuring the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and explains the different configurations. 4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on the underside of the Model 1068 (see Figure 10).

4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S1 DIP switch S1 is where you configure the VDSL line rate, symmetric or asymmetric, Ethernet full auto sense capability (100BaseT full or half duplex, 10BaseT full or half duplex) or limited auto sense (only 100BaseT half duplex, 10BaseT full or half duplex). Table 1 summarizes default positions of DIP switches S1-1 through S1-4.
Once the Model 1068s are properly installed, they should operate trans- parently. No user settings required. This section describes reading the LED status monitors. 5.1 POWER UP Before applying power to the Model 1068, please review section 3.6, “Connecting Power” on page 14 to verify that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source.
