AT&T, Sprint and MCI. Dedicated models can also be used as a high speed modem for private twisted pair. The Model 2500RC Series is available in standalone or in rack- card versions (only rack card versions are covered in this manual).
Before you can install and operate your Model 2500RC Series CSU/DSU, you must configure both the front and rear cards. The Model 2500RC Series has two sets of eight switches (S1 and S2), a reversible interface driver board and two Rotary Address switches (MSD and LSD).

Switch S1-4: Circuit Assurance The transmitter and the CTS output can be configured to go On only when a working communication circuit is established. If Circuit Assurance is used, enable it on only one end of the communication link. Circuit Assurance should be enabled in Switched 56 mode. Circuit S1-4 Assurance...

Switches S2-1, S2-2 and S2-3: Rate Adapter/DTE Rate The Model 2500RC Series includes a rate adapter that allows the unit to be used with DTE devices that support rates lower than 56/64 kbps. All switch settings below are valid for line rates of 56 or 64 kbps.
If you plan to use the software control port to configure or dial the Model 2500RC Series unit, you will need to configure each front card with a unique address. This is done by using a small screw driver to set the two rotary switches, as shown in Figure 4, below.

Choosing option 5 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Data Format Menu (below). This option controls whether an async-to- sync conversion is performed between the DTE and the Model 2500RC Series. (Data is always transferred synchronously between two Model 2500RC Series units.) For an asynchronous DTE, select the...

Choosing option 8 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the DTE Loop Control Menu (below). The local and remote loopbacks on the Model 2500RC Series can be controlled from the DTE interface by raising or lowering the LL and RL signals. To allow the DTE to control these loopbacks in this manner, enable this option.

RTS off internally. This allows the rest of the multidrop network to resume operation. The Model 2500RC Series holds RTS off until the terminal drops RTS. The timer interval decreases as the line rate increases.
3.3 REAR CARD CONFIGURATION The Model 2500RC Series has two interface card options: the Model 1000RCM12548 (DB-25/RJ-48S) and the Model 1000RCM13448 (M/34/RJ-48S). Each of these options supports one interface connection and one 4-wire connection. Figure 5 (below) illustrates the two different interface options for the Model 2500RC Series.
Position 2&3 = SGND and FRGND Not Connected This section describes the functions of the Model 1000R16 rack chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 2500RC Series cards into the chassis, and provides diagrams for wiring the interface connections correctly.
4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 2500RC SERIES INTO THE CHASSIS The Model 2500RC Series is comprised of a front card and a rear card. The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following...
Model 2500RC Series receiver does not detect a signal from the digital service provider (or, in the case of short-haul operation, from the remote Model 2500RC Series). If NS is lit, check for an unplugged cable, broken wire or an incorrect Line Rate selection.
5.2.2 Displaying Line/Loop Status To check the current status of the Model 2500RC Series and the associated circuit, go to the Main Menu and select item 4, “Display Line/Loop Status” . This will take you to a screen similar to the Line/Loop Status Monitor Screen (below).

(using one operator). The following example requires two operators–one to initiate and monitor the test at the local Model 2500RC Series, and one at the remote Model 2500RC Series. To use the V.52 BER test by itself, both operators should simultaneously follow these steps: Locate the “511/511E”...
After dialing the number, the Model 2500RC Series will display the message, “Dialing” and then display each number as it is dialed. The Model 2500RC Series will then prompt the user to wait while the connection is made. One of the following messages will then be displayed to indicate the success or failure or the connection: •...
APPENDIX B CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS The Patton Model 2500RC Series operates at frequencies of 20kHz or less and has been performance tested by Patton technicians using twisted-pair cable with the following characteristics: Wire Gauge Capacitance 19 AWG 83nf/mi or 15.72 pf/ft.
