1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION Patton Electronics warrants all Model IM2RC/I-100B 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.
• WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have • Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect nected. For systems without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line voltages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.

This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be repaired by qualified service personnel. WARNING This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to customer premise equipment. WARNING Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
PPP (RFC 1661) with Bridging Control Protocol (RFC 1638). Once installed in the local Patton NetLink rack, the Patton IM2RC/I-100B works in a “plug and play” manner to forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts and frames destined for the peered Ethernet LAN at the remote end (the Patton base unit at the remote end must be equipped with an IM1/I mod- ule).
The Model IM2RC/I-100B is designed to plug directly into the rear of a Patton Electronics rack card modem (i.e. Model 3088RC or 2701RC). The Model IM2RC/I-100B is designed to be used as one of a pair of units. Figure 1 (below) illustrates a typical Model IM2RC/I-100B installa- tion.
3.0 PPP OPERATIONAL BACKGROUND PPP is a protocol used for multi-plexed transport over a point-to-point link. PPP operates on all full duplex media, and is a symmetric peer-to- peer protocol, which can be broken into three main components: 1. A standard method to encapsulate datagrams over serial links;...

Authentication is optional under PPP. In a point-to-point leased-line link, incoming customer facilities are usually fixed in nature, therefore authen- tication is generally not required. The IM2RC/I-100B does not require authentication. It also does not respond to authentication requests. Some networking systems do not define network numbers in packets sent out over a network.
Unit “A” and Unit “B” are arbitrarily chosen. It does not mat- ter which unit is “A”, and which is “B”. 3. When using the IM2RC/I-100B, DISABLE, the “Enable Loop from DTE” Switch on the front function card (3088RC or 2701RC).
2. Lift the old interface board gently off of the printed circuit board. 3. Position the IM2RC/I-100B driver board on top of the function card’s pc board with the sockets oriented toward the male pins. Please be sure the label marked FRONT <–...
This section describes the NetLink Model 1001R14 rack chassis. Included are installation instructions for the IM2RC/I-100B rear card, plus ethernet and line interface connections to the IM2RC/I-100B card. Please refer to the appropriate function card (i.e. 3088RC) user manual to configure and install the function card.
IM2RC/I-100B-100B card or CAUTION the front function card. 1. Slide the IM2RC/I-100B rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails provided. 2. Secure the IM2RC/I-100B rear card using the metal screws pro- vided.
RJ-45 connector. Figure 6 below shows the rear panel and the locations of the connectors. The IM2RC/I-100B Ethernet interface is designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T network. Figure 7 shows the signal/pin relationships on this interface.
5.4 CONNECTING THE LINE INTERFACE The Model IM2RC/I-100B is to be used with Patton function card access products (i.e. 3088RC) There are two essential requirements for con- necting the line interface on Model IM2RC/I-100B: 1. These units work in pairs with one IM2RC/I-100B connected to another IM2RC/I-100B over 2 or 4-Wire Twisted pair (2 or 4-Wire operation is determined by the front function card).
LED status monitors. 6.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS In order to operate, the Model IM2RC/I-100B must be installed in the rack unit. It also requires a 10/100Base-T connection. After power is applied, the IM2RC/I-100B automatically starts performing the bridging function without further user intervention.
