    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).
  • Page 7: Supported Applications

    2.3 SUPPORTED APPLICATIONS The Model 2500RC Series includes three units: the Model 2500RC All-Rate CSU/DSU, the Model 2510RC Switched 56 CSU/DSU and the Model 2520RC All-Rate/Switched 56 CSU/DSU. Depending upon the unit selected, the Mode 2500RC Series supports three distinct modes of operation.
  • Page 8: Configuration

    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).
  • Page 9 3.1.1 Switch Set “S1” The configuration switches on switch set S1 allow you to specify Line Rate, Circuit Assurance, RTS, Character Length, Data Format and DSR Loop Status. The table below summarizes S1 switch settings, including the factory defaults. Following the table are descriptions of each switch setting.
  • Page 10 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...
  • Page 11 Switch S1-7: Data Format The data format selection controls whether an async-to-sync conversion is performed. S1-7 Data Format Asynchronous Synchronous Switch S1-8: DSR System Status The behavior of the DSR output during performance of a local loop can be controlled. S1-8 Loop Status Description...
  • Page 12 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.
  • Page 13 Normal Extended 3.1.3 Setting the Reversible Interface Driver Board The Model 2500RC Series supports both RS-232 and V.35 electrical interfaces for the terminal connection port. Which electrical interface is active is determined by the orientation of the small reversible daughter board on the front card (see Figure 3, below). The daughter board is clearly marked “THIS SIDE UP FOR RS-232”...
  • Page 14: Front Card Configuration - Software Switches

    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.
  • Page 15 (see Section 3.1.4), and press [RETURN]. (Note: Do not use the universal address [99]. Configure only one card at a time.) The Model 2500RC Series Main Menu should then display on the terminal screen (see below).
  • Page 16 3.2.3 Verifying Software Switch Control In order to use software switches for configuration, it is necessary to disable the hardware switch settings. To do this, use the following procedure (Note: If this procedure is omitted, your software configurations will be overridden by the hardware switch settings): On the Main Menu (opposite page), choose item 1, “Select Hardware/Software Switch Control”.
  • Page 17 For each screen described below, selecting a numbered option and pressing [RETURN] stores that option setting and returns you to the Software Switch Menu (Note: All lettered options must be entered in lower case) Line Rate Choosing option 1 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Line Rate Menu (below).
  • Page 18 Choosing option 4 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Character Length Menu (below). In asynchronous data format, the Model 2500RC Series supports 10-bit and 11-bit character lengths. Set this option according to the characteristics of the data being...
  • Page 19 The extra stop bit reduces the DTE’s effective data rate to allow synchronization with the 56 kbps line speed. Set the Model 2500RC Series for two stop bits by selecting “11 bit character length” in the Character Length Menu.
  • Page 20 DSR Status During Local Loopback Choosing option 6 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the DSR Loop Status Menu (below). This option controls the behavior of the DSR output during local loopback. To force DSR high (ON) during local loopback, enable this option.
  • Page 21 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.
  • Page 22 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.
  • Page 23 RTS/CTS Delay Choosing option “b “ in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the RTS/CTS Delay Menu (below). This option lets you set the RTS/CTS turn-on delay to Normal or Extended. The delay interval decreases as the line rate increases.
  • Page 24: Rear Card Configuration

    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.
