2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1004A High Speed, Multipoint Short Range Modem
provides exceptional versatility in a compact package. Requiring no AC
power or batteries for operation, the Model 1004A supports
asynchronous RS-232 data rates to 115.2 Kbps over one or two
unconditioned twisted pair. Distances up to 15.0 miles are attainable at
lower data rates (1.2 Kbps, 19 AWG twisted pair).
The Model 1004A can handle up to 50 terminal drops in a
multipoint polling environment. For RS-485 and serial printer
applications requiring hardware handshaking, the Model 1004A passes
one control signal in each direction. The Model 1004A may be
configured for high or low impedance operation, carrier may be set to
"constantly on" or "controlled by RTS", and the unit can operate with or
without "echo". RTS/CTS delay may be set for "no delay" or 8 mS.
Options for twisted pair connection include terminal blocks with
strain relief, RJ-11, RJ-45 and dual modular connectors for daisy
chaining. Silicon Avalanche Diodes provide 600 watts per wire of
protection against harmful data line transient surges.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 1004A is configured using an eight position DIP switch
and a DCE/DTE switch. Figure 1 (below) shows the location of the
DCE/DTE switch (externally accessible) on the PC board, as well as
the power supply daughterboard and terminal block.
