from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product
should it fail within one year from the first date of shipment.
This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials,
and does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized
modification. If this product fails or does not perform as warranted,
your sole recourse shall be repair or replacement as described
above. Under no condition shall B&B Electronics be liable for any
damages incurred by the use of this product. These damages
include, but are not limited to, the following: lost profits, lost savings
and incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of or
inability to use this product. B&B Electronics specifically disclaims
all other warranties, expressed or implied, and the installation or
use of this product shall be deemed an acceptance of these terms
by the user.
1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 1110 generates and uses radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to
radio and television reception. The Model 1110 has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a CIass A computing device
in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC
rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from
such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If the Model 1110 does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the power off or
disconnecting the RS-232 interface, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one of the following measures: moving
the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the
receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a
different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and
receiver are on different branches).

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1110 miniature RS-232 fiber optic modem brings
fiber to the desktop. Communicating over dual optical fibers, the
Model 1110 supports data rates to 19.2 Kbps and distances to 3.2
Km (2 miles). The Model 1110 operates full or half duplex and
plugs directly into a workstation's RS-232 port.
Like all fiber optic modems, the Model 1110 is inherently
immune to RFI/EMI noise, ground loops and transient surges. The
carrier may be switch selected as either “Continuously On” or
“Controlled by RTS”, while an easily accessible DCE/DTE switch
eliminates the need for cumbersome RS-232 crossover cables. Two
easy-to-read LED indicators monitor the status of carrier detect and
fiber optic output. Drawing all necessary power from the RS-232
interface, the Model 1110 requires no AC power or batteries to
operate.

Measuring only 6.8 x 5.3 x 1.9 cm (2.66” x 2.10" x .73"), the
Model 1110 is able to fit into tight installation spaces. A convenient
pop-open/snap-shut ABS plastic case allows easy access to
configuration switches. On the RS-232 side, the Model 1110 comes
equipped with either a male or female DB-25 connector; on the
fiber side, it is available with a choice of SMA or ST connectors.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 1110 is simple to install and is ruggedly designed for
excellent reliability: just set it and forget it. This section will describe
how to configure the Model 1110's DCE/DTE switch and how to set
the internal DIP switches.
3.1 SETTING THE EXTERNAL DCE/DTE SWITCH
For your convenience, the Model 1110 has an externally
accessible DCE/DTE switch (see Figure 1, below). If the device
connected to the Model 1110 is a PC, terminal or host computer (or
is wired like one), set the switch to “DCE". This causes the Model
1110 to behave like Data Communications Equipment and transmit
data on pin 3. If the device connected to the Model 1110 is a
modem or multiplexer (or is wired like one), set the switch to “DTE".
This setting causes the Model 1110 to behave like Data Terminal
Equipment and transmit data on pin 2.
Figure 1. Externally accessible DCE/DTE switch
3.2 SETTING INTERNAL DIP SWITCHES
The Model 1110's eight internal DIP switches allow configuration
of flow control and LED options. To set the internal switches, follow
these steps:
1) Open the Model 1110 case by inserting a small flat-blade
screwdriver between the case lip and DB-25 connector and twisting
gently (see Figure 2).
2) Having exposed the Model 1110 PC board, you will see the
miniature DIP switch packet on the underside of the board, on the
side opposite the DCE/DTE switch.
3) To set the switches, use a small screwdriver and gently push
each switch to its proper setting. The ON position is printed on the
switch packet.
4) Fit the case halves together and push to snap closed.

4.0 INSTALLATION
The Model 1110 is easy to install. After configuring the DIP
switches, simply connect the two fiber cables and then connect the
RS-232 interface. Figure 3 below shows the location of the fiber
connections on the Model 1110's rear panel.
Figure 3. Rear panel of Model 1110 showing fiber connections.
4.1 FIBER CONNECTIONS
The Model 1110 short range modems are designed to work in
pairs. You will need one at each end of a dual fiber cable. This
cable connects to each Model 1110 using either an ST or an SMA
connector. Figure 4 below shows a close up of each of these
connector types.
Figure 4. Close-up of ST and SMA connections.
4.2 RS-232 CONNECTION
Because the Model 1110 is designed to behave as either a DCE
or a DTE device, a does not need special cables to operate. Always
use a straight through RS-232 cable.
