2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 1012ARC is a miniature rack card designed to
house two asynchronous short range modems. Operating full or half
duplex at data rates to 38.4 Kbps, the Model 1012ARC supports point-
to-point or multidrop applications and offers automatic equalization and
gain control. The Model 1012ARC supports distances up to 6 miles
over two twisted pair. Built-in transformer isolation and surge
protection provide protection against ground potential differences and
AC/DC over-voltages, making the Model 1012ARC ideal for
connections between two buildings.
The Model 1012ARC is designed to mount in Patton’s Model
1000R16P rack chassis. This 16-card chassis has a switchable
120/240 volt power supply and uses mid-plane architecture: The front
card can be plugged into different rear cards. This means that the
1012ARC can have several interface options, and can be switched with
other Patton short haul cards. The rear card is available with an RJ-45
connection for each RS-232 channel and either RJ-11 or RJ-45
connections for twisted pair.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 1012ARC rack card is easy to set up since there are
only two configuration straps. Figure 1 (below) shows the location of
these straps on the Model 1012ARC PC board.
3.1 MOVING THE CONFIGURATION STRAPS
Figure 2 shows how to move the configuration straps. Note that the
Model 1012ARC only has two pegs, thus the straps can only be
“installed” or “removed”. The rear card uses three pegs, and can be on
either pegs 1 and 2, or pegs 2 and 3.
3.2 SETTING THE RTS/DCD STRAPS
Each RTS/DCD strap affects one of your modems. Their setting
determines how the respective transmitters (i.e., carrier) are activated.
When these straps are installed, the Model 1012ARC transmitter is
CONTROLLED CARRIER. When these straps are removed, the
transmitter is CONSTANT CARRIER. Each strap may be configured
separately.

3.3 REAR CARD CONFIGURATION
After you have configured the Model 1012ARC, you will need to set
up your rear card. The Model 1012ARC has two interface card options:
the 1Q11 (which comes equipped with two RJ-11 ports and two RJ-45
ports) and the 1Q45 (which comes equipped with four RJ-45 ports).
Figure 3 illustrates these two different options.
Prior to installation, you should examine the rear card you have
selected and ensure that it is configured for your application. Each rear
card is configured by setting straps on the PC board. Section 3.4
describes the strap locations and settings for each card.
3.4 REAR CARD STRAP SETTINGS
Figure 4 shows the strap locations for the 1Q11 and the 1Q45 rear
cards. These straps determine various grounding characteristics for
the RS-232 and twisted pair lines.
5
The table below provides a summary of strap functions for both of
the rear cards. Following Figure 5 is a description of each strap and its
function.
JB2 & JB4: Line A Shield & Line B Shield
This strap pertains to the line interface. In the connected (closed)
position, the strap links RJ-11 pins 1 and 6 (RJ-45 pins 2 and 7) to
frame ground. These pins can be used as connections for the twisted
pair cable shield. In the open (disconnected) position, pins 1 and 6 (or
2 and 7) remain connected, but are “lifted” from frame ground.

JB6 & JB7: DTE as DSR or RI
Because this rear card is designed to function with a variety of rack
cards, it comes equipped with two strap positions. However, when
used with the Model 1012ARC, this strap must be installed only in one
position. Place the jumper across pins 1&2 so that the terminal (DTE)
sees DSR as high when the DTE raises DTR. The other positions—
across pins 2&3, are for Ring Indicate as defined by EIA/TIA-561. The
RI function is irrelevant (and on the Model 1012ARC is also
disconnected) and can cause improper operation if the jumper is
installed incorrectly.

4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the functions of the Model 1000R16 rack
chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 1012ARC cards and
provides diagrams for correctly wiring the interface connections.
4.1 THE MODEL 1000R16 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1000R16 Rack Chassis (Figure 5) has sixteen short
range modem card slots, plus its own power supply. Measuring only
3.5” high, the Model 1000R16 occupies only 2U in a 19” rack. Sturdy
front handles allow the Model 1000R16 to be transported conveniently.
4.1.1 The Rack Power Supply
The power supply included in the Model 1000R16 rack uses the
same mid-plane architecture as the modem cards. The front card of
the power supply slides in from the front, and the rear card slides in
from the rear. They plug into one another in the middle of the rack.
The front card is then secured by thumb screws and the rear card by
conventional metal screws.

Figure 5. Model 1000R16 Rack Chassis with power supply
WARNING! There are no user-serviceable parts in the
power supply section of the Model 1012ARC Series.
Voltage setting changes and fuse replacement should only
be performed by qualified service personnel. Contact
Patton Electronics Technical support at [phone] for
more information.

Switching the Power Supply On and Off
The power supply on/off switch is located on the front panel.
When plugged in and switched on, the power LED will glow. Since the
Model 1000R16 is “hot swappable”, you do not need to turn off the
power before removing rack cards. The power supply may be switched
off at any time without harming the installed cards.
NOTE: Please refer to the Model 1000RP Series User Manual AC
and DC Rack Mount Power Supplie s for fuse and power card
replacement information.
4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 1012ARC INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 1012ARC is comprised of a front card and a rear card.
The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other
via mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following steps to
install each Model 1012ARC into the Model 1000R16 rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal
rails.
2. Secure the rear card using the metal screws provided.
3. Slide the card into the front of the chassis. It should meet the rear
card when it is almost in the chassis.
4. Push the front card
gently into the card-edge receptacle of the
rear card. It should “click” into place.
5. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
NOTE: Since the Model 1000R16 chassis allows “hot swapping” of
cards, it is
not necessary to turn the power off when you install or
remove a Model 1012ARC.
4.3 TERMINAL INTERFACE CONNECTION
The RS-232 ports are always the
lower ports on the interface card.
The 10-pin RJ-45 is pinned according Patton’s Modified Modular
Interface Standard (based on the EIA/TIA-561Standard). For specific
interface pin-outs, please refer to the diagrams in Appendix D.
The Model 1012ARC is wired as a DCE (Data Circuit-Terminating
Equipment). Therefore, it wants to connect to a DTE (Data Termination
Equipment). If your RS-232 output device is a DTE, you may need to
use a special cable (such as a DB-25 to modular cable). If your
RS-232 output device is DCE, call Technical Support at
[phone] for specific installation instructions.
9
4.4 TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION
The Model 1012ARC operates over two twisted pair. In
all
applications, the twisted pair wire must be 26 AWG or thicker,
unconditioned, dry metallic wire. Both shielded and unshielded wire
yield favorable results. Note: The Model 1012ARC can only
communicate in a closed data circuit with another Model 1012ARC.
Dial-up analog circuits, such as those used with a standard Hayes-type
modem, are not acceptable. For further information about acceptable
wire grades, please refer to the diagrams in Appendix B.
4.4.1 POINT-TO-POINT TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION
The 6-position RJ-11 and 8-position RJ-45 jack options for the
Model 1012ARC (always the upper jack on the rear interface card) are
pre-wired for a standard TELCO wiring environment. Connection of a
4-wire twisted pair circuit between two or more Model 1012ARCs
requires a crossover cable as shown in the following charts.

4.4.2 MULTIPOINT TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION
The Model 1012ARC supports multipoint applications using a star
topology. Maximum distance between the units will vary based upon
the number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Patton Technical
Support for specific distance estimates. Figure 6 shows how to wire
the cables properly for a Model 1012ARC star topology. Note that the
ground connection is not needed.
11
5.0 OPERATION
Once you have configured each Model 1012ARC and connected
the cables, you are ready to operate the units. Section 5.0 describes
the LED status monitors and the power-up procedure.
5.1 LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 1012ARC features thirteen front panel status LEDs that
indicate the condition of the modem and communication link. Figure 8
shows the relative front panel positions of the LEDs. Following Figure
8 is a description of each LED’s function.
• The “PWR” LED glows when power is being applied to the
modem card through its mid-plane chassis connection.
• The “TD” and “RD” indicators glow green to show a positive
voltage on the interface, and glow red to show negative voltage or
an idle data state.
• The “CD” indicators glow green to show a positive voltage on the
interface, and glow red to show negative voltage or an idle data
state.

5.2 POWER-UP
There is no power switch on the Model 1012ARC: Power is
automatically applied to the Model 1012ARC when its card-edge
connector makes contact with the chassis’ mid-plane socket, or when
the chassis’ power supply is turned on. The Model 1012ARC is a “hot
swappable” card—it will not be damaged by plugging it in or removing
it while the rack’s power supply is switched on.
When the local and remote Model 1012ARCs are both powered up and
are passing data normally , the following LED conditions will exist:
• PWR = solid green
• TD & RD = flashing
• CD = solid green
