1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 1205RC 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 1205RC has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class 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 interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 1205RC
does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the power off or removing the card, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-
lowing measures: moving the computing equipment away from the
receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiv-
ing equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equip-
ment and receiver are on different branches).In the event the user
detects intermittent or continuous product malfunction due to nearby
high power transmitting radio frequency equipment, the user is strongly
advised to take the following steps: use only data cables with an exter-
nal outer shield bonded to a metal or metalized connector; and, config-
ure the rear card as shown in section 3.4 of this manual.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 1205RC synchronous modem eliminator
rack card lets two synchronous hosts communicate with each other in
the same room for a fraction of the cost of a pair of high speed
modems. Supporting synchronous data rates of 32, 48, 56, 64, 72,
112, 128 and 144 Kbps, the Model 1205RC can be configured to emu-
late dial-up or leased line service. Maximum distance between the
connected hosts is 300 feet. Timing can be set for internal or external
clock, and all necessary data, clocking and control signals are support-
ed.
The Model 1205RC is designed to mount in Patton’s 2U high, 16-
slot rack chassis, as well as Patton’s 2/4/8-slot desktop Cluster Boxes.
This rack chassis and cluster boxes feature a switchable 120/240 VAC
power supply (optional 48 VDC) and hot swappable function/interface
cards mounted in a mid-plane architecture. Front panel LEDs show
TD, DTR and CD activity for both ports, as well as power. The rear
interface card has two UD-26 connectors for patching to the host
devices.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
This section describes the location and orientation of the Model
1205RC’s configuration switches and jumpers, and provides detailed
instructions for all possible settings.
The Model 1205RC uses a combination of DIP switches and
jumpers that allow configuration to an extremely wide range of applica-
tions. Designed around a mid-plane architecture, the Model 1205RC
incorporates both front and rear cards. Configuration of both may be
necessary. The switches/jumpers are accessible when the cards are
slid out of the rack chassis. Once configured, the Model 1205RC is
designed to operate transparently, without need for frequent re-config-
uration: just set it and forget it!
3.1 FUNCTION CARD CONFIGURATION
All switches and jumpers are located on the Model 1205RC’s PC
board. To access the PC board, loosen the two thumb screws on the
front panel and slide the card out of the chassis. As Figure 1 (below)
illustrates, the DIP switches are located on the “daughterboard” and
the jumpers are located on the main PC board.
3.1.1 FUNCTION CARD DIP SWITCH
The Model 1205RC has one four-position DIP switch mounted on
the daughterboard. Figure 2 (following page) shows the numbering of
the individual switches and their “ON/OFF” positions relative to the
daughterboard.

Figure 1. Model 1205RC board, showing location of switches/jumper
5.2 POWER-UP
There is no power switch on the Model 1205RC: Power is auto-
matically applied to the 1205RC when its card-edge connector makes
contact with the chassis’ mid-plane socket, or when the chassis’ power
supply is turned on. Note: The 1205RC is a “hot swappable” card—it
will not be damaged by plugging it in or removing it while the rack is
powered up.
When the Model 1205RC is powered up, and both ports are pass-
ing data normally, the following LED conditions will exist:
• PWR = green
• TD = blinking red and green
• CD = green
• DTR = green
13

5.0 OPERATION
Once you have configured the Model 1205RC and connected the
cables to host A and host B, you are ready to operate the unit. This
section describes the LED status monitors and power-up procedure.
5.1 LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 1205RC features 13 front panel status LEDs that indi-
cate the condition of the Model 1205RC and the two ports, A & B (see
Figure 9, above):
• The green “PWR” LED glows green when power is applied to the
Model 1205RC through its mid-plane chassis connection.
• Two “TD” LEDs monitor the status of each port’s data transmis-
sion. The red LED glows when the signal is in an idle (negative)
state. The green LED glows when the signal is in a transmitting
(positive) state. Both LEDs will normally blink when data transmis-
sion is occurring.
• Two “CD” LEDs monitor the status of each port’s carrier detect sig-
nal. The red LED glows when the receive channel is not active
(negative condition). The green LED glows when the receive
channel is active (positive condition).
• Two “DTR” LEDs monitor the status of DTR for each port. The red
LED glows to indicate that the host device connected to that port
is not ready to communicate (negative condition). The green LED
glows to indicate that the host device connected to that port is
ready to communicate (positive condition).

3.3 FUNCTION CARD JUMPERS
The Model 1205RC has two ports (Port A and Port B), and each
must be configured independently. Therefore, every function (such as
clocking) has two jumpers associated with it. As Figure 3 (below)
shows, each jumper has three possible positions: strap covering posts
1 & 2, strap covering posts 2 & 3, or strap removed altogether. The
detailed description for each jumper presents all valid strap positions.

The Model 1205RC has six jumpers (JP1,thru JP6) mounted on
the PC board (see Figure 4, below). These jumpers set clocking, carri-
er, and RTS/CTS delay independently for ports A and B.
JP1: RTS/CTS Delay (Port A)
The setting for jumper JP1 determines–with respect to Port A– the
amount of delay between the time the Model 1205RC “sees” RTS and
when it sends CTS. In order to emulate either dial-up or leased line
modems, you can set this strap at either 0 msec, 7 msec or 53 msec.
JP1 Setting
Position 1&2 7 msec Delay (factory default)
Position 2&3 53 msec Delay
Strap Removed 0 msec Delay
JP6: RTS/CTS Delay (Port B)
The setting for jumper JP6 determines–with respect to Port B– the
amount of delay between the time the Model 1205RC “sees” RTS and
when it sends CTS. In order to emulate either dial-up or leased line
modems, you can set this strap at either 0 msec, 7 msec or 53 msec.

4.3 HOST (DTE) CONNECTION
The Model 1205RC rear card has two UD-26 connectors, labeled
“A1” and “B1” (see figure 7, below). These correspond to host (DTE)
connection Port A and Port B, as discussed in Section 3.0.
To connect V.35 host (DTE) devices A and B to the Model
1205RC, follow these instructions:
1. Configure the Model 1205RC for your specific application accord-
ing to the instructions in Section 3.0 of this manual.
2. Connect host devices A and B to the Model 1205RC using multi-
pair adapter cables (see Appendix B for a list of custom adapter
cables available from Patton Electronics). Observe the following
conditions when making connections :
a) Each multipair cable must not exceed 150 feet in length
(see Figure 8, below).
b) If external clock is used, the host (DTE) device supplying the
clock must be connected to Port A. The Model 1205RC
cannot receive an external clock on Port B (see Section 3.0
for configuration details).
c) If receive clock is used on Port B, Port A must supply an
external clock (see Section 3.0 for configuration details).
11
Notice! Any terminal cable connected to the Model
1205RC must be shielded cable, and the outer shield must
be 360 degree bonded–at both ends–to a metal or metal-
ized backshell.

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, a red front panel LED will glow.
Since the Model 1000R16 is a “hot swappable” rack, it is not necessary
for any cards to be installed before switching on the power supply.
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 Supplies for fuse and power card
replacement information.
4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 1205RC INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 1205RC is comprised of a front card and a rear card.
The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by
way of mating 50 pin card edge connectors. Use the following steps
as a guideline for installing each Model 1205RC into the rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the
metal rails provided.
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’s almost all the way into 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 power down the rack when you
install or remove a Model 1205RC.
