DIP Switches S1 - S8
The configuration switches on S1 - S8 may be set to allow config-
uration for a wide range of applications. Default settings of S1 through
S8 are shown in the table below. Descriptions of each switch follow
the table.
Switch SW1: Line Coding
Use Switch SW1 to control the Network Line Coding options. Set
these options to be the same as the Line Coding given to you by your
Service Provider. If you are using two Model 2715RCs together as
short range modems, set both units identically, preferably to HDB3.
SW4 Line Framing & Coding
Off HDB3
On AMI
Line Coding Options:
High Density Bipolar 3 (HDB3): In HDB3 coding, the transmitter
deliberately inserts a bipolar violation when excessive zeros in
the data stream are detected. The receiver recognizes these
special violations and decodes them as zeros. This method
enables the network to meet minimum pulse density require-
ments. Use HDB3 unless AMI is required in your application .
Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI): AMI coding does not inherently
account for ones density. To meet this requirement, the user
should ensure that the data inherently meets pulse density
requirements.

Switch SW2: CAS Multiframe
CAS multiframe uses Timeslot 16 (TS16) to send multiframe (MF)
alignment data. In CAS MF, a multiframe is defined as 16 frames,
where a frame consists of 32 64kb/s timeslots, numbered 0 to 31.
TS16 of the first frame in the MF contains the CAS MF alignment word
in the upper four bits. The alignment word is always 0000 (binary). The
2715RC does not perform any signaling in TS16 other than to insert
the MF alignment word, in order to maintain MF alignment. When CAS
MF is disabled, the unit transmits user data in TS16; therefore, up to 31
channels are available for user data. When it is enabled, TS16 is not
available to the user. In this case, the user can use up to 30 channels
for data. CAS MF can be used with CRC-4 MF or by itself. When en-
nabled, both units must employ CAS MF; if one unit is set for CAS MF,
and the other is not, the one using CAS MF will detect a loss of sync.
SW2 Option
Off Disabled
On Enable
Switch SW3 & SW4: CRC-4 Multiframe/External Clock Mode
In framed mode, SW3 is used for CRC-4 MF. CRC-4 Multiframe
uses Time Slot zero to carry CRC-4 information. It operates independ-
ently of CAS MF. When CRC-4 is enabled, the unit monitors the incom-
ing data stream for CRC-4 errors. It transmits CRC-4 error counts to
the transmitting unit. Excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss
of sync. If CRC-4 MF is used, both units must be set for set for CRC-4
MF. Otherwise, the one using CRC-4 MF will detect loss of sync.
In unframed mode, SW3 is used along with SW4 to determine
the clock mode. In unframed mode, the model 2715RC can be set to
Network, internal, or external clock mode.
In framed mode SW4 is used alone to determine the 2715RC
transmitter timing. In framed mode, the Model 2715RC can be set to
Network or Internal Clock Mode.
The following charts represent both cases.
CLOCK MODES
Network Clock Transmitter timing is derived from the received line
signal.
Internal Clock Transmitter clock is derived from an internal source
clock.
External Clock Transmitter timing is derived from the local DTE
device.
Note: When using the 2715RC as a high-speed short range modem,
one unit of the link must be configured in either internal or external
clock, and the other end must be configured for network clock mode.

1NOTE: When the data rate is set to 2.048Mb/s, then the unit is in
G.703 mode, and it transmits user data on all 32 timeslots. There
is no framing information; therefore, the CAS MF (SW2) is ignored
and SW3 defaulted to clock mode. In all other rate settings, the
unit employs G.704 framing; TS0 is reserved for signaling.
2NOTE: When not in clear channel and CAS multiframe is On
(SW2 = On), the setting for 1984 kbps is defaulted to 1920kbps.
3.2 CONFIGURING THE 1000RCM13448C REAR CARD

4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the functions of the Model 1001R14 rack
chassis, tells how to install front and rear Model 2715RC cards into the
chassis, and provides diagrams for wiring the interface connections
correctly.
4.1 THE MODEL 1001R14 RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1001R14 Rack Chassis (Figure 6, below) has fouteen
device card slots, plus its own power supply. Measuring only 3.5” high,
the Model 1001R14 is designed to occupy only 2U in a 19” rack.
Sturdy front handles allow the Model 1001R14 to be extracted and
transported conveniently.
4.1.1 THE RACK POWER SUPPLY
The power supply included in the Model 1001R14 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.
The Power Supply On and Off
When plugged in, a red front panel + 12V LED will glow. Since
the Model 1001R14 is a “hot swappable” rack,
it is not necessary for
any cards to be installed before installing the power supply
.
NOTE: Please refer to the Model 1001R14 Series User Manual
AC
and DC Rack Mount Power Supplie
s for fuse and power card
replacement information.
4.2 INSTALLING THE MODEL 2715RC INTO THE CHASSIS
The Model 2715RC 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 2715RC 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 1001R14 chassis allows “hot swapping”
of cards, it is
not necessary to power down the rack when you
install or remove a Model 2715RC.
4.3 V.35 TERMINAL CONNECTION
The M/34 female connector of the Model 1000RCM13448C rear
card is configured as DCE (see the wiring diagram in Appendix C). To
connect to a V.35 DTE device, use a
straight-through M/34 cable.

WARNING! There are no user-serviceable parts in the
power supply section of the Model 1001R14. Voltage set-
ting changes and fuse replacement should only be per-
formed by qualified service personnel. Contact Patton

4.4 CONNECTING THE NETWORK AND THE V.35 INTERFACES
Figure 4, below, shows the position of the RJ-48C network and V.35
connector on the rear of the
Model 1000RCM13448C
panel.
4.4.1 Network Interface Connection
The Network Line Interface is an eight position keyed modular jack
configured as a RJ-48C. This interface will need to be configured to
match the line parameters (i.e. framing, line coding, etc.) supplied by
the central office.
5. 0 O P E RATIO N
Once you have configured each Model 2715RC and connected the
cables, you are ready to operate the units. Section 5.0 describes the
power-up procedure, LED status indicators and the built-in loopback
test modes.
5.1 POWER-UP
There is no power switch on the Model 2715RC: Power is automat-
ically applied to the Model 2715RC when its card-edge connector
makes contact with the chassis’ mid-plane socket, and when the chas-
sis’ power supply is turned on.
Note: The Model 2715RC is a “hot
swappable” card—it will not be damaged by plugging it in or removing
it while the rack is powered up.
5.2 LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 2715RC features four front panel LEDs that monitor
and power, data, alarm and testing conditions. Figure 8 (below) shows
the front panel location of each LED. Following Figure 8 is a descrip-
tion of each LED’s function.
TXD When the unit sends a one, the green TXD LED
is turned on. When it sends a zero, the yellow
TXD LED is turned on.
RXD When the unit receives a one, the green RXD
LED is turned on. When it receives a zero, the
yellow RXD LED is turned on.

5.3 LOOP (V.54) DIAGNOSTICS
The Model 2715RC offers three V.54 loop diagnostics and is com-
patible with two Telco loop diagnostics. Use these diagnostics to test
the NTU and any communication links. These tests can be activated
via the switches on the fron panel or via signals on the serial port inter-
face.
5.3.1 Operating Local Loopback (LL)
The Local Loopback (LL) test checks the operation of the local
Model 2715RC, and is performed separately on each unit. Any data
sent to the local Model 2715RC in this test mode will be echoed
(returned) back to the user device (i.e., characters typed on the key-
board of a terminal will appear on the terminal screen).
To perform a LL test, follow these steps:
1. Activate LL. This may be done in one of two ways:
a. Activate the “LL” signal on the DTE. If you are not sure
which lead is the “LL” signal, please refer to Appendix D.
b. Move the toggle switch on the front panel to “Local”.
2. Verify that the data terminal equipment is operating properly
and can be used for a test.
3. Perform a V.52 BER (bit error rate) test as described in
Section 5.3. If the BER test equipment indicates no faults,
but the data terminal indicates a fault, follow the manufactur-
er’s checkout procedures for the data terminal. Also, check
the interface cable between the terminal and the Model
2715RC.
5.3.2 Operating Remote Digital Loopback (RL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RL) test checks the performance of
both the local and remote Model 2715RC, as well as the communica-
tion link between them. Any characters sent to the remote Model
2715RC in this test mode will be returned back to the originating device
(i.e, characters typed on the keyboard of the local terminal will appear
on the local terminal screen after having been passed to the remote
Model 2715RC and looped back).
LOS The Loss of Sync LED lights when the unit loses
synchronization with the incoming signal. This
may happen when there is a framing mismatch
or a loss of signal. In unframed mode, the LOS
LED monitors the status of the transmit clock.
ALM The alarm LED indicates the presence of a AIS
or RAI, or Out of Frame condition. The ALM LED
will blink on every half-second. Alarms may
occur due to:
• Loss of Synchronization
• Loss of Frame
• AIS
• RAI
ERR The error LED indicates various error conditions,
including framing bit errors, excessive zeros,
controlled slips, severe errors, or bit errors (when
sending V.52 test patterns). When sending a test
pattern, the LED will remain lit if the unit does
not receive the identical pattern. When it
receives the correct pattern, the LED will turn off.
If error insertion is on, the LED will blink once a
second if everything is operating properly.
TST The test indicator LED blinks with a specific pat-
tern depending on the type of test mode. When
the unit is in local analog loop, the LED will blink
on briefly. When the unit is in remote loop, the
TST LED will blink off briefly. When the unit is
sending a test pattern or is putting the remote
unit into V.54 loopback, the TST LED will stay
on. These are the test modes:
• V.54 Loopback & V.52 Patterns
• D4 Line Loop (CO initiated)
• ESF Line Loop (CO Initiated)
• ESF Payload Loop (CO Initiated)
PWR The power indicator LED will remain lit while the
unit is powered. It turns off when the unit is not
powered.

To perform an RDL test, follow these steps:
1. Activate RDL. This may be done in two ways:
a. Activate the “RL” signal on the DTE. If you are not sure
which lead is the “RL” signal, please refer to Appendix D.
b. Move the toggle switch on the front panel to “Remote”.
2. Perform a bit error rate test (BERT) using the internal V.52
generator (as described in Section 5.3), or using a separate
BER Tester. If the BER test indicates a fault, and the Local
Line Loopback test was successful for both converters, you
may have a problem with the twisted pair line connection.
5.4 BIT ERROR RATE (V.52) DIAGNOSTICS
The Model 2715RC offers a QRSS V.52 Bit Error Rate (BER) test
pattern. This test pattern may be invoked along with the LAL and RDL
tests to evaluate the unit(s) and the communication links.
When a QRSS test is invoked, the Model 2715RC generates a
pseudo-random bit pattern of 220 bits, respectively, using a mathemati-
cal polynomial. The receiving unit then decodes the received bits
using the same polynomial. If the received bits match the agreed upon
pseudo-random pattern, then the Model 2715RC and the communica-
tion link(s) are functioning properly.
To perform a V.52 test, follow these steps:
1. Activate the local loopback or remote loopback diagnostic
(See Section 5.3).
2. Locate the “PAT / PAT/E” toggle switch on the front panel of
the 2715RC and move it to the left. This activates the V.52
BER test mode and transmits a “QRSS” test pattern into the
loop. If any errors are present, the local modem’s red “ERR”
LED will blink sporadically.
3. If the above test indicates no errors are present, move the
V.52 toggle switch to the right, activating the “PAT/E” test with
errors present. If the test is working properly, the local
modem's red “ERR” LED will blink. A successful “PAT/E” test
will confirm that the link is in place, and that the Model
2715RC’s built-in “QRSS” generator and detector are working
properly.
