Chapter 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
These short-haul modems enable you to place a receiving device up to four
miles from the sending device. They are switch-selectable for either DCE or DTE
application, eliminating the need for special cables and preventing confusion
during installation. The short-haul modems are connected with twisted-pair
cable, using a 4-position terminal block or RJ-11. The units are optically isolated
to provide protection from differences in ground potential between the units.
The units provide line status (Data Carrier Detect when DCE is selected and Data
Terminal Ready when DTE is selected) to indicate that the remote unit is online
and ready to communicate. Two dual RED/GREEN indicators on the front panel
indicate the status of receive and transmit circuitry as well as proper polarity of
twisted-pair connections.

Chapter 3: Installation
3. Installation
Before you begin, make sure all equipment, including the converters, are not
powered on.
1. Set the 4-position DIP switch as appropriate for local control signal enable and
cable distance.
2. Set the slide switch for either DCE to connect to a PC or DTE to connect to a
modem.
3. Connect the two short-haul modems with twisted-pair cable, making sure to
connect TX+ and TX- on the local unit to RX+ and RX- respectively on the
remote unit, and vice versa. You can use either the RJ-11 connector or the
4-wire terminal block.
4. Once the modems are connected together, connect DB9 cables to equipment
and power up the converters.
5. Next, power up your equipment. For testing purposes, a loopback function
has been incorporated into the short-haul modem. Placing the local unit in
loopback enables the local unit to be tested without the line, and enables the
remote unit to test the line. Placing the remote unit in loopback allows the
local unit to test the line. Keep in mind that the unit in loopback sees a cable
of zero length, while the other unit sees twice the cable length. This may
affect the DIP switch settings and the baud rate at which the test will be
successful.

NOTES:

unit is driving the line.

Chapter 3: Installation
NOTES (continued):
2. When configured as DCE, Data Terminal Ready and Request to Send signals
may be used to disable the line driver (see S3). The remote unit will sense this
condition and its Data Carrier Detect signal will become negative.
3. When configured as DTE, Data Terminal Ready will be active when the remote
unit is driving the line.
4. When configured as DTE, Data Carrier Detect and Clear to Send signals may be
used to disable the line driver (see S3). The remote unit will sense this condition
and its Data Terminal Ready signal will become inactive.

Position Function (See Figure 3-2)
OUT Normal operation
IN Loopback
NOTE: When switch S2 is in the loopback position, the output of the local unit is
fed back to its input, and the line is looped back so the remote unit can test
the line integrity. The remote unit will actually see twice the distance
of the line. This should be taken into consideration when determining the
maximum baud rate at which the loopback test will be successful.
The local loopback path is compensated for zero length cable.

NOTES:
1. When hardware control is enabled, both control input signals must be high for
transmission to be enabled.
2. The long and short line distance switches control the current output of the line
driver. These switches should be OFF for distances less than 1000 feet, and
should be ON for distances greater than 1000 feet.

Chapter 4: Troubleshooting
4. Troubleshooting
If the units fail to operate, check the following before calling for technical
support.
1. Are the units powered on? Check to see if the power supplies are plugged into
a working AC outlet.
2. Check to see if the interconnect wire is connected properly, TX+ to RX+, TX- to
RX-, at both ends.
3. Check that switch S3 is set for the proper cable length.
4. If hardware control is enabled, DTR and RTS must be high to enable data
transmission to the remote unit.
5. Check that the loopback switch S2 is in the Normal position.
