3.0 CONFIGURATION
Switch Set S1
The configuration switches on S1 set clocking, rate adaptation,
loopback enable, and data invert. The default settings are
summarized in the table below.
The Model 2703-X21 is equipped with one DIP set containing eight
switches (externally accessible), as well as seven jumpers (internal).
These switches and jumpers allow configuration of clocking, data rate,
and test options. The Model 2703-X21 is also equipped with an internal
switch that allows selection of 115 or 230 VAC power inputs (Note: this
switch is not present in Models 2703-X21-UI and 2703-X21-DC). This
section describes switch and jumper locations and explains all possible
configurations.

3.2 INTERNAL JUMPER SETTINGS
Switches S1-2 and S1-3 are set in combination to allow the Model
2703-X21 to adapt to terminal devices running at data rates of less than
2.048 Mbps (The network rate remains 2.048 Mbps regardless of the
terminal rate adaptation setting). The setting you select should match
the data rate of your terminal device.
The Model 2703-X21’s seven jumpers are located on the PC board
inside the unit. To access the jumpers, follow these instructions:
1. Insert a flat head screw driver into an open slot on either side
of the case, as in Figure 3. Twist the screw driver head slightly
and the top half of the case will separate from the lower half,
as in Figure 4, below.

NOTE: Revision B Firmware (or newer, Implemented 6/19/98)
has been adopted to correct signal polarity at 1.024 Mbps, 512
kbps, and 256kbps. To operate Revision B Firmware units with
Revision A (or older) units at one of these sub-rates, you must
invert invert the data (Switch S1-5 On. See Below) (Firmware
revision level is printed on the label on the bottom of the unit).
3. Slide out the Network Interface Module and locate the jumpers
on the bottom side of the board.
4. Configure the jumpers according to the section below and
return the Network Interface Module and cover to their proper
positions.
S1-4: Loopback Test Enable
Depending upon the setting of switch S1-4 the Model 2703-X21 will
either be continually in loopback mode, or loopback mode will be
enabled by pressing and holding the front panel switch. Since the
front panel switch is spring loaded–it returns to “Normal” operation
when pressure is released–this DIP switch provides a way of leaving
the Model 2703-X21 in “unattended” loopback mode for remote test
purposes.

S1-5: Data Inversion
The setting for switch S1-5 determines whether or not the data
stream from the local DTE is inverted within the Model 2703-X21 before
being passed to the G.703 network. The ability to invert the data
stream may be necessary when the Model 2703-X21 is being used with
an embedded G.703 device that inverts the data on the remote end.
Normally, data inversion is not necessary.

3.3 POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS
This setting determines whether the host can automatically sense
the configuration of the Applique. The operation of the Applique is not
affected by this jumper setting. Auto-sense should be enabled when
operating in 75 Ohm (unbalanced) mode. Current interface standards
do not list this feature for 120 Ohm (balanced) mode.
The Model 2703-X21 is available with three power supply options:
The Standard power supply option (Model 2703-X21 or 2703-X21-
230) is factory configured for either 115 or 230 VAC, depending on
how the product is ordered, and is available with a variety of
domestic and international power cords (see Appendix C).

configuration necessary (see Appendix C for available domestic
and international power cords).
LK6 & LK7: 75 Ohm Termination Impedance
The DC power supply option (Model 2703-X21-DC) operates in 48
VDC environments and is equipped with a 3-pin “terminal strip”
style DC power cord.
This jumper sets the termination impedance correctly for 75 Ohm
operation. Both jumpers must be in place when operating in 75 Ohm
(unbalanced) mode. Conversely, both jumpers must be removed when
operating in 120 Ohm (balanced) mode.

4.2 CONNECTION TO THE TERMINAL DEVICE
Once the Model 2703-X21 is properly configured, it is ready to
connect to your system. This section tells you how to properly connect
the Model 2703-X21 to the G.703 network and terminal device
interfaces.
The Model 2703-X21 is wired as a DCE, and–when configured
properly–supports communication with an X.21 DTE device. The Model
2703-X21 is equipped with a DB-15 female connector and uses a
standard X.21 patch cable, wired straight through. If you wish to
construct your own terminal adapter cable, please consult the pinout
diagram in Appendix B.
4.1 CONNECTION TO THE G.703 NETWORK
The Model 2703-X21 supports 2.048 Mbps communication over an
unstructured G.703 network. Both 120 ohm twisted pair and 75 ohm
coax interfaces are provided on the rear panel of the Model 2703-X21
(see Figure 6, below). Be sure the unit is configured properly to operate
in either 120 ohm or 75 ohm mode, and that the network connection is
grounded appropriately (see Section 3.0).
4.3 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SOURCE
As described in Section 3.3, the Model 2703-X21 is available with
three power supply options: two AC and one DC. The two AC power
supply options (Standard and Universal) use a female IEC power cord
interface, for which Patton can supply various domestic and
international power cords. Please refer to Appendix C for specific
Patton part numbers when ordering power cords. The DC power
supply option uses a 3-pin terminal strip interface (Note: Please refer
to the Model 2703-X21 Service Manual for DC power supply wiring
instructions).

5.0 OPERATION
5.3 LOOPBACK TEST (LAL)
Once the Model 2703-X21 is properly configured and installed, it
should operate transparently. This sections describes power-up,
reading the LED status monitors, and using the built-in loopback test
modes.
The Model 2703-X21 is equipped with a Local Analog Loopback
(LAL) mode to assist in evaluating the operation of the local Model
2703-X21. Any data sent to the local Model 2703-X21 in this test mode
will be echoed (returned) back to the user device. For example,
characters typed on the keyboard of a terminal will appear on the
terminal screen. To perform a LAL test, follow these steps:
5.1 POWER-UP
To apply power to the Model 2703-X21, first be sure that you have
read Section 3.3, and that the unit has the proper voltage setting and
fuse. Failure to do so could result in damage to the unit and connected
equipment, and may constitute a fire hazard. Having checked the
voltage setting, plug the AC power cord into both the Model 2703-X21
and the AC outlet. Then Power-up the unit using the rear Power switch.
Note: the “PWR” LED should glow when power is applied to the unit.
A. Activate LAL by moving the front panel toggle switch UP and
holding it in the “Loopback” mode. The “Loop” LED should glow. Once
LAL is activated, the Model 2703-X21 transmit output is connected to its
own receiver.
Note: The front panel switch is spring loaded, so it will return to
“Normal” operating mode when pressure is released. To put the Model
2703-X21 in continual loopback mode, for the purpose of performing a
BER test, move DIP switch S1-4 to the “ON” position (see Section 3.1).
5.2 LED STATUS INDICATORS
B. Verify that the data terminal equipment is operating properly
and can be used for a test. If a fault is indicated, call a technician or
replace the unit.
The Model 2703-X21 features four front panel LEDs that indicate
the status of power, network connection, master clock and loopback
test. Figure 7 (below) shows the front panel location of each LED.
Following Figure 7 is a description of each LED’s function.
C. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on each unit. If the BER test
equipment indicates no faults, but the data terminal indicates a fault,
follow the manufacturer’s checkout procedures for the data terminal.
Also, check the interface cable between the terminal and the Model
2703-X21.
