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.

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.
