4.1.1 SWITCH SET SW1

The configuration switches on switch set SW1 allow you to specify

Line Rate, Circuit Assurance, RTS, Character Length, Data Format and
DSR Loop Status. Figure 3 (below) summarizes SW1 switch settings,
including the factory defaults. Following Figure 4 is a description of
each switch setting.

Line Rate

These switches control the signalling rate on the line (RJ-48S port).

They should match the speed of your digital service.

(continued)

For line rates of 56 and 64 kbps, it is possible to operate the DTE
interface at a lower rate. To do this, set these switches to 56 or 64 kbps
and set the Rate Converter/DTE Rate switches as required.

Circuit Assurance

On dedicated circuits, the transmitter and the CTS output can be

configured to go On only when a working communication circuit is
established. If Circuit Assurance is used, enable it on only one end of
the communication link. In Switched 56 mode, this switch should be set
to On on both ends of the circuit.

Assurance

Description

On

Enabled

CTS will go low and the
transmitter will be held off if the
receiver is in the No Signal state
or CD is low

Off

Disabled

The transmitter and CTS will
operate without regard to the
receiver state

RTS

The RTS input can be forced on, ignoring the terminal’s RTS

signal. RTS controls the transmitter by either sending the user’s data or
sending an idle code. Force RTS should be enabled in Switched 56
mode.

Forced On

An On (high) condition is trans-

The RTS input controls the
transmitter

Note: At 64K line rate, RTS is always Forced On.
