J1 – V.36 Circuit 103 (Transmit data) Circuit Termination – This link connects a 120 ohm load
resistor across the 103 circuit in position 1-3. This helps maintain signal rise times and
minimises reflections at greater than 9.6kbps over long lines. At lower rates and over short
lines the termination resistor may be omitted, (link set position 1-2).
J2 – V.36 Circuit 113 (External Signal Element Timing) Circuit Termination – This link connects
a 120 ohm resistor across the 113 circuit in position 1-3. This helps maintain signal rise times
and minimises reflections at rates greater than 9.6kbps over long lines. At lower rates and
over short lines the termination resistor may be omitted, (link set position 1-2).

8.4.3 External Timing
If External timing is required i.e. the modem is to be used as a DTE then a change over cable
will be required as shown in the diagram below.
