AT-30xxTR Multiport Repeater
9
Installation
1.
Carefully remove the repeater from its packaging materials. Retain the
packing materials until satisfactory installation has been achieved.
2.
Place the repeater in its operating area.
3.
Apply power to the unit by plugging in the power cord. Check that the
green Power LED on the front panel lights up.
4.
If you are connecting the AT-30xxTR repeater to an external transceiver,
attach an AUI cable to the 15-pin AUI connector on the front panel.
Ensure that the external transceiver has its Signal Quality Error (SQE)/
Heartbeat Test function disabled. When power is applied to the repeater,
the external transceiver should also have power.
Connections
10BASE-T UTP cables can be up to 100 meters (328 ft.) in length. The cable
should be 22 to 26 AWG UTP wire with 100
Ω
impedance. The AT-30xxTR
repeater uses RJ45 modular connectors for its 10BASE-T connections.
System Check
1.
Establish a connection from the device connected to Port #1 to the device
connected to Port #2.
2.
Once the connection between devices attached to 10BASE-T Port #1 and
#2 has been successfully established, remove the RJ45 connector from
Port #2 and connect it to each of the subsequent AT-30xxTR 10BASE-T
ports to verify their functions.
3.
If all ports test successfully, install the rest of the 10BASE-T RJ45
connections and ensure that the Port OK LED for each port is illuminated.
Remember, the 10BASE-T device on the opposite end of the UTP cable
must be operational.
The Port OK LED validates the receive pair only. The opposite end of the
UTP segment is responsible for validating the transmit pair.
