Preface
The INFI-NET
®
to INFI-NET interface modules provide commu-
nication links between two local or two remote INFI-NET com-
munication loops. All INFI-NET to INFI-NET interface modules
are directly upward compatible to existing Superloop interfaces.
The INNIS01 Network Interface Slave (NIS) is the front end of
every INFI-NET interface. It provides the intelligent link
between a node and an INFI-NET loop. An INFI-NET to
INFI-NET transfer module and one or more NIS modules make
up a specific node of an INFI-NET to INFI-NET interface. Each
loop of the communication system (central and satellite loop)
requires an INIIR01 INFI-NET to INFI-NET Remote Interface
consisting of one NIS module and one INIIT02 INFI-NET to
INFI-NET Transfer Module. Two NIS modules and one INIIT03
INFI-NET to INFI-NET Transfer Module make up an INIIL02
INFI-NET to INFI-NET Local Interface. The INIIL02 local inter-
face supersedes and replaces the INIIL01 local interface. Ter-
mination devices and cables are required for both interfaces.
This instruction explains INFI-NET to INFI-NET interface mod-
ule features, specifications and operation. It includes installa-
tion, troubleshooting, maintenance and replacement procedures
for each module.
