Three-Way Switch
A miniature 3-way switch is located inside the back panel of the enclosure. See the
illustration below.
Use this switch to select one of three functions for the repeater:
•
Remote configuration
•
Base configuration
•
Repeater operation (normal setting)
When you select Base or Remote configuration mode, you can program either side of
the repeater through the DB-9 connector.
When you select repeater mode, the RX and TX data lines between the modems are
tied together so that data is passed back and forth between the remote unit and the
base unit.
LED Status
Three external LEDs are on the front panel to inform you of the status of the
repeater. The following illustration shows the three LEDs.
Refer to the following table for a description of the LEDs.
Name Color Description
PWR Green Continuous DC power is applied
RXD Amber Received Data of base unit
CD Amber Data Carrier Detect of remote unit
An additional LED is installed inside the unit to help you configure the transceivers.
The internal LED indicates whether the transceiver is in Remote configuration, Base
configuration, or Repeater mode. This visual indication is redundant and is included
for convenience. The switch positions are also marked on the circuit board to show
their function.
