Chapter 3
Installing the Repeater
This chapter explains how to mount the repeater, attach cables, install an
Alternate Media Connector, and interconnect several repeaters. It also provides
an overview of segmentation as it relates to the repeater.
Mounting the Repeater
You can place the repeater on a level surface (table top or shelf, for example) or
mount it in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
Attaching the Rubber Feet
To place the repeater on a table top or shelf, attach the supplied adhesive-
backed rubber feet as described in the following steps.
1. Turn the repeater over so that its bottom side faces up.
2. Remove the four rubber feet from their packaging.
3. Peel the protective paper backing OFF the rubber feet. Then position the
feet in the marked areas near the corners of the repeater and press the
feet into place.
4. Turn the repeater to its upright position and place it on the mounting
surface.
NOTE:
Be sure you allow at least 2 inches (5.1 centimeters) on each side of the
repeater for proper air flow.
Rack-Mounting the Repeater
To mount the repeater in a rack, use the supplied installation kit. This kit
includes two side mounting brackets and eight screws to secure the brackets. To
attach the brackets, position them as shown in Figure 3-1. Then secure the
brackets with the screws supplied with the mounting kit.
