Module Name
Gateway Repeater Module
Refer to the LINK Overview manual (HA350678) for general information on this module.
Module
Description
The L5206-2-01
LINK
Gateway Repeater receives and
retransmits network data between the
LINK
network
and a Gateway. It can be used with any LINK5204,
LINK5210 or LINK5211 model Gateway. The Gateway
is connected to the
LINK
network via a shielded
cable (part number CM350901) to the Gateway
Repeater's DB-25 connector.
The L5206-2-01 behaves identically to the L5206-2-
00
LINK
Repeater in the absence of a gateway.
However, when a gateway is connected, network data
is re-routed to include it in the
LINK
network
ring.
Transmission
Distance
The L5206-2-01 transmission distance is selected
by the toggle switches inside the enclosure. SW1
controls the FO4 transmitter and SW2 controls the
FO2 transmitter.
The LOW setting (center) is used for distances
between 0 and 20 meters; the MED setting (left) is
used for distances between 20 and 40 meters; and
the HIGH setting (right) is used for distances
between 40 and 60 meters.
In the presence of an L5211 LINK Gateway, the L5206-2-01 is connected to
implement the desired LINK network topology. The connections are show in the table
on the next page for each type of topology. Note that the arrow denotes the direction
