2. Configuration
2.1 LINE STRUCTURE
The RH1-TP/FL enables line structures to be
built up. Cascading can be effected using
both the TP and F/O ports.
M
When cascading via TP ports, use a cable
which crosses the signal pairs, i.e. in
each case connects output to input.
2.2 REDUNDANT RING STRUCTURE
Redundant ring structures can be built up
using the F/O ports of the RH1-TP/FL.
Figure 4 shows a redundant ring structure
with RH1-TP/FL equipment. To do so, the
first piece of equipment is connected to the
last in the fiber optical line structure consi-
sting of RH1-TP/FL equipment (see above)
and the redundant fiber optical ring thus
closed.
To do so, the redundant connection on pre-
cisely one of the two RH1-TP/FL modules is
to be connected to port 5, and port 5 swit-
ched to redundant mode. Switchover is
effected at the 6-pin DIP switch on top of
the equipment (see chapter entitled “Func-
tional description - Controls”.

2.3 COMBINATION WITH
CONCENTRATORS OF THE ASGE, MC
AND AMC FAMILY
The RH1-TP/FL can also be combined with
concentrators of the ASGE, MC and AMC
family. The RH1-TP/FL modules can be cas-
caded for example in line structures via the
ECFL2, ECFL4, ECTP3 etc. interface cards.
The number of pieces of equipment which
can be cascaded depends on the overall
network structure. Redundant ring structu-
res can be implemented via the F/O ports.
Hints on calculating the maximum network
expansion can be found in the „Ethernet
manual“, Chapter 8 (see „Technical data“
for order number).
RH1-TP/FL
A maximum of 11 RH1-TP/FL modules
might be cascaded in a fiber optical line.
Here the total line length between the termi-
nal equipments with the maximum distance
might not exceed 1180 m.
The total line length is determined by the
total sum of all F/O line sections and the
two TP lines to the terminal equipments.
Note:
All the modules in the redundant
ring may only be connected to one another
via F/O runs (ECFL2, ECFL4).
3. Assembly, startup procedure
and dismantling
3.1 UNPACKING, CHECKING
– Check whether the package was delivered
complete (see scope of delivery).
– Check the individual parts for transport
damage.
v
Warning!
Use only undamaged parts!
3.2 ASSEMBLY
The equipment is delivered in a ready-to-
operate condition. The following procedure
is appropriate for assembly:
– Check whether the switch pre-setting suits
your requirements.
– Pull the terminal block off the RH1-TP/FL
and wire up the supply voltage and indica-
tor lines.
– Fit the RH1-TP/FL on a 35 mm ISO/DIN rail
to DIN EN 50 022.
– Suspend the upper snap-in hook of the
RH1-TP/FL in the ISO/DIN rail, insert a
screwdriver horizontally under the hou-
sing into the locking slide pull this down-
wards (cf. Fig. 6, dismantling) and press
the bottom of the module onto the ISO/
DIN rail until it locks in position (Fig. 5).
– Fit the signal lines.
Notes:
– The housing of the RH1-TP/FL is grounded
via the ISO/DIN rail. There is no separate
ground connection.
– The screws in the lateral half-shells of the
housing may not be undone under any
circumstances.
– The shielding ground of the twisted pair
lines which can be connected is electrical-
ly connected to the housing.
