Ports
The BiDiBooster has 2 different booster ports:

DCC-conforming booster port (3-pole): for the connection to the
control unit´s DCC booster connection or if the control unit does not
have a DCC booster connection: the control unit´s track output

BiDiB-port (RJ 45): for the connection to the BIDiB-port of a BiDiB-
device with track output or a BiDiB-interface.
In order to activate the one or other port you have to set jumpers or
CVs.
You can connect further boosters either via the DCC-conforming
booster port (3-pole) or the BiDiB-port (RJ 45).
You can configure the BiDiBooster that way, a closed-circuit connection
is made between the DCC-conforming booster port and the BiDiB-port.
The track signals incoming from the control unit connected via the DCC-
conforming booster port are transferred to further boosters via the RJ
45 connection then. This allows to connect consecutive boosters simply
and quickly via RJ 45 cables.
Data formats
The BiDiBooster is a multi protocol booster and capable of amplifying
data sent in the Motorola or the DCC format (both via the DCC-
conforming booster port and the BiDiB-port). It transmits control
commands in mfx-format as well, but no mfx feedback signals.
