Repeater
Connect the Host 5250 Repeater to the Terminal 5250 Repeater using
fiber cable with optional UTP backup.
Fiber Connection
NOTE: Fiber cables consist of two separately identified cables which
may be color-coded.
To connect fiber cable between Host 5250 Repeater and Terminal
5250 Repeater
:
1. Locate or build fiber cable that conform to cable
specifications and with male fiber connectors installed at both
ends. (See page 20)
2. Connect one end of one fiber cable to Host 5250 Repeater TX
connector.
3. Connect other end of that fiber cable to Terminal 5250
Repeater RX connector.
4. Connect one end of second fiber cable to Host 5250 Repeater
RX connector.
5. Connect other end of that fiber cable to Terminal 5250
Repeater TX connector.
6. Set Fiber/UTP Polarity Switches on both Host 5250 Repeater
and Terminal 5250 Repeater either to A or to B.
Optional UTP Backup Connection
To connect twisted pair cable between Host 5250 Repeater and
Terminal 5250 Repeater
:
1. Locate or build twisted pair cables with the following
characteristics:
•
compliant with cable specifications (See page 20)
•
straight through cable configuration (See page 5)
•
male RJ-11 plug connectors installed at both cable ends.
2. Connect male RJ-11 plug connector at one end of twisted pair
cable to RJ-11 connector on Host 5250 Repeater.
3. Connect male RJ-11 plug connector at other end of twisted pair
cable to RJ-11 connector on Terminal 5250 Repeater.
4. Set Fiber/UTP Polarity Switches on both Host 5250 Repeater
