The available parameters are described next: 

 

Configuration

: as in the Linecoupler application program, this parameter 

permits selecting a general preset for the mainline, or enabling the manual 
configuration of each parameter (option “Configure”). However, the only 
available preset in the Linerepeater application program is “Groups, Physical: 
route (default option; performs no telegram filtering or dropping at all). 

(The following parameters will be locked unless “Configure” has been 
selected under “Configuration”).  

 

Physical Telegrams

: sets the behaviour of the device regarding telegrams 

destined to individual addresses. The available options are “Transmit all” 
(default option; no telegram filtering or dropping) and “Block” (all telegrams 
will be dropped). 

 

Physical: Repetition if Errors on Main Line

: sets the desired reaction upon 

transmission errors in the mainline (e.g.: busy receiver, acknowledgement not 
received, negative acknowledgement, etc.) of telegrams destined to physical 
addresses. The options are “No” (the undelivered telegram will not be re-
sent), “Normal” (the undelivered telegram will be re-sent up to three times) 
and “Reduced” (default option; the undelivered telegram will be re-sent once). 

 

Group:  Repetition if Errors on Main Line

: sets the desired  reaction upon 

transmission errors in the mainline (e.g.: busy receiver, acknowledgement not 
received, negative acknowledgement, etc.) of telegrams destined to a group 
address. The options are “No” (the undelivered telegram will not be re-sent), 
“Normal” (the undelivered telegram will be re-sent up to three times) and 
“Reduced” (default option; the undelivered telegram will be re-sent once). 

 

Telegram  Confirmations on Line

: sets when the line repeater should 

confirm (by sending an immediate ACK –or IACK– message) the reception of 
telegrams. Selecting “If routed” (default option) will make the line repeater 
respond with an IACK message only if  the received telegram is routed 
towards the sub-line, while “Always” will make the line repeater send a 
confirmation for every telegram it receives, even if not routed to the line on 
the other side.
