IEEE 488 BUS EXTENDER AND IEEE 488 FIBER BUS EXTENDER
3. Configuration and Installation
3.1 Configuring and Installing the IEEE 488 Bus Extender (IC095A)
This section describes the configuration necessary for the RS-422 IEEE 488 Bus
Extenders. If you are using the fiberoptic extenders (IC096A), refer to
Section 3.2
.
Two IEEE 488 Bus Extenders are required for bus extension, with one connected
directly to the local IEEE bus, and the other connected to the remote IEEE bus.
Both local and remote Extenders are identical. At power-up, each Extender
monitors the Attention (ATN) and Remote Enable (REN) lines. The Error LED
on each Extender will blink, indicating that ATN or REN has not yet been detected
and that communication with the other Extender has not yet been established.
The first Extender to detect either of these lines asserted declares itself the local
Extender and commands the other Extender to declare itself the remote Extender.
The Error LEDs will now stop blinking. From this moment on, the local Extender
will monitor all local bus activity and transmit this activity to the remote Extender.
All activity detected by the remote Extender is also communicated back to the local
Extender.

The Extender is shipped with the serial baud rate set to 115.2 Kbps. For most
applications, this is the most efficient operating rate. However, if the Extenders will
be located at extreme distances from each other, baud rates other than 115.2 Kbps
can be selected. Selectable baud rates include 115.2 Kbps, 19.2 Kbps, 9600 bps,
4800 bps, 2400 bps, 1200 bps, 600 bps, and 300 bps. Both Extenders must be set
to the same baud rate for proper operation.
To modify the baud rate, disconnect the power supply from the AC line and
from the interface. Disconnect any IEEE or serial cables prior to disassembly.
WARNING!
Never open the Extender’s case while it is connected to the AC line.
Doing so may result in equipment failure, personal injury, or death.
