REPEATER FUNCTIONALITY
Delay Times
(port x in to port x out)
Start of Packet:
1,450 ns max.
Collision to JAM:
1,550 ns max.
Preamble
Input:
Minimum of 40 bits to a max. of 64 bits
required.
Output:
64
bits min
.
(last 2 bits = 1
,
1)
.
JAM Output:
If a collision occurs on one of the segments, a
pattern of 1,0 is sent to the other segments.
Minimum Packet Repeated: 96 bits including preamble. (Packet
fragments are extended using the JAM [1,0]
data pattern.)
FAULT Protection:
Each segment will disconnect itself from the
other segments if 32 consecutive collisions
occur, or the collision detector of a segment is
on for longer than approximately 2.4 ms. This
FAULT protection will reset automatically
after one packet is transmitted onto the
FAULT protected segment without causing a
collision.
