Installing the Module as a Standalone Unit
You can use the DECrepeater 90TS as a standalone unit by placing it on a table,
mounting it onto a wall, or installing it into a standard 19-inch rack using a shelf
assembly (Digital Part Number: H9544–MS).
In standalone mode, you can operate your module with or without a back cover. If the
back cover is installed, either the ThinWire port or the AUI port can be used to
connect the module to the network. If the back cover is removed, only the ThinWire
port is available.
The module’s factory default settings automatically select either the ThinWire port or
the AUI port, depending on which one is connected. If you connect both the ThinWire
port and the AUI port to the network(s), the module selects the AUI port by default.
Using HUBwatch, you can change the module’s port selection to use either the
ThinWire port or the AUI port.
NOTE:
In the standalone mode, connections are normally made
to either the ThinWire port or the AUI port, not both.
Only one of the two ports can be active at a time. It is not
necessary to place a terminator or loopback connector
on the nonactive port.
