Figure 13 Point-To-Point Ground Fault Detection
If an RPT-W is employed, two ground fault detection schemes are possible within a point-to-point
configuration. One or both nodes (refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15) may provide ground fault
detection, depending on the number of repeaters and the setting of the repeater pass-through switch
(SW3) at each repeater (refer to EXAMPLES 1 and 2).
Note:
Refer to the
Network Adaptor
Module (NAM-232)
Manual when
employing the NAM-
232W in place of the
MIB-W. See Table 1
on page 6 for
document numbers.

EXAMPLE 1:
In this example, the node on the left provides the ground fault detection, and
thus, the node must be an AFP-200, AFP-300/AFP-400, or AM2020/AFP1010/INA with an
MPS-24A Main Power Supply. SW2 (Port B) of the MIB on the left is set to the ON position
to enable ground fault detection on Port B. The RPT-W pass-through switch (SW3) is ON,
allowing the left node to provide ground fault detection for the two point-to-point wire
connections on the left and right of the repeater. The Port A switch on the right MIB-W is set
to the OFF position, disabling ground fault detection feed-through from the node on the right.
The node on the right can be any network node.

EXAMPLE 2:
By setting the pass-through switch (SW3) on the RPT-W to the OFF position,
both nodes may provide their own ground fault detection (refer to Figure 15). The left node
provides ground fault detection up to the RPT-W, and thus, must be an AFP-200/AFP-300/
AFP-400, or AM2020/AFP1010/INA with an MPS-24A Main Power Supply. SW2 (Port B) is
set to the ON position to enable ground fault detection pass-through on the left MIB-W.
The Port A switch on the right MIB-W is also set to the ON position, providing ground fault
detection pass-through up to the RPT-W. This node must also be an AFP-200/AFP-300/AFP-
400,or AM2020/AFP1010/INA with an MPS-24A Main Power Supply.
