Multi Media Repeater
4. OPERATION
The Multi Media Repeater requires no intervention beyond
occasionally monitoring the Power and Status LEDs.
Monitoring Power LED
The green Power LED is illuminated when the Multi Media Repeater is
connected to power.
Monitoring Status LEDs
The Partition LED is illuminated when the Multi Media Repeater port
registers thirty-one consecutive collisions.
The Collision LED is illuminated when the Multi Media Repeater port
registers a collision.
The Receive LED is illuminated when the Multi Media Repeater port
registers packets received.
2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The site for the Multi Media Repeater must provide:
•
AC power outlet for each Multi Media Repeater
•
Adequate ventilation
•
Standard environmental conditions
•
Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters and
broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical lines, or
fluorescent light fixtures.
Additionally:
•
The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit with
power line cables,
•
Phone lines should be separated from data cables,
•
Flat or “silver satin” wires should not be used,
•
RJ-45 connected cables should be configured as crossover or
straight through according to installation requirements.
And:
•
Since the Multi Media Repeater is an Ethernet repeater, the
entire installation should comply with the IEEE Ethernet 802.3
specification.
