Set the node DIP switches to a unique valid
address between 1 and 92. Sum the values of
each switch in the ON position to determine
the address setting, i.e., 1 + 4 + 64 = 77

OFF
19.2 kbaud

50 kbaud
NOTE: Serves as a filter when
operating as a repeater. Set to OFF
at 19k2 and when installed on the
base at 50k. Set to ON for
subnetworks operating at 50k.
To determine if a message is passed on, the repeater
analyzes the destination address. The destination
address consists of two parts; a network address and a
node address. When a message is sent, the sending
device only includes the network address if the
destination is outside of the sending subnetwork.
Using this network address, a “smart” repeater can
determine if the message needs to “pass” through to
the other side. When the Mode switch is set to ON:
Messages from LAN PORT 1 to LAN PORT 2 are
allowed to pass only if:
a. the destination node address is greater than
the node address of the repeater.
b.
or
a network address is included.
Messages from LAN PORT 2 to LAN PORT 1 are
allowed to pass if:
a. the destination node address is lower than
the node address of the repeater.
b.
or
a network address is included.
When the Mode switch is set to OFF:
Messages from LAN PORT 1 to LAN PORT 2 are
allowed to pass only if:
a. the destination node address is greater than
the node address of the repeater.
b.
and
a network address is not included.
Messages from LAN PORT 2 to LAN PORT 1 are
allowed to pass if:
a. the node address is lower than the node
address of the repeater.
b.
or
a network address is included.
To simplify the selection of the Mode switch posi-
tion:
When operating as a repeater on the “base” segment
(subnetwork 99), set the switch to ON.
When operating as a repeater on a subnetwork,
(other than 99) set the switch to OFF.
Node (Subnetwork) Address
Referred to as a node address, the Universal
LINC485 uses switches 5 through 11 to set the
subnetwork address when configured as a router. The
binary switches, when summed, add up to the net-
work address.
When the Universal LINC485 is operating as a router,
certain constraints apply:
• The base network must be connected to LAN
PORT 1 and the subnetwork must be connected
to LAN PORT 2.
