Federal Communications Commission Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio

Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

NOTE: If this equipment contains a Token Ring interface, this equipment is a

Class A digital device when the Token Ring interface is utilized.

Class A Equipment

Chapter 3

Setting Up the Repeater

This chapter describes the requirements for setting up the repeater, including environmental, electrical, and spatial requirements, as well as UTP cabling considerations. The chapter also explains how to rack mount and power up the repeater, how to make a basic repeater-to-workstation connection, and how to set up some basic network configurations.

Selecting a Location

You can place the repeater on a level surface (a desktop or cabinet, for example) or mount it in a 19-inch rack using a rack mount kit.

Environmental Requirements

For environmental requirements, see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications” in this guide.

Electrical Requirements

The power source must be a non-switched, three-pronged, grounded outlet.

CAUTION: Do not use a three-to-two pronged adapter at the outlet. Doing so may result in electrical shock and/or damage to the repeater.

The electrical requirements for a repeater are as follows:

3-2 Setting Up the Repeater

Data communications equipment is sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by AC power supplies. Overvoltage, undervoltage, or transients can interfere with data integrity and may damage your equipment.

CAUTION To protect against these voltage-related problems, power cables should be properly grounded and the following power management methods should be employed:

•

Use power protection devices. Various levels of protection can be achieved by the use of surge protectors, line conditioners, and uninterruptible power supplies.

•

Place the equipment on a dedicated circuit.

•

If a blackout occurs while your equipment is turned on, immediately turn off the system (if the unit is equipped with a power switch) and disconnect it from the power source. Leaving the system on and plugged in under these power conditions may damage the equipment when power is restored.

•

Turn off the equipment and unplug it during lightning storms.

Spatial Requirements

The repeater's dimensions are 1.75 x 17.4 x 8.3 inches, 4.5 x 44.8 x 21.3

centimeters (HxWxD). When you set the repeater on a level surface, allow at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) on each side of the repeater for proper air circulation.

Rack-Mounting the Repeater

To rack-mount one or more repeaters, follow these steps:

1. Before you install any repeater, secure the rack to the floor, another rack, or the wall.

2. Turn the repeater over so that the bracket slots are easily accessible.

2. To remove a bracket from the repeater, pull the bracket forward until it unsnaps from the plastic ridge inside the mounting slot.

Connecting Power

To connect the repeater to power, follow these steps:

1. Plug the female IEC connector of the power cord into the power cord outlet on the back of the repeater.

2. Insert the three-pronged plug on the power cord into an appropriate power source as shown in Figure 3-2 (see also the Caution under

“Electrical Requirements” in the section “Selecting a Location” in this chapter). The power source should be near the repeater and easily accessible (within the 6-foot, 1.8-meter, cord distance).

When you plug in the power cord, all LEDs on the front panel are momentarily

ON, which confirms the repeater is operating correctly.

IMPORTANT: The repeater has no power switch. It receives power via the power cord connection.

Disconnecting the Repeater from the

Power Source

Should you need to power down the repeater, you will need to properly disconnect it from the power source. To power down the repeater, remove the plug from the grounded power source (such as the wall outlet or power strip) and not from the outlet on the back of the unit. The female plug on the power cord is not a certified disconnect.

Cabling Considerations

This section outlines twisted-pair wire specifications and describes how to make a simple direct connection between a repeater and a workstation.

Twisted-Pair Wire Specifications

The twisted-pair wiring must meet the following minimum specifications and requirements to ensure long-term LAN reliability. If the wiring does not meet these specifications and requirements, you may need to install new twisted-pair wiring.

■ Shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (STP or UTP)

■ Two pairs of wires

■ Depending on building codes, different insulation materials (Plenumrated or Teflon-coated wiring may be required in some areas.)

■ UTP wire specifications:

❏

Solid copper

Nominal capacitance: Less than 16pF/foot

❏ Nominal impedance: 100 Ohms

3-6 Setting Up the Repeater

❏ Nominal attenuation: Less than 11.5db

❏ Wire gauge between 18 and 26 AWG

■ Maximum distance requirement 328 feet (100 meters). This distance must include all cross-connect wire, wire in the walls, and any drop cables from wall plates to workstations (see the next section to determine the proper length). Maximum distances may be less for UTP cable run underground, in conduit, or in large cable bundles.

■ Wiring in good condition with the insulation not frayed or worn

IMPORTANT: Never use gray satin station cable for connecting a repeater. This flat cable, typically used for connecting telephones to wall jacks, is incompatible with

10Base-T systems.

The repeater is compatible with all AT&T Type D wiring (D-Inside wiring) and

AT&T PDS wiring. You can also use IBM Type 1 wiring (with two inside conductors).

Two types of D-Inside wiring will work with the repeater:

DW8

D8W

Uses stranded wires and is relatively flexible; is best for shorter runs (less than 50 feet, 16.2 meters) within the same room

Uses solid conductors and is less flexible; is best for longer runs through ceilings and/or walls

A modular cord consists of D-Inside wiring with RJ-45 plugs on each end. The connection between a repeater and a workstation consists of four pairs of straight-through, D-Inside wiring (the repeater uses only two pairs), as shown in

Figure 3-3:

Setting the Uplink Switch

The uplink switch on the front panel of the repeater converts Port 16 to an uplinkable port. This feature allows the repeater to connect to another repeater in a star topology. The default setting for the uplink switch is MDI-X (the standard RJ-45 port). The uplink switch helps simplify twisted-pair wiring between repeaters.

Typically, the repeater's RJ-45 jacks function as input ports for workstation connections. Connecting an input port from one repeater to an input port of another repeater normally requires a special crossover cable that reverses the receive and transmit pairs. However, the repeater's uplink switch eliminates the need for crossover cables by reconfiguring Port 16 as an output port.

Figure 3-6 shows the proper position for the uplink switch when connecting

Port 16 to a primary repeater. To change the switch to the desired position, use a small, slotted screwdriver or a similar tool.

Sample Network Configurations

The following figures represent network configurations for a repeater LAN.

Single Repeater Configuration

Figure 3-7 shows one repeater connected to network stations within a 328 foot

(100 meter) radius. You can place the repeater in a wiring closet or next to network stations. In this example, Port 16 of the repeater is configured as an input port to accommodate a workstation connection.

Multiple Repeater Configuration

Figure 3-8 shows three repeaters connected with unshielded twisted-pair wiring to form a larger network. The maximum distance between any two repeaters is

328 feet (100 meters).

■ Repeater A is the primary repeater to which you uplink Repeaters B and C.

■ Repeater B and Repeater C are uplinked to Repeater A (uplink switch is set to the MDI position).

■ Repeater B and Repeater C each have Port 16 configured as output ports.

3-12 Setting Up the Repeater

Maximum Repeater Path Model

Ethernet limits the total number of repeaters that can be in the path between any two nodes (workstations and servers). Up to four repeaters can exist between two nodes. Figure 3-10 shows an example of the maximum repeater path and the maximum number of connections in that path.

IMPORTANT: The following example is intended only to illustrate the maximum number of connections available for a repeater path. It does not represent a recommended configuration. For example, a maximum network configuration could contain 450 nodes (15 nodes on 15 repeaters = 225 nodes uplinked to one repeater; and 15 nodes on 15 repeaters = 225 nodes uplinked to a second repeater; 450 nodes total) and 32 repeaters.
