Take everything out of the carton. We recommend that you keep the shipping container and the packing materials in case you ever have to ship the Repeater. If anything is missing or damaged, call Black Box at once. If you need to return the Repeater, see Chapter 5 for instructions. -
Page 10: What The Repeater Does
CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.2 What the Repeater Does The Local and Remote Repeaters work as in-line repeaters. Each repeater has two ports, and each port can connect to one segment of one type of Ethernet medium: 10BASE2, 10BASE5, 10BASE-FL, 10BASE-T, FOIRL, or single-mode. Since the Repeaters have full 802.3 repeater functionality, each port can support a full-length segment. -
Page 11: Different Kinds Of Ports
LOCAL AND REMOTE REPEATERS 2.3 Different Kinds of Ports Your Local or Remote Repeater comes with two ports. They might be any combination of the available port types; the Repeater’s modular design means we can offer it for any combination of media. Each port has at least two LEDs: PART (Partition) and RX (Receive). -
Page 12: Aui
CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.3.2 AUI For those Repeaters that have any, each AUI port has a DB15 female AUI connector and slide lock for standard 10BASE5 (“Thick Ethernet” or “Thicknet”) applications. You’ll need a transceiver with no SQE test (or SQE test disabled) to connect it to a standard Ethernet segment. - Page 13 LOCAL AND REMOTE REPEATERS Table 2-1.

Page 14: 10Base-T
CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.3.3 10BASE-T For those Repeaters that have any, each 10BASE-T port has an RJ-45 female connector for attaching twisted-pair Ethernet segments of any standard length. The connector is shielded to minimize emissions, but you can connect to it either unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) segments of new or existing 10BASE-T networks. -
Page 15: Multimode Or Single-Mode Fiber St
LOCAL AND REMOTE REPEATERS When the MDI-X switch is set Up, the transmit and receive pairs of the Repeater’s RJ-45 connector are exchanged so that it can support “uplink” or “hub-to-hub” connections using straight-through-pinned twisted-pair cable: • 1 = Transmit + •... - Page 16 CHAPTER 2: Introduction NOTE The Multimode Fiber ST circuit board contains a six-pin jumper that controls the intensity of the transmitted signal. By default, the jumper is placed across pins 1 and 2. The jumper may be set as shown below, to accommodate distances of up to 4 km.
- Page 17 LOCAL AND REMOTE REPEATERS NOTE The Single-Mode Fiber ST circuit board contains a six-pin jumper, but the jumper is only to be placed across pins 5 and 6. The others are not used. Default Jumper Across Distances Supported 1–2 Not used 3–4 Not used 5–6...

Page 18: Installation
CHAPTER 3: Installation 3. Installation 3.1 Where to Put the Repeater Where you put your Local or Remote Repeater will depend on the physical layout of the network and the area to be served. Set up the Repeater in a cool, dry place with easy access to all network connections you plan to make, within about six feet (1.8 m) of a working AC outlet. -
Page 19: Connecting Ethernet Media
LOCAL AND REMOTE REPEATERS 3.2 Connecting Ethernet Media Depending on which model you ordered, your Repeater might have ports for any combination of the standard Ethernet media. Follow the directions in the appropriate subsection(s) below for the kinds of connections you need to make. -
Page 20: Twisted-Pair Connections
CHAPTER 3: Installation 3.2.3 T WISTED ONNECTIONS To connect the Repeater to a UTP and STP 10BASE-T segment, take these steps: 1. Plug either end of a standard 10BASE-T cable into the Repeater’s female RJ-45 (10BASE-T) connector. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the 10BASE-T workstation, hub, or other device. -
Page 21: Operation
LOCAL AND REMOTE REPEATERS 4. Operation 4.1 How the Repeater Works The Local and Remote Repeaters work as mixed-media or homogeneous Ethernet repeaters. Each model complies with IEEE 802.3 specifications and supports one or two of the standard Ethernet interfaces (10BASE2, 10BASE5, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-FL, FOIRL, and single-mode). -
Page 22: Powering Up The Repeater
CHAPTER 4: Operation 4.2 Powering Up the Repeater The Repeaters’ internal power supply is universal—you can use it anywhere the local AC power is between 90 and 260 volts at 47 to 63 Hz. Repeaters shipped to the United States and Canada come with a 6-foot (1.8-m) power cord;... -
Page 23: Troubleshooting
LOCAL AND REMOTE REPEATERS 5. Troubleshooting 5.1 Things to Try First Before you call for technical support, there are a few things you can check yourself: 1. If you have trouble while you’re installing the Repeater, read Chapter 3 of this manual again. Make sure all the components of the network are interoperable. -
Page 24: Calling Your Supplier
If you determine that your Repeater is malfunctioning, do not attempt to alter or repair it. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Contact Black Box. Before you do, make a record of the history of the problem. Black Box will be able to provide more efficient and accurate assistance if you have a complete description, including: •... - Page 25 NOTES...
