Repeater configuration
Data wires termination jumper
The segment data wires are terminated differently for MS/TP 2 WIRE and for MS/TP RJ-45.
See the corresponding section below for a description of the proper termination.
Proper termination of the network data wires ensures network stability and helps to prevent
damage to controllers during high electrical activity.
MS/TP 2 WIRE termination
The data wires at both ends of an MS/TP 2 WIRE segment must be terminated to ensure
reliable operation. The DZNR provides a built-in jumper-selectable termination for the data
wires of each segment.
For MS/TP 2 WIRE, set the jumper for the segment to the TERM position. Terminate the data
wires at the last node on the segment with a TRM-768. The following diagram shows the
proper termination for both the data wires and the shield.

MS/TP RJ-45 termination
For MS/TP RJ-45, remove the jumper for the segment or set it to the non- TERM position.
Devices that use MS/TP RJ-45 networking include built-in distributed termination components.
