INSTALLING THE MR-9000TPT
When you unpack the MR-9000TPT, verify that you receive the
following:
•
one 8 foot power cord
•
one cable support bracket
•
two 8/32 x .375 inch screws
•
three 6 inch cable ties
The bracket, screws, and cable ties are used to support the cables.
3.1 INSTALLING THE MR-9000TPT
Installing the MR-9000TPT is a simple process of attaching the cable
support bar, plugging in the AUI and twisted pair cables to the
appropriate ports, and then connecting the repeater to an AC power
source.
1. Using the two 8/32 inch screws (3, Fig. 3-1), attach the cable
support bar (2) to the repeater.
2. Put the repeater on the selected site. Be sure that the site meets
the guidelines listed in Chapter 2.
3. Attach an AUI cable, no longer than 50 meters in length, to the
AUI port (1) on the repeater.
4. Attach the other end of the AUI cable to an external transceiver.
Refer to the applicable transceiver manual.
CAUTION: You must disable the SQE Test function on the transceiver
connected to the MR-9000TPT. A repeater interprets the SQE test pulse
as a collision and sends out a JAM signal when it detects a SQE pulse.
SQE induced JAM traffic can effectively disable your network. All
Cabletron Systems transceivers have an On/Off switch for the SQE test
function.
