Functional description
The DNX R-2F/FC are network nodes that support intelligent infrastructure monitoring
of the hybrid and Optic Fibre network bus with RS-485 / ARCNET CIE interface ports
A1 and A2.
The DNX R-2F/FC can function in one of two modes:
1)
Mode 1 as a PASSIVE dual port Optic Fibre / RS-485 medium converter.
2)
Mode 2 as an ACTIVE network node in either a class A or class B monitored
network. (ACTIVE mode is required for use as a network analysis tool)
The mode can be selected through Set 6, switch 4 in Figure 6 and Table 10.
Note* The DNX R-2F/FC will operate in a basic mode unless upgraded to unlock
the additional features offered by the firmware upgrade (DNX R-2F/FC-UG).
Refer to Table 9a for the features included in the DNX R-2F/FC and DNX R-2F/FC-
UG products.
The DNX R-2F/FC may be purchased and later upgraded with the
DNX R-2F/FC-UG functionality by purchasing a license key that allows the IVIEW
application tool to unlock the additional functionality. The DNX R-2F/FC will
operate in BOTH PASSIVE and ACTIVE Modes, with the DNX R-2F/FC-UG
increasing the features set.
