6.3. Connection of a BiDiB interface

When using a BiDiB interface with track output to control your layout,
you have to connect it like a central unit to the BiDiB port (→section
6.2).
In order to integrate the booster in a layout controlled and monitored
by BiDiB, you can use a BiDiB interface not providing a track output in
addition to the control unit.

6.4. Connection of additional boosters

You can use the same port for the connection of an additional booster
as used for the connection of the control unit.
A special feature of the BiDiBooster is the possibility to connect the
control unit via the 3-pole DCC booster port and additional boosters via
RJ 45 cables to the BiDiB port. In this case the BiDiBooster has to be
set accordingly (→section 7). Then, a closed-circuit connection is made
between the DCC-conforming booster port and the BiDiB-port.
Please note:
!
It is not possible to connect the control unit via the BiDiB port and an
additional booster via the DCC booster port. In this case no track
signals are transmitted.
Connection A: DCC-conforming (3-pole) port
In order to connect an additional booster connect an additional cable to
each of the three pins of "A".
Connection C: BiDiB-port (RJ 45)
In order to connect an additional booster use a patch cable (RJ 45) and
connect it optional to C1 or C2.
Hint: If necessary you have to mount or dismount the terminating
jumpers (→ section 6.1).
