Functional principle

The REP-DN is a potted, fully connectorized

repeater. It is very rugged and can be mount-

ed

directly on the machine. Network segments

attached together with a repeater are consid-

ered separate physical networks (trunk and

drop lengths for each segment are determined

as if the other segments are not there), but

one logical network (addresses cannot be du-

plicated - the scanner and configuration tools

work as a single network).

The repeater does not consume an address

and is invisible to all the other devices on the

network. The repeater does not have an EDS

file.

The REP-DN can be used to extend either the

Trunk or the Drop lines. It can also be used to

isolate power supplies on networks with multi-

ple supplies.

There is no limit to the number of repeaters

that can be used on one network. When a

message is repeated a 2 millisecond delay is
