Functional principle

The REP-DN is a potted, fully connectorized

repeater. It is very rugged and can be mounted

directly on the machine. Network segments

attached together with a repeater are considered 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 duplicated - 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 multiple 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
