1. Verify that the segment is properly terminated on both ends and that there
is no other termination between these two points. You may plug the BNC
connector directly into the micro repeater BNC connection if the internal
50 Ω termination function is enabled. If a BNC-T connector is to be used, the
internal 50 Ω termination function should be disabled. Using an Ohm meter
(DMM or VOM), it is possible to statically test the coaxial segment. With
terminators in place, measure the resistance of the cable from the male
connector of a BNC-T. Touch one of the meter's probes to the inner pin and
the other probe to the outside of the BNC-T. You should read between 25 Ω
and 30 Ω resistance.
Caution
Too many collisions.
1. On an AUI port, make certain that the SQE Test (heartbeat) switch is OFF
on any transceiver attached to the port.
2. Check the media connections and cabling. Excessive collisions may be caused
by a faulty cable or connection.
Network loading can also cause excessive collisions.
Configurations
The configuration in Figure 14 demonstrates how the AT-MR111T (or
AT-MR121T) can be used to connect 10Base-T devices.
