5-24 MD2 Modem (07/2002)
5.1.8 Repeater, 4-wire Full-duplex
Overview
Fig. 5-8 shows a configuration for a multidrop line with an intermediate 4-wire
repeater, 4-wire full-duplex and. The MD2 modem on the left represents a 4-wire
terminal point, the MD2 modem on the right is a 4-wire tapping point. Both modems
are set to the "Normal" operating mode. Both MD2 modems in the middle form a 4-
wire repeater and are set to the "Repeater" operating mode.
All available baud rates and character recognition methods can be used in this
configuration.
Note that the DIL switch settings for the modems are different due to their location
in the multidrop line: one is a 4-wire terminal point (see Table 5-16), an other one is
a 4-wire tapping point (see Table 5-17) and two are 4-wire repeaters (see Table 5-
18). The two repeater modems have the same DIL switch settings.
