MD2 Modem (07/2002) 5-53
5.3.2 Point-to-Point with Repeater, 4-wire Full-duplex
Overview
Fig. 5-17 shows a configuration for a point-to-point connection with an
intermediate 4-wire repeater, 4-wire full-duplex. The MD2 modems on the outer
left and right represent 4-wire terminal points. Both modems are set to the "Normal
with DTR/RTS on" 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 except for "MID off" 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: two are 4-wire terminal points (see Table 5-36), two are 4-wire
repeaters (see Table 5-37).
