Ethernet LAN
For information about maximum cable length and maximum cable dis-
tance between two devices on a communication link, refer to Table 30 on
page 152. Termination is provided by installing a 50 Ω BNC terminator.
ARCNET LAN
In the bus configuration, use high impedance transceiver cards (those
ARCNET cards specified by Trane). For information about maximum
cable length and maximum cable distance between two devices on a com-
munication link, refer to Table 30 on page 152. Termination is provided
by installing a 93 Ω BNC terminator.
Star Topology
Star topology requires the use of hubs. A typical star topology for the
ARCNET LAN used with Tracer Summit is shown in Figure 71 on
page 154.
Note:
For further information on designing an Ethernet network,
refer to BAS-EB-70 (Tracer Summit for Windows and Ether-
net).
