The RPM -BNC module is designed with a special switch -selectable internal
termination function that eliminates the need for a "tee" connector and a 50 ohm terminator. To take advantage of internal termination, the slide switch should be in the "DOWN" (or right-side) position. In this configuration, the 10BASE2 segment is directly attached to the BNC port where it is internally terminated. When the switch is in the "UP" (or left -side) position, the BNC port requires a "tee" connector (not supplied) and a 50 ohm terminator for proper termination. Certain applications may require a "tee" connector, used as a tap, to allow the 10BASE2 coax segment to continue on past the RPM -BNC connection.
The RPM -BNC module includes one partition (PART) and one receive (RX)
LED, which are visible from the front. The PART LED flashes AMBER to indicate that the segment has been automatically partitioned. As soon as normal transmission resumes, the segment will be automatically re-established. The RX LED illuminates GREEN intermittently to indicate data is being received.
