Model Number 5124M-TP Features

Model Number 5124M-TP permits you to connect individual 10BASE-T-compliant ports using 24 RJ-45 connectors (one connector per port). The RJ-45 connectors provide direct connections to 10BASE-T cables (one cable per connected port).

Theory of Operation

ONline Ethernet 24-Port 10BASE-T Modules incorporate repeaters and twisted pair transceivers that receive and restore amplitude to incoming signals. 24-Port Module repeaters restore phase and frequency.

Repeated signals:

❑Synchronize to the system clock

❑Enter on the TriChannel® backplane of the ONline System Concentrator.

Outgoing signals from the TriChannel backplane are:

❑Sent directly to transceivers

❑Transmitted to twisted pair link segments by the transceivers
