FlexPointTM 10AUI/T User Instructions

Description:

The FlexPointTM 10AUI/T transceiver is an IEEE 802.3 compatible Ethernet unshielded twisted pair (UTP) trans- ceiver that provides physical medium connection to devices featuring Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) connectors. It can be powered from the AUI connector, an external AC or 48VDC power adapter or a 14-unit Powered Chassis.

The FlexPoint 10AUI/T has a 15-pin AUI connector that attaches to a mating AUI connector mounted on hosting Ethernet DTE equipment such as a workstation or a PC, or on a repeater such as a hub or a switch.

This FlexPoint 10AUI/T model is described here:

Model Maximum Distance

4321 100 meters

Operating in Half-Duplex, the FlexPoint 10AUI/T fea- tures a switch selectable SQE test function that pro- vides diagnostic information to the hosting station. It also provides LED status about network conditions that assist in network installation and maintenance.

The 4321 model can be used stand-alone, wall-mounted, rack-mounted on a 5-unit shelf or in a 14-unit AC or 48VDC Powered Chassis.

Power Adapter Notice:

1.When using in a stand-alone configuration, this product can be powered from the AUI port and does not require an external power source.

2.If the AUI port is not capable of providing power to the FlexPoint 10AUI/T and when using in a stand- alone configuration, this product is intended to be and must be used only with a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” and rated at 9Vdc, 1 Amp.

3.When using an external power source, this product should always be used only with Omnitron Supplied Power Unit model number 9113-PS.

WARNING!

Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify that the power on the unit is appropriate

for your AC line voltage source.

Mounting and Cable Attachment:

The FlexPoint 10AUI/T can be mounted using a wall- mounting kit. It can also be rack-mounted using a 5-Module shelf or a high-density 14-unit FlexPoint Powered Chassis.

Connect the FlexPoint 10AUI/T to the 15-pin AUI port on a PC, workstation, hub or switch; slide the connector latch locking it into place. The AUI cable is limited to 50 meters . Attach a UTP category 3 or higher cable to the RJ45 connector. Note that the total length of the cable should not exceed 100 meters.

Switch Settings:

“RJ45 Cross-Over” Switch: When connecting the UTP to a hub or switch, set switch to “Straight-Through” (factory setting). When connecting to a workstation, set it to “Cross- Over.”

“SQE” switch: When attaching to a PC (or a workstation), the SQE switch should be set to “SQE Enable” (factory setting). When connecting to a hub or a switch, it should be set to “SQE Disable.”

“UTP Range” switch: Set this switch according to the required distance of the UTP connection. For normal operation, set it to ”100m” (factory setting). When distance of over 100m is required, set it to “>100m”.

Note that when used in the “>100m” mode, the sensitivity of the FlexPoint 10AUI/T is increased making it more sensitive both to signal and noise, so this mode should be used with caution when the distance requires it.
