Signal Equalizer Settings for Non Recommended Cable or Unknown Cable Lengths, Continued

Instructions & Examples

This procedure is for determining the DataNET Signal Equalizer Board settings for other than the recommended cable or if the cable run lengths are unknown.

 

Step

 

Action

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.

 

To determine appropriate settings for attenuator boards, be-

 

 

gin by measuring signal levels at the various ports (use either

 

 

Option 1 or 2).

 

 

 

 

Important

 

 

 

 

The cables should be removed from all but one port at a time.

 

 

This allows the one connected port to come on line and oper-

 

 

ate, thus allowing measurement of signal level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

 

Sequentially go through the ports, and measure and record

 

 

the signal level of the response

 

 

Example:
