Installing the Repeater
This chapter explains how to mount the 100Base-TX repeater, attach cables,
and interconnect the repeater to a second 100Base-TX repeater.
Mounting the Repeater
You can place the repeater on a level surface (table top or shelf, for example)
or mount it in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
Attaching the Rubber Feet
If you will place the repeater on a table top or shelf, attach the supplied
adhesive-backed rubber feet as described in the following steps.
1. Turn the repeater over so that its bottom side faces up.
2. Remove the four rubber feet from their packaging.
3. Peel the protective paper backing off the rubber feet.
4. Then position the feet near the corners of the repeater and press the feet
into place.
5. Turn the repeater to its upright position and place it on the mounting
surface.
NOTE: Be sure you allow at least 2 inches (5.1 centimeters) on each side of the
repeater for proper air flow.
Rack-Mounting the Repeater
To mount the repeater in a rack, you must use the RKIT02 installation kit (not
supplied). This kit includes two side mounting brackets and eight screws to
secure the brackets. To attach the brackets, position them as shown in Figure
3-1. Then secure the brackets with the screws supplied with the mounting kit.
