Description
ETP1020N Fault Tolerant Transceiver (FTT) has an RJ45 to connect to the network device and two RJ45s for user selectable primary and secondary cable segments. The FTT hunts between these two segments to ensure that data can be transmitted at all times because the user has now added a fault tolerant redundant path. These two segments can be connected to a second ETP1020N or two ports of a standard 10BaseT Hub. The added insurance of dual power supply inputs makes the ETP1020N the first choice of MIS professionals with critical applications.
The user selectable parameter options, half or full duplex, segment A or B priority, hunt speed of 2.5 sec
or NO hunt, and ETP1020N to ETP1020N or ETP1020N to hub or LAN switch, makes this unit exceptionally flexible and ideal for many different applications.
Power option of 12 Vdc input or 24 Vdc input.
Monitoring of the unit is simple with a complement of 10 LEDs that display LK (link) and REC (receive) on each RJ45, ENBL (enable) on segments A & B, global COL (collision) and PWR (power).
Each RJ45 connector has its own crossover switch allowing installation with standard twisted pair cables and eliminating the need for bothersome cross over cables.
