Federal Communications Commission Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio

Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many

electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are,

therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two

classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may

reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are

those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (i.e., personal

computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential

of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices have

an FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device

is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

NOTE:

If this equipment contains a Token Ring interface, this equipment is a

Class A digital device when the Token Ring interface is utilized.

Class A Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct

the interference at personal expense.

Canadian Notice

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment

Regulations.

Avis Canadien

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel

brouilleur du Canada.

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are

not expressly approved by Compaq Computer Corporation may void the user's authority to operate the

equipment.

Cables

Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods in

order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations.

Chapter 1

Overview

Compaq Netelligent 2524, 2624, 3512, and 3612 100Base-T repeaters are

designed to bring reliable 100 Mb/s performance to your desktop. Compaq

Smart Uplink technology lets you interconnect managing versions of these

repeaters (Models 2624 and 3612) to increase the diameter of your network

beyond the normal limitations set by 100Base-T Class 1 specifications. You can

also integrate the repeater into your existing 10Base-T network using a switch,

bridge, or router. These repeaters offer a wide array of features for a versatile,

low-cost stackable repeater solution.

These Netelligent repeaters are available in the following models:

■

Netelligent 2524 — 24-port unmanaged 100Base-TX repeater

(Part Number 267001-001)

■

Netelligent 2624 — 24-port managing 100Base-TX repeater

(Part Number 267000-001)

■

Model 3512 — 12-port unmanaged 100Base-TX repeater

(Part No. 267008-001)

■

Model 3612 — 12-port managing 100Base-TX repeater

(Part No. 267007-001)

Features

These Netelligent repeaters provide these features:

■

24 RJ-45 ports for 2524/2624; 12 RJ-45 ports for 3512/3612

■

One Smart Uplink slot for a Smart Uplink module (SUM) and one

console port for Telnet and TFTP (Models 2624 and 3612 only)

■

24 bi-colored LED indicators (12 for Models 3512 and 3612) show port

activity, port link, and port disable/auto partition; other LEDs show

collisions, the power supply status, and the management status of the

repeater

File Name:2636_1.doc Last Saved On:12/4/96 3:13 PM

■

Smart Uplink capability extends the distance between repeaters to up to

100 meters/328 feet (or 412 meters/1352 feet with fiber). This allows

integration of multiple 100 Mb/s repeaters into an existing 100Base-T

configuration without normal repeater hop limitations.

■

TX, FX (ST), and FX (SC) Smart Uplink modules available

■

Four-group RMON (Remote MONitor) support allows remote diagnostic

monitoring via the network management system (Model 3612 only)

■

Fast Ethernet wiring standards ensure compatibility with all types of

UTP cabling

■

2524/2624 repeaters are stackable up to three units high (as long as the

stack contains a 2624 model), providing up to 72 workstation

connections. The 3512/3612 repeaters are stackable up to five units high

(as long as the stack contains a 3612 model), providing up to 60

workstation connections.

■

2524/2624 repeaters allow one backplane segment per stack, connected

via a backplane connection cable (Part No. 283305-001).

■

3512/3612 repeaters are segmentable on a per-unit basis; or, by

interconnecting repeaters with a FlexPlane backplane connection cable

(Part No. 810172-000), all repeaters in a stack can share up to three

common backplane segments.

■

Host/target design allows unmanaged repeaters (Models 2524 or 3512)

to be managed by a single managing repeater (Models 2624 or 3612).

■

2524 and 2624 repeaters provide an internal 110W power supply. 3512

and 3612 repeaters provide redundant hot-swappable load-sharing power

supply (90W) capability .

■

Compaq Netelligent Management Software is included free of charge

(2624 and 3612 managing units).

■

LED Indicators

The repeater has several LED indicators to help you monitor and manage the

repeater. Table 1-1 describes the repeater LEDs.

Model 2524/2624 LEDs

The LEDs on the left side of the front panel indicate the collision status, power

supply, and general status of the repeater. The LEDs above each RJ-45 port

indicate activity on those ports. When you power on a managing 2624 repeater,

it performs a power-on self test (POST). The POST lasts approximately 1

minute. After the POST, all LEDs automatically change to their operational

modes.

Model 3512/3612 LEDs

The LEDs on the left side of the front panel indicate the status of both power

supplies (PWR A/main and PWR B/redundant) and the general repeater status.

The LEDs on the right side of the front panel show the collision status of the

repeater and the current backplane selection (1, 2, or 3). The LEDs above each

RJ-45 port indicates activity on those ports.

When you power on the managing 3612 repeater, it performs a power-on self

test (POST). The POST lasts approximately 1 minute, depending on the amount

of DRAM installed in the repeater (see Appendix C “Upgrading the DRAM”).

After the POST, all LEDs automatically change to their operational modes.

stack, set one dip switch to TARGET and the other to HOST.

Flashing Green  The 2524 repeater dip switch is set to UNM, which overrides the non-volatile port

enables from the 2624 managing repeater. Reset the 2524 dip switch to MAN.

Flashing Green  In a stack with one 2624 managing repeater and one or more 2524 repeaters, you

have set a 2524 repeater dip switch(es) to UNM. This setting overrides the non-volatile port enables

from the 2624 managing repeater. Reset the 2524 dip switch(es) to MAN.

Model 3612)

Green  Shows the currently selected backplane

Off  Shows that the backplane is not currently selected

NOTE: LEDs listed as “Yellow” might appear orange on the front panel.

RJ-45 Ports

The repeater’s RJ-45 ports allow connection to UTP or STP cabling to

workstations and servers in a 100Base-T network.

Smart Uplink Slot (2624, 3512/3612 Models)

The Smart Uplink slot houses a Smart Uplink module (SUM), which serves as a

connection point between repeaters, repeater stacks, and other manufacturers'

100Base-T repeaters or stacks. Smart Uplink modules let you extend your

network without the usual repeater hop limitations inherent with Class I

repeaters. Figure 1-4 shows the Smart Uplink modules.
