Preface This guide includes information about how to install and operate the Compaq Netelligent 1124 100Base-TX Repeater. We recommend that you read all chapters in this guide to become familiar with all of the repeater's features and to ensure a successful installation.
Chapter 1 Introduction Compaq’s Netelligent 1124 100Base-TX Repeater provides functionality for 24 RJ-45 ports. The repeater's uplink capability lets you connect the repeater to another repeater or other 100Base-TX repeater. For backup power, you can install an optional redundant power supply. The repeater's front panel makes it easy to view the current operating status.
Before you start to install the repeater, verify that this package contains the following items: 1124 100Base-TX Repeater (Part Number 267024-001) AC power cord Rack-mounting kit (two mounting brackets, eight 3/8-inch bracket screws, and four 1/2-inch rack-mount screws) Four adhesive-backed rubber feet Compaq Netelligent 1124 100Base-TX Repeater User Guide Warranty card...
Introduction Operational Overview This section provides an overview of the repeater's components, which include the LED indicators, RJ-45 ports, and uplink ports, and discusses the basic functionality of the repeater.

Electrical Requirements The electrical requirements for a repeater are as follows: 100 to 240 VAC 1.5 to 0.75 Amps (1.5 Amps @ 100 VAC to 0.75 A @ 240 VAC) 50 to 60 Hz 1124 100Base-TX Repeater User Guide...
Planning Repeater Installation CAUTION: grounded outlet. Do not use a three-to-two pronged adapter at the outlet. Doing so may result in electrical shock and/or damage to the repeater and will void your warranty. NOTE: If the supplied power cord is lost or damaged, replace it with a power cord of the same type and current rating (10 A).

Installing the Repeater 1. Remove the two screws from the left and right side of the repeater. (These screws are extras and are not needed to install the mounting brackets.) 2. Position the bracket as shown in Figure 3-1, and secure it with the smaller bracket screws.
OUT ports let you interconnect the repeater and another repeater without the need for special crossover cables and allows the two repeaters to be on the same segment. MDI-X MDI-X 100Base-TX Workstation MDI MDI-X 1124 100Base-TX Repeater User Guide...
......Installing the Repeater The default setting for the uplink switches is MDI-X (Media Dependent Interface-Reversed, that is, a standard IN repeater port).

Installing the Repeater Figure 3-5. Connecting the Power Cable WARNING: The repeater has no power switch. Connecting the repeater to the power source via the power cable’s three-pronged plug powers up the repeater 2. Insert the three-pronged plug on the power cable into a non-switched, grounded power outlet on a wall, a power strip, or a grounded extension cord.
The repeater comes with a pre-installed, 90-watt power supply module (PWR A). You can install an optional redundant power supply module (PWR B) for backup power. Contact your authorized Compaq reseller for information about ordering an additional power supply module or a replacement.
