FCC NOTICE
WARNING
: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment uses,
generates, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed in accordance
with the operator's manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference in which case the user will be required at his own expense ot correct the
interference.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the transceiver with respect to the antenna.
• Move the transceiver away from the receiver.
• Plug the Ethernet device into a different outlet so that the device and the
receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ television
technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communication Commission helpful:
“How to Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems”

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Cabletron Systems’TPT™ 10BASE-T
Twisted Pair Transceiver User’s Manual. We have
designed this manual as a simple installation and reference
guide to the TPT. The TPT provides 10BASE-T compliant
twisted pair connectivity to your Ethernet network.You
should read this manual thoroughly to fully understand the
TPT and its capabilities.
1.1 USINGTHIS MANUAL
Chapter 1,
Introduction
, is an overview of the TPT
10BASE-T Twisted Pair Transceiver. This chapter shows
how to use the TPT in an Ethernet network and explains
the TPT’s features.
Chapter 2,
Requirements and Specifications
,
contains
network design guidelines for connecting the TPT to the
network. The chapter also contains the specifications for
the TPT.
INTRODUCTION
1-2
Chapter 3,
Installing the TPT
,
contains steps for
unpacking the TPT, setting the SQE switch, connecting the
transceiver to the network, and connecting the transceiver
to an Ethernet device.
Chapter 4,
Testing and Troubleshooting
,
contains
procedures for verifying that theTPT is operational. It also
describes the LANVIEW™ LEDs, and how you can use
them to troubleshoot network problems.
Before you install the TPT, you should have a general
working knowledge of Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 type data
communications networks and their physical layer
components.

1.3 THETPT 10BASE-TTWISTED PAIR
TRANSCEIVER
Connections
The TPT (Fig. 1-1) is designed to connect two Ethernet
devices. Because the TPT is small, it can connect to
Ethernet devices directly, or you can connect it by means
of an AUI cable. The TPT fully conforms to IEEE 802.3
10BASE-T specifications and guarantees the flexibility to
connect to networks using IEEE 802.3 or EthernetVersion
1 or 2 equipment.

INTRODUCTION
1-4
The TPT 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Transceiver lets you use
existing twisted pair wiring as part of an Ethernet network.
Distance and Cable Type
The TPT supports an unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
segment, up to 100 meters (328 feet) of 24AWG UTP with
an impedance of 85-110 ohms.
Signal Quality Error (SQE) Test
The TPT has a Signal Quality Error (SQE) Test Switch
that lets you turn on or off the SQE (“heartbeat”) test
function. With SQE Test turned on, the transceiver
generates a test signal after each packet transmission that
checks the collision circuit and path between the TPT and
the device attached to the transceiver’s AUI port.
NOTE:
You must disable the SQE test if you attach the
TPT to Version 1 equipment or to a repeater. Version 1
equipment and repeaters interpret the SQE test pulse as a
collision, which significantly slows the network response
time.
Polarity Detection and Correction
The TPT incorporates a Polarity Detection and Correction
feature. This feature lets the TPT pass data to and from the
Indice
