Table F.2: "Straight" ISDN BRI cable
Point-to-Point
: allows one TE (Terminal Equipment) device that may be up to 1 km from the NT
(Network Termination) unit.
Short Passive Bus
: allows connection of up to 8 TE devices in parallel on the S/T bus. Each TE
terminal can be connected at any point of the bus within 100 to 200 meters from the NT unit.
Extended Passive Bus
: allows connection to 8 TE terminals at distances of up to 500 meters from
the NT terminal. All TE devices are situated at the end of the bus, with maximum distance between
them 25 - 50 meters.
An ISDN S-bus must be terminated twice, once at the start and once at the end of the bus, with
100-ohm resistors. In the common case that the NT unit is at one end of the bus, the NT will have 100-ohm
terminators applied, and the farthest TE terminal device will have 100-ohm terminator.
When configured to operate in NT mode, the OxyGEN miniOffice BRI interface emulates the NT unit,
whereas when configured to operate in TE mode, it emulates the TE terminal. In any case, depending
on the bus topology, it frequently must be terminated with 100-ohm resistance. To this end, the OxyGEN
miniOffice has for each BRI interface configurable switches to apply a 100-ohm termination to the
S-Interface signal pairs (
On
position) or not (
Off
position). These switches, depending on the OxyGEN
miniOffice model, are located either below the BRI interfaces or at the bottom of the device.
