Re: Display station connection question/issue?

["Alexei Pytel" <pytel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It's been awhile since I worked with twinax cabling, but...
I think that using baluns and twisted pair does not really support
chaining.
It kind of works usually, but it's a matter of luck. Your success depends
on the length of cable runs, on geometry etc.
Twisted pair has different impedance compared to twinax cable. Baluns
compensate it but it can't compensate properly when devices are chained.

Split your cables in two chains and connect to separate ports.

Subject:  Display station connection question/issue?



It's been a long time since I had to deal with this, so if someone can tell
me what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it.


Configuration


DSP01-----Twinax cable-----PRT01--Balun--network
cable--Balun--DSP02--Balun--network cable--Balun--DSP03


What happens is that DSP03 gets a signon but DSP02 does not, it stays Vary
On Pending... All other devices are ok.
 Any ideas or is this not possible?


I have double and triple checked addresses, they are ok.  Have swapped
network cables with ones I know work and same result. Swapped baluns with
ones I know work, no diff....
