Twisted Pair Transceiver
Description
The 1785-TR10BT twisted pair transceiver can be connected to the AUI 
interface of a device either directly or via an AUI cable. It is connected to 
the twisted pair cable by a 8-pin RJ45 socket.
The twisted pair transceiver offers these functions according to IEEE 802.3 
10BASE-T:
•
indication via a LED of data transmission and reception through the 
twisted pair cable
•
detection of data collisions in the network and reporting them to the 
terminal equipment as well as indicating them by a LED
•
ability to enable/disable the SQE test: at the end of every transmit 
operation, a short collision signal (heart beat) approx. 1 µs long is sent to 
monitor the electronics
•
jabber control and display: protecting the network form data packets that 
are too long (> 20 ms)
•
link control and display: continious moni-toring the twisted pair cable 
segment with link test pulses for short-circuits or idling
•
auto polarity exchange (APX) and display: the polarity is reversed 
automatically if the receiving wire pair is connected incorreclty (RD+ 
and RD- switched round)
