Introduction • A repeater is a network device that is used to regenerate or replicate signals that are weakened or distorted by transmission over long distances and through areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Work of Repeater • Signal attenuation or signal loss – signal degrades over distance • Repeaters clean, amplify, and resend signals that are weakened by long cable length. • Built-in to hubs or switches
Advantages • Makes it easy to expand a network over a large distance. • Connection between various types of media [e.g. fiber optic, UTF, coaxial cable] is possible.
Disadvantages • Traffic cannot be filtered to ease congestion. • A repeater cannot work across multiple network architectures.
types • I. Active repeaters • Active repeaters feed power as well as converting the weak signal into its original form. • Example:voice transmission would require power feeding as well as converting the weak signal, active repeaters are used. • II. Passive repeaters • Passive repeaters act as a sort of a reflector only. • Example: satellites belong to this kind
Where Repeater Use? • Large house • Office • Warehouse • or other spaces where the existing signal is weak.
How to configure Repeater • *Physical Connection • Step 1: • Connect the Repeater directly to your computer’s Ethernet port by an Ethernet cable; • Power on the repeter.
Step 2 • Go to Start->Control Panel ->Network and Sharing Center (Windows XP: Go to Start->Control Panel->Network Connections)
Step 3: • Windows 7: Go to Network and Sharing Center>Change Adapter settings • Windows Vista: Go to Network and Sharing Center>Manage Network Connections • Windows XP: (Go to Next Step)
Step 4: • Windows 7, Vista and XP: • Right Click Local Area Connection >Select Properties > Double Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) . “Use the Following IP address:” • Type the following information: • 1. IP address: 192.168.0.10 • 2. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 • Click OK to exit • Click OK again to apply the settings. • Input the IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.10 • Click Apply
Step 5: • *Access the Management Page • Open a Web Browser -> Type 192.168.0.254 in the address bar -> Press Enter • *Run Quick Setup • *Relocate the Repeater • You may now relocate the Reapeter to a centralized location in order to make the most of Repeater Mode. • Congratulations! Your Repeater signal has been enhanced. All your devices have a more stable connection.
