TLD2 TNET Line Driver

Each TLD2 port is isolated and protected from external noise and signal disturbances. If a cable is damaged or a terminal receives a power surge only terminals “down stream” from the disturbance are effected.

The TLD2 Line Driver functions as a signal amplifier by boosting all of the received signals. This enables cable runs of up to 2000 feet between each TLD2s and any adjacent device on the network (unless the cable also carries power).

The TLD2 can supply power to the attached terminals with some limitations. Powered terminals cannot be more than 100 feet from the TLD2, and different terminal options can effect a terminal’s power consumption (i.e. attaching a handheld laser scanner). Alternatively, a terminal with it’s own power adapter can be up located up to 2000 feet from its TLD2.

LED indicators on the IN, OUT and the six device ports visually indicate incoming data activity at that port. The “IN” indicator will signal that the TIM1B network controller or upstream TLD2 is properly connected and the controller is polling. The “OUT” L.E.D. indicates that devices further down the trunk are connected and responding correctly. The “1” through “6” L.E.D.s indicate that the terminal attached to that port is properly connected and responding.

The TLD2 has two power input jacks but is shipped with only one 1 AMP power adapter. Typically, the single adapter will provide power for the TLD2 and up to six (6) attached devices (depending on terminal options). If more power is required, another adapter can be connected to the second power jack. Additional power may be required if a card reader, laser or CCD scanner, or if some other high-powered device is attached to any of the terminals. In some cases, each terminal may need a separate power adapter. 

Up to 250 TNET terminals can be connected downstream on the TIM1B Network Controller using “daisy-chained” TLD2s connected in a “star-node” topology. 

All of the ports on the TLD2 are RJ45 8-pin modular jacks. The pin-to-signal assignments for the modular jacks are listed below. Notice that the device ports and the “OUT” port are identically pinned, but on the “IN” port, the transmit and receive pairs are reversed. This allows the use of straight through pin­to­pin modular cabling on the network.
