Abstract
A bidirectional repeater for Manchester encoded data (MED) signals present on a coaxial cable and fiber optic cable forming the transmission media of a local area network. The repeater receives and then reconstitutes the MED signals present on the coaxial cable and transmits the reconstituted MED signals onto the fiber optic cable. MED data present on the fiber optic cable is received, reconstituted, and transmitted onto the coaxial cable. Signals can be received from only one cable at any one time. Transmission of reconstituted MED signals is terminated when a special set of MED signals identifying the end of a transmission by a module of the network is received.
