We have a Sperry Usernet Network that uses the Omninet Junction boxes with the
twisted pair wire. I recently made new junction boxes because of the
unreliability of the boxes. The manual states that the junction boxes should
be terminated with a 100 ohm resistor. The original Omninet junction boxes
were terminated on the opposite ends of the network. I also terminated my new
boxes on the opposite ends of the network. Initially, the network seemed to
work fine. Recently, we have been having trouble with the network and are
making new boxes with shielded wiring. Someone told me that the terminator box
es should be located at least 5 ft. from the last node on the network. Does
anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance.
