1. INTRODUCTION
This guide is intended for the system or network administrator responsible for installing and monitoring a TRANSITION Networks PowerStar™ IV. A working knowledge of AS/400™ peripheral connections and operations, including familiarity with communications protocols used, is assumed.
The PowerStar™ IV
The PowerStar™ IV (PSIV-2/14-11, PSIV-2/14-45) is an active star repeater for AS/400™ and S/3x environments that can be used for converting a twinax daisy chain topology to an unshielded twisted pair star topology.
• The PowerStar IV is designed to support all 5250 compliant devices operating at approximately 1Mbps.
• Host controller link can be connected either through a twisted pair connector at the front of the PowerStar™ IV or, if one of the optional Slide-In Cards (SICs) is installed, through twinax or fiber connectors at the back of the PowerStar™ IV.
• Twisted pair port connections are identified, by PowerStar™ IV model number as either RJ-11 or RJ-45 connectors.
• Separate transceiver circuitry isolates each port.
• The following pin configurations are selectable:
RJ-11 pins 3 & 4 or 2 & 5 optionally active
(factory default: pins 3 & 4 active)
RJ-45 pins 1 & 2, 3 & 6, or 4 & 5 optionally activ;
(factory default: pins 4 & 5 active).

Connectors, Switches and Status Indicators
Connectors
One Left Link (host) connector and one Right Link (host) connector are located at the front of the PowerStar™ IV. These connectors each provide an RJ twisted pair link to AS/400™ or S/3x host signals. Fourteen (14) terminal device connectors, labeled 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, provide RJ twisted pair connection for distributing the AS/400™ or S/3x host signals to terminal devices such as computer terminals and printers. The port connectors are arranged in sets of seven which are located next to each of the link connectors.
(AT BACK) Slide-In cards (SICs), when installed, provide either twinax host connectors or fiber TX and RX host connectors. A connector to external power also is located at the back of the PowerStar™ IV.
Switches
The Polarity Setting Switches are used to set the polarity sense of the active RJ pins for the Link (host) and Port (terminal device) connections.
Status Indicators (LEDs)
Line Sync and Parity Error Status Indicators (LEDs) are provided next to
each twisted pair RJ connector for monitoring data transfer. The Power LED indicates PowerStar™ IV connection to external power.

NOTE: All cable lengths must be greater than 25 feet (7.6 meters).
Connecting Twisted Pair Link Cable
When installing twisted pair cable, attach a balun to the AS/400 or S/3x twinax port, then attach the twisted pair cable between the balun and the RJ Link connector on the PowerStar IV.
CAUTION: Do NOT use a balun to connect twisted pair cable to twinax cable. A mid-link media change may degrade the signal and result in data loss.
NOTE: When twisted pair cable is used, compatible baluns must be selected according to the chart on page 4, the RJ-11 or RJ-45 connector pin settings must be configured as shown on page 8, and the polarity switch must be set as shown on page 18.
To connect link cable to PowerStar IV link connectors:
1. Locate or build twisted pair cables that conform to specifications on page 23 and to conditions noted above, with minimum length of 25 feet (7.6 meters) and with male RJ-11 or RJ-45 plug connectors installed at both cable ends.
2. Connect male RJ-11 or RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to a Link port on the PowerStar IV RJ-11 or RJ-45 jack connector.
3. Connect balun to the twinax port on the host computer.
4. Connect male RJ-11 or RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to balun installed on the host in step 3.
