I have a pair of DEREP-RA remote ethernet repeaters used to link 2 thickwire
segments via fiber optics.   This application is no longer needed, and so I 
would like to use one of the repeater halves for something else.

I purchased a thinwire transceiver and want to plug it into the 'B'
transceiver port on one of the DEREP halves.  

Each half has port 'A' which goes to a local thickwire transceiver, and
a fiber connection and transceiver connection for port 'B'.  It seems,
however, that currently I can only send information from port A to port B
and not from B to A.  (it appears the transceiver port at B is dissabled)

Does anyone know how to enable that transceiver port at B.  There is
a set of jumper pins located between the transceiver ports, but there is
nothing said about it in the book.

Thanks for any help in advance.
