What are the main functions of the signal repeater?

1. The repeater regenerates the signal to connect two network segments to make the signal spread farther;
2. Repeaters are generally used in linear cable systems such as Ethernet;
3. The repeater works at the lowest layer of the protocol layer;
4. The repeater is a regenerator, which has nothing to do with the protocol and access method, so the two sections must use the same medium access method;
5. The network segment connected by the repeater becomes part of the same network and has the same network address;
6. The installation position of the repeater is very important, it should be installed before the signal attenuation, generally used in a single building.
