Tip!
Repeaters do not have a station address but in the calculation of the
maximum number of stations they reduce the number of stations by 1 on each
side of the segment.
Repeaters can be used to build up line and tree topologies. In this case, the
maximum total bus system expansion depends on
the baud rate used
