Connecting to the Backbone Using the AUI Port
Connecting
Other Devices
The RJ45B Module provides two types of connectors for attaching
devices:
AUI connectors for connecting to the backbone
and to other hubs. One of the connectors accom-
modates a recessed Mini MAU.
RJ45 connectors (24 10BaseT ports) for attaching
to network devices
Connecting to the
Backbone Using the
AUI Port
You have two AUI connectors on the front panel—a recessed and
a non-recessed connector. The recessed AUI connector is designed
to accommodate an Asanté Mini MAU.
To connect the hub to the backbone, use one of the AUI connec-
tors. Use a MAU if your backbone is Thin, Fiber, or Twisted-Pair.
Note: Make sure SQE (Signal Quality Error) is dis-
abled on the MAU when it is attached to the AUI
connector.
In Figure 6, the hub is connected to a Fiber backbone using an
Asanté 10BaseF Mini MAU in the recessed AUI connector.
