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.
