Connecting Other Devices
Interconnecting Hubs
Using the AUI Port
You can interconnect hubs using the AUI Uplink port located on
the module’s front panel. Use the appropriate MAU for your back-
bone.
∆
Asanté provides an RJ45B, BNC, and 10BaseF Mini
MAU to accommodate your backbone cabling
scheme.
To interconnect hubs using the AUI Uplink port
1
Attach the appropriate MAU (if you are not using thick
Ethernet) to the AUI port on of the first hub.
2
Attach the Ethernet cable.
3
Attach a MAU to the AUI port on the second hub.
Figure 7 shows a 24-port RJ45B Module in the first
hub connected to a AsantéHub 2072 RJ45 Module in
the second hub. A recessed Asanté BNC Mini MAU
connects the hub to the BNC backbone.
∆ Note: Make sure the MAU SQE (Signal Quality
Error) is disabled when the MAU is attached to
the AUI port.
