AUI/Xcvr Slot
Optional transceiver modules can be installed in the hubs’ AUI/Xcvr slot
to provide additional connectivity choices, including:
HP Fiber-Optic Transceiver Module (HP J2606A)—for 10Base-FL
HP Twisted-Pair Transceiver Module (HP J2607A)—for 10Base-T
HP ThinLAN Transceiver Module (HP J2608A)—for 10Base2
HP AUI Port Module (HP J2609A)—to attach external transceivers
See the documentation accompanying the optional transceiver modules
for cabling configurations for those modules.
Note In order to use an external transceiver with an HP AdvanceStack
10Base-T Hub, the SQE Test and Loopback Test options, if present, must
be disabled on the transceiver. Transceivers that cannot disable these
tests cannot be used with the HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hubs.
An HP 28641A ThinMAU does not meet this requirement and cannot be
used. Use an HP 28641B ThinLAN transceiver instead.
Similarly, an HP 30241A ThickMAU with a date code D-3017 or earlier
cannot be used. (The date code is found on a small white sticker on the
body of the device. Lower numbers indicate an earlier manufacturing
date.) Instead, use an HP 30241A with date code F-3105 or later and
follow the instructions included with the ThickMAU for disabling the
SQE Test.
