Cable Connections to Other Devices

Cable

Connections to

Other Devices

The 10BaseF module provides two types of connectors for attach-

ment to other devices:

❏

AUI for attachment to the backbone and other hubs

❏

Fiber connectors (six 10BaseF ports, single slot; twelve

10BaseF ports, double-slot) for attachment to network

devices.

Using the AUI to

Connect to the

Backbone

The AUI port (DB-15 connector) is typically used to interconnect

hubs to an Ethernet backbone. The media type used determines

the type of external transceiver that is required.

To connect to the backbone using the AUI, attach a MAU such as

an Asanté 10T MAU to the AUI port and then connect the MAU to

the backbone. See Figure 4.

❖

Note: Make sure SQE (Signal Quality Error) is disabled on the

MAU when it is attached to the AUI port.

Figure 4 Using the AUI to Connect to the Backbone

Shown here is a ﬁber connection. You can use any media compati-

ble with the MAU connected to the module’s AUI port. Asanté

offers Mini MAUs supporting 10BaseT, 10Base2, and ﬁber media.
