What Next?
If your network consists of a standalone AsantéHub and attached devices,
congratulations! — you are finished installing your network.
If you are installing a multiple-hub network, you have two more steps to
complete.
Step 7. Making Network Connections
If you are adding a second hub to the network, you need to make network
connections between the hubs. There are three basic options for network
connections:
• BNC, which generally connects the AsantéHub to a thin
Ethernet backbone
• AUI, which generally connects the AsantéHub to a thick
Ethernet backbone, or may connect through a transceiver to a
fiber backbone.
• Unshielded twisted-pair, which uses RJ-45 cables to create
tree networks (also known as hierarchical star networks) or to
cascade hubs.
