Cabling for Redundant Links
Redundant links may be easily installed. For example, twisted-pair wiring might
be used as a backup to a thin Ethernet backbone, as illustrated below.
!
CAUTION: When using Thin and Thick Ethernet
cabling, make sure that the T-connector on the BNC port does not
touch the AUI connector. Make a firm connection to the BNC port
and ensure that the weight of the cable does not twist the T-
connector into contact with the AUI connector.
The hub automatically senses the presence of physical links. Using its default
setting, it automatically selects a link using the priority sequence: AUI, 10T, BNC.
The hub may also be set in hardware to use AUI only (see “Default Settings” in
this manual). AsantéView’s Port Control window also configures redundant link
settings; see the AsantéView manual for your version of AsantéView.
