Interconnecting via the BNC Port
Interconnecting via the BNC Port
To connect multiple hubs using the BNC Port on the hubs:
1
Connect each hub to a T-connector on a properly terminated
thin cable backbone.
Make sure not to exceed the maximum distance length or node
count guidelines as specified by the 802.3 specifications.
▲
Caution:
Only one connection (via thin Ethernet or UTP)
is allowed between two hubs. Failure to comply with
this rule will result in network disruption due to a data
path loop. If you don’t cascade in a hierarchy, you can
use all the ports.

Interconnecting via the AUI Port
The AUI port can be used to interconnect hubs through a thick coaxial cable
backbone (thick Ethernet) or other media (i.e., Fiber Optic, Unshielded
Twisted-Pair, Broadband, etc.) by using an external tranceiver to connect to
the port.
▲
SQE must be disabled on all devices on the thick coaxial
cable.
