5.1 Integrating various network topologies
HiPath HG 1500 is equipped with a 10/100 MB Autosense twisted-pair port.
5.1.1 Star topology with hub (10/100 BaseT)
In the case of this network topology, a hub or switch is used as a central element.
Each data terminal is connected to this via a separate twisted-pair cable (e.g. 10/100
BaseT-Ethernet). A standard hub emulates a bus internally. If a cable malfunctions,
only one terminal is affected. The integrated HiPath HG 1500 can be connected di-
rectly.

5.1.2 Bus topology (10 Base2)
The traditional, but now redundant cabling method for Ethernet LANs. Coaxial cable
is used to connect each data terminal via a T distributor to the main line. In a bus en-
vironment, the data terminals are only connected via the cable - no additional hard-
ware is required. However, because of the risk associated with failures and the limited
