5. VX-3000F CONNECTION
5.1. LAN Link Connector Connections
Connect the LAN link connectors of all VX-3000F units within the system to each other via switching hubs.
Connect each of LAN link connectors A and B to the same switching hub or different switching hubs connected
instarconguration.
Also, since the VX-3000F has a HUB function compatible with RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), loop
connection is allowed between the VX-3000F units without the use of switching hubs.
Notes
• MaketheLANlinkconnectorscompletelyindependentfromotherLAN.
• BesuretouseSTPCategory5straightcable(withR45connectors)forconnectingLANlinkconnectors.
• The distance between each of VX-3000F and a switching hub, and between switching hubs is less than 100 m.
• BesuretomakeconnectionsofbothterminalsAandB.
• Whenusingmultipleswitchinghubs,makeastarconnectionasshownintheexamples4.

LAN link A
A method of connecting a single unit's LAN Link A and B terminals to each different switching hub to prevent
the system from going down when a cable is broken or power fails.
