Shared 10 Mbps Connections to a Legacy LAN
SuperStack II Baseline hubs provide the
most cost-effective method of connecting
workgroups to a legacy LAN.
A transceiver interface module is used
to connect to a thin coaxial cable or thick
coaxial cable legacy backbone (via an
AUI and external transceiver). Similarly,
a transceiver interface module provides
a fiber link to another building.
Shared 10/100 Mbps in a Small-to-Medium Sized Office
SuperStack II Baseline Dual Speed Hubs
are used here to provide a small-to-
medium sized office (up to 42 network
connections) with a mixture of shared 10
Mbps and shared 100 Mbps links to the
desktop.
The Baseline Dual Speed Hub autosenses
those network devices capable of running
at 100 Mbps (such as the network servers
and the CAD/CAM workstations), and
provides them with a 100 Mbps link.
The link between the Baseline Dual
Speed Hubs will run at 100 Mbps.
* According to configuration rules in the Fast Ethernet specification (IEEE 802.3u), no more than two Class II Fast Ethernet repeaters
(such as the SuperStack II Baseline Dual Speed Hub) can be connected in a series. To expand the above network, a switch is needed.
