Cabling The 10Base-5 (Aui) Module - 3Com CoreBuilder 2500 Getting Started Manual

Cabling the 10BASE-5 (AUI) Module

The 10BASE-5 (AUI) module contains four
10BASE-5 ports that use four female 15-pin, D
subminiature, Attachment Unit Interface (AUI)
connectors.
The AUI is a DTE interface that must be attached to
a transceiver through a standard AUI cable. This
configuration allows a standard 10BASE-5 segment
to be attached to one of the Ethernet ports of the
module. The AUI interface is designed to attach the
CoreBuilder system to an Ethernet segment, not to
an individual station.
To cable the 10BASE-5 (AUI) module:
Ensure the slide latch on the AUI port connector is
1
open.
Attach the DB-15 male connector on the AUI cable
2
to the selected port on the module.
Lock the slide latch on the connector.
3
Attach the other end of the 10BASE-5 cable to a
4
transceiver on the segment.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining ports on
5
the module.
Figure 4-10 shows the cabling of the 10BASE-5
(AUI) module using 10BASE-5 cabling.
