Note: Each twisted pair cable between two hubs is counted as one network segment.
When cascading hubs daisy-chain style through the twisted pair cable, stay within
Ethernet specifications and make sure the total hub count does not exceed five hubs.

Connecting to the BNC Port

The BNC port at the rear panel of the Model EN516 hub is used for connecting to a thin coaxial
segment. You can connect servers, workstations, or other devices to the BNC port or several Model
EN516 hubs as shown in Figure 3-5. By using the BNC port for cascading, you treat each
connected hub as just another node on the coaxial segment.
When using the BNC interface, follow these steps:
Insert the BNC T-connector on the BNC port of the Model EN516 hub.
1.
Connect the coaxial cable that leads from a device on the network to one of the
2.
self-locking ends of the BNC T-connector.
