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.
