Connecting BayStack AN and ANH Systems to a Network
C-8 114074 Rev. A
Connecting the AUI Port to a Fiber-Optic Backbone
To connect an AN or ANH to a fiber-optic backbone, you must first connect an
IEEE 802.3 10Base-FL (or 10Base-FB) transceiver to the AUI port.
Figure
C-3 shows an example network with two 8-port ANH systems connected
via a fiber-optic backbone. An AUI cable connects each ANH to a transceiver that
has the SQE test function disabled. A fiber-optic cable connects the two
transceivers.
Caution: IEEE 802.3 rules require that the SQE test function be disabled on
an IEEE 802.3 MAU connected to an AUI port. If it is not disabled, the AUI
port could interrupt network transmissions until it autopartitions
(automatically goes off-line after 32 consecutive collisions).
