Installation
Network Configuration
Figure 2 shows two sample network configurations using the LTR-T. Figure 2a shows a
simple network configuration using only 10BASE-T segments; Figure 2b shows a more
complex configuration using Thickwire Ethernet and interconnected LTR-T units. In
Figure 2b, the LTR-T on the left is directly connected from the AUI to the transceiver,
while the LTR-T on the right is connected from the AUI to a Local Network Interconnect
device.
You can connect one or more 10BASE-T segments to the LTR-T, one to each port on the
back of the unit. Additionally, you can connect multiple LTR-T units together, making
sure that there are no more than four LTR-T units between any two nodes. See the
Interconnection section below for important notes about interconnecting LTR-Ts. You
can also attach a transceiver to the AUI port to attach to 10BASE-T or Thinwire media.
If you need more information about rules you must follow when setting up your network,
refer to Appendix B.
