Network 9000 Communication Options
The communication options for the Network 9000 include 10 Base T and FOIRL concentrators,
Ethernet-to-FDDI bridge-routers, Token Ring Concentrators, Tri-Port Ethernet Repeaters,
multiport LAN and WAN bridge-routers and terminal servers. Native Network 9000 product
modules can be soft switched to any compatible midplane Ethernet LAN segment. A
MAXserver adaptor module allows cards developed for the MAXserver family of
communications options to be installed in the Network 9000 Hub. MAXserver cards can only
be connected to midplane Ethernet LAN segment A.
