To use an IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL transceiver to interconnect the
Model 2813SA hub and other hubs, follow these steps:
1.
Disable the SQE test on an IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL transceiver
(for example, a Model 504A transceiver).
2.
Connect an AUI cable between the AUI port on the Model 2813SA
hub and the AUI port on the transceiver.
3.
Connect a fiber optic cable between the transceiver and another
optical port (for example, a port on a Model 3304A Host Module
in a Model 3000 Concentrator) at the next higher level in the network
hierarchy.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each Model 2813SA hub that is to be inter-
connected through an IEEE 802.3 transceiver.
Connecting the AUI Port to Coaxial Backbone
You can use the AUI port to connect a Model 281xSA hub to a coaxial
backbone through an IEEE 802.3 MAU. Figure 3-13 shows a Model 2813SA
hub and a Model 2803/2813SA cluster connected to a coaxial backbone
through IEEE 802.3 MAUs. An AUI cable is connected between the AUI port
on each Model 28x3 hub and the MAU. The SQE test is disabled on each MAU
connected to the AUI port on a Model 28x3 hub.
NOTE:
The IEEE 802.3 rules require you to disable the SQE test function
on the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL transceiver connected to the AUI port of the
Model 2813SA hub.
NOTE:
The IEEE 802.3 rules require you to disable the SQE test function on
an IEEE 802.3 MAU connected to the AUI port of the Model 28x3 hub.
