Figure 3-16. MDI-X/MDI switch set to MDI
2.
Connect the MDI port 1 of the Model 281xSA hub to any MDI-X
10BASE-T port on a hub at the next higher level in the network
hierarchy.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each Model 281xSA hub that is to be interconnected
through an MDI port 1 to another hub.
Multiple-hub Networks—Including System 3000 Products
The Model 281xSA Ethernet Hubs readily interconnect with SynOptics System
3000 products, using the same cabling procedures already described. You can
connect a Model 2813SA hub AUI port through a MAU or FOMAU to a host
port on a System 3000 concentrator, or you can connect a Model 2814SA hub
10BASE-FL port directly to an optical port located in a System 3000 concen-
trator. For detailed information about networks using System 3000 equipment,
see the LattisNet System 3000 Ethernet Connectivity Guide.
Figure 3-17 shows a typical network that combines a Model 3000 concentrator
with a Model 281xSA hub and a Model 281xSA/280x cluster. Both the single
hub and the cluster are connected to host ports on a Model 3304-ST Host
Module in the Model 3000 concentrator.
