Multi-hub Ethernet Network
If all your end nodes will access the network at 10 Mbps and you will connect
the DFE-904 to one or more other hubs, make connections as described in this
section.
Before making connections, check the rules and precautions and the mounting
instructions given in this guide. Make sure all requirements for safe, correct
operation have been met.
Important:
This section describes how to create a multi-hub 10-Mbps
network in which all the hubs are DFE-904 units. If you have
10BASE-T hubs of other kinds as well, see those hub's
manuals for instructions on making end node and uplink
connections.
All 10BASE-T hubs allow uplinking. On some, however, you
must set a switch to make a jack suitable for uplinking, and
on some the jack used for uplinking is labeled not Uplink
but MDI-
II
(medium-dependent interface, uncrossed).
Interconnecting Two 10BASE-T Hubs With two DFE-904 units working at
10 Mbps uplinked together, you can create a network that will accommodate
up to six end nodes. Interconnect the hubs as follows:
1. For the sake of identification, designate one hub as hub A and the other as
hub B.
