Network Topologies
Which network topologies can be implemented?
Using the SCALANCE X101-1AUI Industrial Ethernet media converter, a transition between
TP and AUI technology can be implemented in bus or star topologies.
2.2
Coupling of Network Segments
The coupling shown here as an example illustrates the connection of an Industrial Ethernet
switch to an existing 10Base5 segment.

X101-1AUI
Note
SCALANCE X101-1AUI is a repeater. This has to be considered when connecting and
designing the network topology (repeater rule).
