Examples of Use
Interconnect of Two Mixed Nodes
For each node, the Fast Ethernet Interconnect Base Kit corresponding to the node type is
used. A Fast Ethernet crossed cable (CBLG161–1900) is automatically generated for
linking the two nodes. It means that the two Fast Ethernet cables (CBLG179–1900)
included the Fast Ethernet Interconnect Base Kits are not used in this case.
Interconnect of 3 up to 8 Nodes
The Fast Ethernet Interconnect Base Kit components and DCKU117–0000 are used
together to set up an Ethernet–based interconnect between more than two nodes:
• There are as many Fast Ethernet Interconnect Base Kit components as nodes to be
interconnected,
• For each node, the selected Fast Ethernet Interconnect Base Kit corresponds to the
node type,
• and there is a Fast Ethernet Switch (DCKU117–0000) for a 100Mbps Ethernet
interconnect.
Fast Ethernet Switch 3300 overview:
The SuperStack II Fast Ethernet Switch 3300 10/100 12–port provides Ethernet and Fast
Ethernet Switching in one switch.
It has 12 copper autosensing 10BASE–T / 100BASE–TX RJ45 ports. It supports both full &
half duplex on all ports which is able to provide 200 Mbps of bandwidth to the connected
device, with auto–negotiation. These ports can be set to 10BASE–T, 100BASE–TX or they
can automatically detect the speed of a link. It allows connection to Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet devices over a maximum length of 100m using data grade category 5 twisted pair
cable.
Local management can be performed via an RS–232 (DB–9 port) line. In–band Web
management of the Switch 3300 model is available from any node connected to the fast
ethernet switch, through a Web browser.
