Introducing
the
BNC Module
The Asanté 2072 BNC multiport repeater module is a single-slot
card that plugs into any slot in the AsantéHub 2072 chassis. As a
separate repeater/retiming unit, this module continues to function
even if other modules malfunctions in the same chassis.
The BNC module has the following features:
❏ AUI connector, which can serve as the 13th port for
uplinking to an Ethernet backbone
❏ Hot swap capable
❏ Partition, Link/Receive LEDs display link status for each
of the ten ports
❏ Full compliance with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specifications
for 10Base2
Figure 1 shows the BNC module, single-slot.

The BNC module can be assigned to either of the chassis’ two
Ethernet segments or it can remain isolated from a segment for
testing or balancing traffic. You can connect to other devices, such
as computers and printers, using thin Ethernet.
You can access individual port information through the Network
Management Module by running AsantéView’s In-Band and or Out-
of-Band network management software.
❖
Important:
All BNC ports are terminated internally by a
50 ohm resistor.
