Cable Connections to Other Devices
Using the AUI to
Interconnect Hubs
You can interconnect hubs using the AUI Uplink port located on
the module’s front panel. Asanté provides an RJ45, BNC, and
10BaseF Mini MAU to accommodate your backbone cabling
scheme.
To interconnect hubs using the AUI Uplink port, attach a MAU to
the AUI port on the module’s front panel of the first hub. Attach a
cable appropriate for the MAU you are using. Attach another MAU
to the AUI port on the second hub. Figure 5 shows a BNC module
in the first hub connected to a BNC module in the second hub
using BNC MAUs and BNC cabling as the backbone.
❖
Note: Make sure SQE (Signal Quality Error) is disabled on
the MAU when it is attached to the AUI port.

Note: Use Asanté Mini MAUs that are appropriate for
your backbone cabling type when interconnecting hubs
on the same backbone.
❖
Note: The BNC Mini MAU can be manually terminated by
setting the switch located on the side of the MAU.
