Connecting to Thick Coaxial Cable
Ethernet
The AUI connector on the hub can be used to connect a 10BASE-5 thick
Ethernet coaxial cable segment to the hub. This allows network stations on
the thick coaxial cable to communicate with network stations on the
10BASE-2 thin coaxial cables.
Do the following steps to connect a thick coaxial cable Ethernet to the hub.
1
Make sure the transceiver cable (AUI cable) distance between the
transceiver and the hub is not greater than 50 meters.
2
Disable the SQE test function of the Ethernet external trans-
ceiver.
3
Connect the AUI cable to the AUI (DB15) connector on the hub
and connect the other side of the AUI cable to an external trans-
ceiver, as shown in Figure 2-3.
