The Front Panel The Front Panel The front panel displays the following connectors and LEDs: ❏ AUI connector ❏ AUI Uplink LED ❏ Six fiber optic ports (one transmit and one receive connector per port); twelve ports for double-slot version ❏ Partition, Link/Receive LEDs ❏ Segment LEDs 1 and 2 Figure 3 illustrates the 10BaseF front panel.
AsantéHub 2072 10BaseF Module Installation Guide Interpreting the LEDs The LEDs on the front panel can be categorized into four separate groups: ❏ AUI port link/receive ❏ Port-by-port partition ❏ Port-by-port link/receive ❏ Segment configuration Table 2 identifies the LEDs (starting from the left side of the panel), and their meaning.
Cable Connections to Other Devices Cable Connections to Other Devices The 10BaseF module provides two types of connectors for attachment to other devices: ❏ AUI for attachment to the backbone and other hubs ❏ Fiber connectors (six 10BaseF ports, single slot; twelve 10BaseF ports, double-slot) for attachment to network devices. Using the AUI to Connect to the Backbone The AUI port (DB-15 connector) is typically used to interconnect hubs to an Ethernet backbone.
AsantéHub 2072 10BaseF Module Installation Guide 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 MAUs, to accommodate your backbone cabling scheme. To interconnect hubs using the AUI Uplink port, attach a MAU to the AUI port on the first hub. Attach a cable appropriate for the MAU you are using. Attach another MAU to the AUI port on the second hub.
