Installation 3-9
Connecting to the AUI Port
The AUI port at the rear panel of the Model EN516 hub is normally used for connecting a thick
coaxial segment.
When using the AUI port, refer to Figure 3-6 and follow these steps:
1.
Connect the AUI port on the hub to an external coaxial transceiver through an AUI
transceiver cable.
With the right type of transceiver, you could use the AUI port to connect to most types of
network media, including 10BASE-T twisted pair, thin coaxial, thick coaxial, and 10BASE-FL
fiber optic cables.
2.
Disable the signal quality error (SQE) test function for each external transceiver
connected to the AUI port.
Refer to your transceiver documentation for information about disabling the SQE test
function.
3.
Proceed to “Completing and Verifying the Installation” on page 3-11.
