Introduction 1 - 3
Depending upon the type of bridge connection you select (backplane or
the AUI connection), an individual port can connect to any of the following
devices:
– ONline System Concentrator
– Ethernet transceivers
– Ethernet repeaters
– Other data-link bridges
ONline System Concentrator
You can connect to another concentrator through the AUI port or through
another module that is on the same channel as the Bridge Module. For
example, you can use an ONline Fiber Module on the same channel as the
bridge backplane connection to interconnect 10BASE-FB Stars, ONline
System Concentrators, LAN-TO-LAN Hubs, 10BASE-FB/PC Adapter Cards, or
10BASE-FB Transceivers.
Ethernet Transceivers
You can use the Bridge Module to interconnect Ethermodem Broadband
Ethernet LANs with the ONline System Concentrator. The Bridge Module
front panel AUI port connects to a male AUI port on the Ethermodem
transceiver. It can also be connected to the following transceivers:
– A transceiver multiplexer such as DEC's DELNI™
– A transceiver on a standard Ethernet coaxial cable
– A transceiver on a thin coaxial or twisted pair cable
– An Ethermodem broadband transceiver
Ethernet Repeaters
You can use the Bridge Module to interconnect Ethernet/IEEE 802.3
subnetworks that contain repeaters. The bridge acts as a node on each
subnetwork to which it is attached, and therefore does not affect the
maximum distance or repeater limitations.
