2-15
When you configure a network with multiple ANH-8/DC (or other repeater/hub)
systems, you must comply with the following rules:
• Connect no more than four hubs.
• Make sure that each UTP connection is not longer than 100 meters
(109.4 yards).
• If a transceiver is connected to the AUI port, disable the SQE (signal quality
error) test function of the transceiver.

shows three ANH-8/DC systems connected with straight-through
cables.

Figure 2-11 shows an ANH-8/DC linked with two other Ethernet hubs. A UTP
cable connects each MDI port to an MDI-X port on another hub.
