5.1 Integrating various network topologies

HiPath HG 1500 is equipped with a 10/100 MB Autosense twisted-pair port.

5.1.1 Star topology with hub (10/100 BaseT)

In this network topology, a hub or switch is used as a central element. Each data
terminal is connected to this via a separate twisted-pair cable (e.g. 10/100 BaseT-
Ethernet). A standard hub emulates a bus internally. If a cable malfunctions, only one
terminal is affected. The integrated HiPath HG 1500 can be connected directly.
For more information on connector assignment, see Table 2-3 and Table 2-7

Max. total length from HUB/switch to PC = 100 m, incl. PATCH cable.

5.1.2 Bus topology (10 Base2)

The traditional, but now redundant, cabling method for Ethernet LANs. Coaxial cable
is used to connect each data terminal via a T distributor to the main line. In a bus
environment, the data terminals are connected only via the cable - no additional
