| 182721 | 2003-10-13 00:41:00 | We have a number of hubs on a TCP/IP server/client network consisting of a combination of Thicknet, Thinnet, Fibre-optic and 10 base T cables. One of the hubs has RJ-45, Co-axial and AUI connectors and it works fine with 10 base T connections. When we connect a Thinnet cable to the co-ax connector, a LED labeled "PARTITION" lights up. Q1: What does "PARTITION" mean in this context? Q2: Would the LED light up to indicate that the co-ax is not terminated correctly, I.E. the 50 ohm connector is absent? |

| 182722 | 2003-10-13 02:07:00 | That BNC connector and the AUI one (only one of which will work at any time) are sort of "backbone" connectors . They correspond to the crossover (really non-crossover) RJ45 used to connect a hub to an upstream hub . The LED probably just shows that the hub is connected to the coax line . You have used a Tee and a terminator if it's needed? If you haven't, the howls from the other users of that coax segment will make an error LED unnecessary . :D |
