Configuring the Network

Figure 3-3 Cabling Limits for Multiple Hub Configuration

Notes:

1. The maximum length for each cable must be determined by calculations for the

longest path (i.e., node-to-node connection) that passes through that segment.

2. To control the number of hubs in a path, we recommend that one hub be used to

connect to several other hubs. Make sure there is only one path between any two
stations on the network.

3. If you need to connect network devices over a long distance, use a switching hub

or router to split the network up into two or more collision domains. For detailed
information on purchasing the required equipment, contact your local distributor or
Accton representative for support.
