Figure 11 illustrates a network of three AT-8524M Fast Ethernet switches.
The workstations and servers on the network are connected either directly
to a switch or indirectly through an Ethernet hub. The switches themselves
are connected together through 1000Base fiber optic ports on AT-A45/SC
expansion modules, creating a high-speed backbone.
