Network Topologies

The AT-MC13 media converter can be used in two different topologies:
Standalone and Back-to-Back. Both types of topologies are described
below.

Standalone Topology

A standalone topology uses one media converter between the end-
nodes. Figure 7 illustrates a standalone topology that uses an AT-MC13
media converter to connect a workstation and a switch with 10Base-FL
uplink port.
