Topology
The topology shown in Figure 14 is commonly referred to as a power
workgroup topology. Each workstation or end-node is connected
directly to a port on an AT-8024 Fast Ethernet Switch. Each end-node has
a dedicated data link to the switch for best performance and reliability.
The devices can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
