Topology
Standalone Topology
Figure 12 shows a standalone topology. Four workstations are
connected directly to the repeater through the repeater’s RJ45 ports.

Cascade Topology
A shared Ethernet network can be expanded by interconnecting
repeaters (cascading) through the UTP ports. Figure 13 shows a
cascaded topology using four repeaters which is the maximum number
of micro repeaters and nodes in a single segment: four micro repeaters
with ten (AT-MR420TR)/twenty-six (AT-MR820TR) ports. Its design
complies with the four-repeater rule. Additional UTP ports are
available if the AUI port is used for cascading.
