Network Topologies
The AT-MC1x Series Media Converters 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
5 illustrates a standalone topology that uses an AT-MC13 media converter to
connect two switches.
