4	Connect the remaining backbone cable to another MAU,
4	also with an AUI connector on the other end.
	Alternatively, you can prepare the cable with a male BNC
	connector.
5	Connect the second MAU to the AsantéBridge hub port,
5	which is actually the hub 3in1 port. See Figure 1-10 on
	page 1-19 for the location.
6	Power up the AsantéBridge.
6	The unit automatically begins bridging between the two
	segments, building a dynamic forwarding address table as
	each device on both segments transmits.You do not need
	to conﬁgure, program, or modify the AsantéBridge in any
	way.All operation is completely automatic.

About Spanning Trees

Although this simple installation procedure does not describe a spanning tree conﬁguration, there is no difference. If you install the AsantéBridge in parallel with another bridge implementing the IEEE 802.1d spanning tree algorithm, it will automatically begin to participate in the spanning tree algorithm.You do not need to take any special steps to prepare or conﬁgure the bridge.
