The LinkBuilder MSH
The LinkBuilder MSH is an extremely versatile chassis-based hub,
which enables you to connect and manage large,
mixed-technology, mixed-media LANs.
The basis of the LinkBuilder MSH is the chassis, into which a series
of network specific modules can be installed, a s shown in Figure
1-1. The modules within the chassis connect to a backplane. It is
the backplane which allows communication between the various
LANs and LAN segments connected to the LinkBuilder MSH.
Contact your supplier for the latest list of modules available.
Figure 1-1 The LinkBuilder MSH
The LinkBuilder MSH's backplane contains three Ethernet busses.
Ethernet modules can connect to any bus or be independent of
the chassis; this is the versatility of the LinkBuilder MSH.
