Appendix A — Support for Pre 10BaseT Devices

	This appendix provides guidelines for integrating non-10BaseT
	compatible devices for your Asanté 10BaseT Local Area Network.
	For a device that has an Ethernet card with an AUI port, simply
	obtain a TP-MAU (Media Attachment Unit) such as the Asanté 10T
	MAU.A TP-MAU is an external device which allows you to connect
	a 10BaseT RJ-45 connector to your AUI (DB-15) port.
	For a device with an adapter card that supports an earlier version
	of 10BaseT, you should disable the Link Integrity test for the port
	connected to that device. First, check with the vendor to make
	sure disabling the Link Integrity makes the card compatible with
	the AsantéHub 1012.Then do the following steps:
1	Determine which port number the workstation is wired to
	on the AsantéHub.
2	From the AsantéView Port Control window, disable link
	integrity testing on that port. (For this procedure, see the

AsantéView manual for your version of AsantéView.)

You should know the following:

❏AsantéView does not gather statistics from ports with Link Integrity disabled.

❏The Link/Receive LED for the disabled port(s) is always on (green).

❖Note: Link Integrity can be disabled for the uplink in hardware; see Chapter 1,“Quick Start.” ❖
