Chapter 1 — Quick Start

If the LINK/RECEIVE LED does not come on, use a narrow
tool to reset the hub. (The Reset button is on the front
panel.) The AsantéBridge reruns all diagnostics, and you
should see the self-test LED display described in the previ-
ous step.
If the test continues to fail, you may have a problem with
the device connected to the AsantéBridge, the cabling
between the unit and the device, or possibly with the
AsantéBridge itself.
Connecting Two Segments to the AsantéBridge
The AsantéBridge 1012 has two ports: an external port and the
hub port. As described earlier, the hub portion of the device is
actually the hub port. In this procedure, you connect one seg-
ment to the external port, and the other segment to the hub port.
❖
Important:
Separating your network into two separate
segments causes an interruption in network service. Do
not do this without notifying your network administra-
tor and warning network users that the network is going
down for a few minutes. We recommend that you sched-
ule this activity for a time when network activity is at a
low level.
❖
Dividing the Network into Segments
As described earlier in this chapter (see page 1-13), you should
have already chosen the point in your backbone where you want
to separate the network into segments.
1
If you have not already done so, open the backbone at the
point where you want to bridge and prepare the Ethernet
cabling with male BNC connectors on each end.
2
Connect one cable to a MAU with an AUI connector on the
other end.
