1298.0. "six AUI ports on a DECbridge 900" by CTOAVX::BEAULIEU () Tue Mar 29 1994 14:51

    Hi,
    
    If I have one of the new DECbridge 900 units (standalone configuration
    ie DEC onehub) and I wanted to provide as many AUI connections as possible
    I could use the two AUI ports off the front of the unit, switch one of
    the UTP ports to the ONEhub AUI connector, that would give me three AUI
    ports native to this configuration. Now I need more AUI connections and
    all I have left is the UTP ports, Is there a UTP to AUI (AUI has to be
    female) MAU?  I need to have 6 AUI ports.......
    
    Thanks in advance

You'd need repeaters for the other 3 ports.  If you need 6 AUI ports, it may
be easier just to use two bridges... 

FWIW, the reason why there are two AUIs on the front is that we had a product
requirement to be able to replace the DECbridge 620.  The two in the front
plus the one on the Onehub equals what the 620 has.

Why not use DETTR-BB/BA ? its a 10BaseT <-> AUI repeater.
