Hi,
It is not always that simple.
A nasty little trick that can stop your comms dead on a busy service.
The "ethernet" standards specify the "heartbeat" (SQE) test must be on. Therefore for
an AUI transceiver to comply with the standards it come with the SQE test "ON". This
has the effect of sending a pulse back into the interface. (HeartBeat checking its
collision circuit). The router sees this as a collision and you can be in trouble.
This is particularly bad on most bridges and repeaters. Most transceivers have a
little switch on them. On comms devices turn OFF SQE. Be aware that some older
servers (HP Minis etc) may require SQE to function properly.
I have spent a number of hours on various LAN's discovering this to be a problem. I
can indeed bring an entire network down and has done on many occassions.
Just anothery from the ole uncle Teunis.
