- The reason for this comes from the method of attachment of devices to
- 10Base2 coax. Instead of having a tap for the transceiver, the re is an
- actual T-junction. Now, for those of you who have done transmission line
- theory, a T-junction is actually a stub. Now, when a stub reaches 1/4 of
- the wavelength of the signal in length (I think it's a quarter), then the
- reflections back from the end of the stub cancel the signal, which is not
- what you want. From memory, the wavelength in 10base2 is about 8m, which
- means that a 2m stub will be approximately tuned to flatten your network.
-
- Now, These T-junctions are stubs of effective length about 2-3 cm, and I
- am told that if you put a lot of small stubs on a transmission line, they
- act something like one large stub the sum of the lengths of the short
- stubs. That is, 30 hosts on a 10BASE2 segment is equivalent to a stub of
- about 70cm. I suppose the folks on the IEE802.3 committee decided that
- 70cm was the maximum stub length that could be tolerated before the
- reflections started causing too much distortion to the signal.

- Subject: X.25 MULTIPLIXING
-
- Hello,
- My problem is that we have IBM x400 machine which connected to X.25 network,
- and we are decided to install a 10Base-T network consisting of 3 PCs and One
- File Server which is a 486 machine with Eicon HSI X.25 adapter .
- My question is there any way to use the same X.25 line which connected to the
- IBM X400 machine to use it on the 486 File Server to connect it to the Eicon
- HSI X.25 adapter.
- The 486 File Server will be runing SCO UNIX operating system & HP Open mail.
- and each PC will use SMC 10Base-T Ethernet card.
- Any suggestions will be apprechiated....
- Thanks.

-
- Hello,
- I need to know if I can used the same X.25 line to connect both AS400 machine
- and X.25 gateway on SCO UNIX Server connected to 10Base-T Ethernet network.
- Note:
- The AS400 machine is not connected to the Ethernet network.
- Any suggestions in spliting X.25 line is apprechiated.
- Thanks....
