RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio
communication. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J
of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will
be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the
interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry
Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les
limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le Règlement
sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par industrie Canada.

LOBE ACCESS UNIT
2.1 Description
The Lobe Access Units are lobe extenders that
quadruple the lobe capacity of the standard Token
Ring MAU. The Lobe Access Unit increases the
flexibility of the Token Ring network by enabling its
topology to be expanded in a more cost-effective way.
It is especially designed to eliminate the need for an
additional MAU in situations where extra lobes are
needed. By using Lobe Access Units to add
workstations to the ring in place of extra lobe
cabling, overall design costs are reduced.
Connect four workstations to a single lobe with the
Lobe Access Unit. Or, an internal switch enables the
Lobe Access Unit to operate as a standalone access
unit. (See Figure 2-1.)
The LT0009A has five ports, each using DB9
connectors. The MAIN port is female, and the four
sub-ports are male. The LT0009A-UTP also has five
ports, but these use RJ-45 connectors. All five ports
are female.
2. Introduction
9
LOBE ACCESS UNIT
To ensure proper operation, you’ll need to use an
initialization tool (our part number LT037) during
the initial setup. This will need to be ordered
separately.
The Lobe Access Unit is small, lightweight, and easy
to install. No strapping adjustments or external
power supply are required.
Figure 2-1. Use as a standalone unit or connect
four workstations to a single lobe.
