Are you planning to put TR's on each floor? If so, you may want to consider
putting a backbone ring vertically with access centers for separate rings
on each floor (perhaps one ring could span a couple of floors). There are
many considerations in designing this set up such as wiring type, ring speed,
number of stations etc. We do have some TR products available(including those
that have fiber ring ports ant twisted pair station ports on the same board)
and would be happy to assist you. Please feel free to contact us at our
toll free number 1-800-LAN-TEST.
