10BASE-T MINIHUB

2. Introduction

2.2 Description

The 10BASE-T MiniHub is an 8-port

10BASE-T workplace hub in a very

compact package. It is powered from

the AUI of an Ethernet device, not

an AC supply, although an optional

one is available. It is simple to install

and use in an office or lab environ-

ment, requiring no special rack

cabinets or wiring-closet apparatus.

The MiniHub is a standard physical-

layer Ethernet product and operates

independently of all software.

The 10BASE-T MiniHub is also

well-suited for small-to-medium sized

office or lab environments (up to 9

persons) that need an independent

Ethernet network. Small indepen-

dent networks built using the Hub

are easily expanded by cascading

hubs of equal or greater capacity.

See Section 3.4 for more about the

Up-Link switched-port feature.

The 10BASE-T MiniHub’s small

size makes it very useful for

demonstration situations in confer-

ence rooms and in exhibitions where

a temporary network or network

expansion is needed. The 10BASE-T

MiniHub takes up minimal space

and requires no AC power, and is

rugged enough to be carried in a

coat pocket.

2.1 Inspecting the Package

and Product

Examine the shipping container for

obvious damage before installing

this product; notify the carrier of any

damage that you believe occurred

during shipment or delivery. Inspect

the contents of this package for any

signs of damage and make sure that

the items listed below are included:

• 10BASE-T MiniHub

• (1) pair of mounting ears

• (1) Velcro®tape section,

approximately 3 inches long

• This User’s Guide

Remove the 10BASE-T MiniHub

from the shipping container. Be sure

to keep the shipping container in

case you need to ship the unit at a

later date.

If any items are missing or

damaged, contact your supplier.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction

The 10BASE-T MiniHub fits easily

into the workplace environment. It

ican be mounted on a tabletop or

shelf, or, with the included Velcro®

strip, on a wall surface, or on the

back or side of a desk or cabinet. All

of the wiring connectors are in the

same place, so that wiring space is

neat and minimal.

The 10BASE-T MiniHub includes

Link and RX LEDs for each RJ-45

port, and one LED for power,

located in the upper right corner.

Since each LED is near the port it

monitors, it is easy to associate the

status LED for each of the ports with

the appropriate port.

10BASE-T MINIHUB

• LEDs simplify network

installation and maintenance—

The 10BASE-T MiniHub is

equipped with a full comple-

ment of LEDs to provide status

about basic network activity.

Eight Link LEDs offer a very

simple way for operational

connections to be verified at the

end of each 10BASE-T segment.

• Low-cost, standalone 10BASE-T

connectivity—Operating in a

standalone environment as a

self-sufficient device, the

10BASE-T MiniHub offers a very

low cost method of providing

small workgroups access to a

variety of Ethernet networking

services such as file sharing,

email, printer sharing, and other

computer information.

The 10BASE-T MiniHub is used as

a standalone unit to network a local

personal multi-user system such as

shown in Figure 2-2.

2.3 Features and Benefits

• Interconnect to an existing

Ethernet network—The 10BASE-

T MiniHub provides an Up-Link

switch for port #8 to be used to

connect it into an existing

Ethernet environment (such as

the central hub for the building

or area) via 10BASE-T wiring.

• Interoperable with other

Ethernet devices—The 10BASE-

T MiniHub is completely

interoperable with other

Ethernet-compliant network

devices. Each is fully compliant

with IEEE 802.3 specifications

for 10 Mbps CSMA/CD oper-

ation. This allows the Hub to be

integrated within any standard

Ethernet network and to operate

with all standard software.

• Installation versatility—The

10BASE-T MiniHub is simple

and easy to install in almost any

office or lab location. The tiny

package is very unobtrusive.

• Robust Network Operations—

The 10BASE-T MiniHub uses the

“star” network topology and has

automatic per-port partitioning

and reconnection. A fault on

one segment is isolated from

the rest of the network, avoiding

most network downtime.

Up to 8 RJ-45 user ports are

available where only 10BASE-T

wiring is used, and full-length

Ethernet segments are supported

on all 8 segments. In this

application, the “Up-Link” switch is

in the straight-through or = position,

so that port #8 on the front of the

unit is a user port (not an up-link to

another hub).
