SEHI OVERVIEW

SEHI USER’S GUIDE 1-3

1.3 SEHI OVERVIEW

The 10BASE-T SEHI-22 and SEHI-24 are intelligent repeater hubs. The

SEHI-22 has 12 RJ45 ports and one Ethernet Port Interface Module

(EPIM) port on the front panel for network connections while the

SEHI-24 has 24 RJ45 ports and two EPIM ports on the front panel for

network connections. Both models have one rear panel HubSTACK

Interconnect Bus port for stackable connections. The SEHI is designed to

manage the Cabletron SEH series of non-intelligent stackable hubs.

1.4 SEHI FEATURES

Repeater Functionality

The SEHI fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3 Repeater, AUI, and

10BASE-T speciﬁcations, and provides the ﬂexibility to connect

networks using IEEE 802.3, Ethernet Version 1 or Version 2 equipment.

The SEHI transmits retimed data packets, regenerates the preamble,

extends fragments, and arbitrates collisions.

The SEHI automatically partitions problem segments, and reconnects

repaired segments to the network. This feature minimizes the impact on

network operation resulting from a problem on one segment by isolating

the problem segment. Only devices on the problem segment are affected.

When the problem is solved, the SEHI automatically reconnects the

isolated segment to the network.

Polarity Detection and Correction

Each twisted pair port on the SEHI incorporates a Polarity Detection and

Correction feature that allows the SEHI to pass data regardless of the

polarity of the twisted pair segment’s receive link. Cabletron does not

recommend operating in this condition. When this condition is detected,

remove the segment from the network and wire it correctly to reduce the

potential for problems if equipment changes are made.

Flash EEPROMs

The SEHI uses Flash EEPROMs that allow the downloading of new and

updated ﬁrmware in conjunction with Cabletron’s Remote LANVIEW/

Windows, version 2.3 or later or any device utilizing BOOTP or TFTP

protocols.
