About this Guide

0 ABOUT THIS GUIDE

This guide discusses how to install and use your Ethernet/Fast

Ethernet dual-speed stackable hub.

Conventions

As used in this guide, the term hub, unless otherwise noted, refers

to the eight- or sixteen-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet dual-speed

stackable hub with which this guide was packaged, or to another

hub in the same product family.

Overview of the User’s Guide

Introduction 1

1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter introduces your hub and gives some background

information about the technology the hub uses.

Product Description

Your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet dual-speed stackable hub is designed

to allow easy integration and migration between 10-Mbps

Ethernet and 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet.

The hub can operate with both IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T connections

(twisted-pair Ethernet operating at 10 megabits per second) and

IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX connections (twisted-pair Fast

Ethernet operating at 100 megabits per second). All of the twisted-

pair ports support NWay auto-negotiation, allowing the hub to

automatically detect the speed of a network connection. This

means you can connect all of your Ethernet and Fast Ethernet

hosts to your hub (or to a stack of hubs in the same product

family) without any rewiring required when a host is upgraded

from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.

Hubs in this family can be purchased with or without a built-in

switching circuit to allow communication between network end

nodes operating at different speeds. If your hub has a SW Enable

indicator on its front panel, it has such a switching circuit. On a

Introduction

hub that does not have such a switching circuit, only end nodes

operating at the same speed (10 or 100 Mbps) can communicate

with each other (unless the hub is stacked with a hub that does

have such a switching circuit—see below).

Your hub has eight or sixteen twisted-pair ports and can be

stacked together with other hubs in the same product family to a

maximum of five hubs in a stack. A stack of five sixteen-port hubs

gives a total of eighty Ethernet or Fast Ethernet ports. (Stacking

is also referred to as daisy-chaining).

As long as a stack contains at least one hub with a built-in

switching circuit, 10-Mbps Ethernet nodes will be able to

communicate with 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet nodes and vice versa,

regardless of which hub in the stack any node is attached to. Note

that if two or more hubs in a stack have switching circuits built in,

only one hub’s switching circuit will be enabled; any other

switching circuits in the stack will automatically be disabled, and

only one hub’s SW Enable indicator will shine. This is to allow

intercommunication without the danger of a signal loop forming.

Because it conforms to the standards for both Ethernet and Class

II Fast Ethernet repeaters, your hub (or a stack of hubs in the

same product family) can also be “uplinked” together with a

similarly conformant hub or hub stack to expand the network still

further. The uplink connection will carry both 10- and 100-Mbps

network signals.

Product Features

The list below highlights your hub’s features and specifications:

♦ Compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet and

802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet industry standards for
