Automatic Partitioning/Reconnection

If any of the ports on the EtheRx hub experience excessive numbers of consecutive collisions, duration collisions, or faulty conditions, that particular port can be partitioned. Once partitioned, the hub will continue to monitor that port. If the error conditions have been corrected or a good data packet is transmitted or received without incurring a collision, the hub will automatically reconnect that port to the network.

Link Test

For UTP port connections, the EtheRx hub implements the link integrity test function as specified in the IEEE 802.3i 10BASE-T standard. The hub will transmit link test pulses to any UTP port after that port’s transmitter is inactive for a range of 8ms to 17ms. These pulses are sent to confirm that a valid connection exists between each UTP port on the hub and its attached device.
