Hardware Installation

Automatic Partitioning / Reconnection

If any of the ports on the Fast 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 without incurring a collision, the hub will automatically reconnect that port to the network.

Hardware Installation

Before you begin installing network cables, please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the front panel of your Fast EtheRx Hub. The functions on the front and rear panels are illustrated below.

Power LED

The green LED indicates the power status. The LED will light when the AC power cord is connected from a power source to the hub and the power switch is turned on.

Collision LED

The amber LED displays the collision status. If a collision is detected on the network, the amber LED will flash. For the Fast Ethernet CSMA/CD network, collisions can be quite common. A collision occurs when two or more stations try to transmit data simultaneously. Both stations will stop transmitting and then re-transmit after a random period of time.

Fiber Module Detection LED

The Fiber Module Detection LED will light up if the optional 100FX module is installed. This LED will not light up if the optional 100FX module is not installed.
