Asante Technologies FriendlyNet user manual Features, Package Contents

Introduction

The FriendlyNet Hub constantly monitors its ports for signal qual- ity and automatically partitions a port producing noise or exces- sive collisions; the device automatically reconnects when the error condition is cleared.

The FriendlyNet Hub automatically truncates data packets that exceed the maximum length for IEEE 802.3, preventing a device from blocking the network by transmitting continuous data streams or extra long packets.
