1 Introduction

This chapter describes the principle features of the ONline 10BASE-T Security Module.

The ONline 10BASE-T Security Module

The ONline 10BASE-T Security Module is a 12-port IEEE 802.3 repeater module that complies with the 10BASE-T standard. The module is designed for use with the 3Com ONline System Concentrators using unshielded twisted pair wiring. The Security Module provides the following features and benefits:

Provides jamming security for 12 10BASE-T ports

Provides security from unauthorized transmissions

Uses the 3Com ONguard™ technology to secure the network from eavesdropping and intrusions

Supports up to 150 meter link distances on 22 gauge wire and up to 125 meters on 24 gauge wire (the meter distance on 26 gauge wire varies by cable type)

Complies fully with the 10BASE-T signaling standard
