Stackable Personal Hubs Installation and User Guide (04/01)

2.3Features and Benefits

νExpandable Design

When network needs grow, several Stackable Personal Hubs can be easily stacked to form a single logical repeater of up to forty RJ-45 ports.

νLow cost, stand-alone 10BASE-T connectivity

Operating in a stand-alone environment as self-sufficient devices, Stackable Personal Hubs offer a very low cost method of providing small workgroups access to a variety of Ethernet networking services such as file sharing, E-Mail, printer sharing, and other computer information.

νInterconnect to an Existing Ethernet Network

Stackable Personal Hubs provide a manual Up-Link switch that allows one RJ-45 port to connect into an existing Ethernet environment (such as the central hub for the building or area) via 10BASE-T wiring.

νInter-operable with other Ethernet Devices

Stackable Personal Hubs are completely inter-operable with other Ethernet- compliant network devices. Each is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 specifications for 10 Mbps CSMA/CD operation, and can be integrated within any standard Ethernet network and operate with standard software.

νInstallation Versatility

Stackable Personal Hubs are easy to install in most any office or lab location. The tiny package is very unobtrusive and may even be Velcro mounted.

νLEDs Simplify Network Installation and Maintenance

Stackable Personal Hubs are equipped with a full complement of LEDs to provide status about basic network activity. LINK LEDs for each port offer a simple way to verify operational connections of each 10BASE-T segment.

νHigh Quality

Stackable Personal Hubs have a rugged steel case and are compliant with rigid CE emission standards, making them suitable for commercial and home offices. Per-port partitioning and re-connection avoids most downtime.
