Connecting to Non- 100BASE-T4 devices
Connecting to 100BASE-TX devices
You have two options for connecting the Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hub to a 100BASE-TX device:
•an Intel 100BASE-TX Uplink Module
•a routing server equipped with a 100BASE-T4 NIC and a 100BASE-TX NIC
You can also use Intel cascade cables to combine Express 100BASE-TX Stackable Hubs with Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable hubs in a stack. If you’re using a combined stack, make sure you attach the appropriate device (TX or T4) to each type of hub. If you attach the wrong type of device to a hub, that device won’t function properly, and the hub may malfunction.
100BASE-TX Uplink Module
Intel’s 100BASE-TX Uplink Module fits in the hub’s media adapter slot and allows you to connect to 100BASE-TX devices using Category 5 UTP cabling.
For more information on the 100BASE-TX Uplink Module, see Appendix B.
