C H A P T E R 3 Intel Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hub
NOTE
Port 1 on a hub is disabled when an uplink module is installed.
100BASE-TX Uplink Module and 10/100 Downlink
Intel’s 100BASE-TX Uplink Module fits in the hub’s media adapter slot and allows you to connect to 100BASE-TX devices, such as the Express 10/100 Downlink. The Express 10/100 Downlink allows you to connect to 10BASE-T devices.
100BASE-TX Uplink Module and 10/100 switching hub
You can also use the 100BASE-TX Uplink Module to connect to a 10/100 switching hub. The switching hub then bridges the 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments
Routing server
If you’re using a NOS that supports multi-protocol routing, such as Novell NetWare or Windows NT, you can use a routing server equipped with a 100BASE-T4 NIC and a 10BASE-T NIC to bridge the 100BASE-T4 and 10BASE-T segments.
