Can I configure a full-duplex link between the hub and another device?

Only to the optional Ethernet Module or Fiber Module. The external ports on the modules are switched ports and are capable of full duplex. The base ports of the hubs aren’t capable of full-duplex operation.

Can I connect a 100BASE-T4 device to the hub?

If the device is capable of 10 or 100 Mbps operation, you can connect it at 10 Mbps. You need to purchase a 100BASE-T4 hub to connect a 100BASE-T4 device at 100 Mbps.

Can I daisy-chain hubs together with TPE cabling?

Only hubs running at 10 Mbps. You must use an Intel Cascade Cable to connect hubs running at 100 Mbps.

If I daisy-chain hubs running at 10 Mbps, can I use one network management module to manage all connected hubs?

No. You can manage only multiple hubs connected with an Intel Cascade Cable.

Can I stack Intel Express 10/100 Stackable Hubs with Intel Express 100BASE-TX Stackable Hubs?

No. The hubs use a different Cascade Cable and connectors. However, both are 100BASE-TX compliant and can easily exist in the same network. To connect the hubs, use an optional Ethernet Module, Intel Express 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch, or Express 10/100 Downlink.
