Intel PCLA2152B manual Mbps-only environment, Bridging with the Express 10/100 Downlink

Here, the 2-port 10/100 Downlink bridges the two 100 Mbps hubs to the two 10 Mbps hubs.

The benefits of using the Downlink are its low cost and simplicity. Just plug the hubs into the Downlink; it takes care of the rest.

Bridging with the Express 10/100 Downlink

The Express 10/100 Downlink has two ports that operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps. Each port automatically senses the speed of the attached device. All you need to do is set the speed of the hubs. No configuration of your network operating system is needed.

100 Mbps-only environment

In the 100-Mbps only environment, you can only connect hubs using an Intel Cascade Cable. You must also use CAT 5 TPE cabling to connect devices (switches, workstations, servers, and so on). The distance between a port and an attached device can’t exceed

100 meters.

If you intend to install an optional Management Module in a 12-port hub, place the hub at eye level. This makes it easier to read the module’s LCD panel.
