16-Port RJ-45 + BNC/AUI Ethernet Hub for QSControl2™ Audio Systems

Introduction

The QSC Audio Model QE 16/0 is a multi-port Ethernet hub that allows flexibility and versatility in audio control LAN topologies. It has 16 RJ-45 ports for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling, as well as a BNC/AUI port for direct connection to network segments using different media. The QE 16/0 hub constantly monitors each port for signal quality and will disconnect (partition) a device producing noise or excessive collisions and will then automatically reconnect it when the offending condition clears.

Hub Features (see diagrams on previous page)

➀	Power LED	Indicates the hub has AC power and is turned on.
➁	Collision LED	Indicates a packet collision.
➂	Link/Activity LED	A steady green light indicates a good cable link between the hub
		and the network device connected to that port;
		A blinking green light indicates network activity.

➃Uplink Switch (Port 16) Slide switch: left = Normal mode; right = Uplink mode

➄	RJ-45 Ports	Configurable as 16 normal UTP ports
		or 15 normal UTP ports plus one UTP uplink port (Port 16).
➅	BNC and AUI Ports	BNC or AUI for connection to a LAN segment using different
		media.
➆	IEC connector	For AC power cord. The internal power supply automatically
		senses 90–250 VAC.

Features:

∙Allows interconnection of Thin (BNC) and UTP segments without other intermediate media conversion devices.

∙Connects up to 16 UTP 10BASET segments and one Thin (BNC) and/or one Thick (AUI) Ethernet segment.

∙Detects network collisions and alerts all participating host devices. Amplifies and re-times received signals and transmits the signals to attached host devices in the event of a collision.

∙Preamble regeneration, signal retiring and restoration, extension of fragmented packets and jabber function for automatic partitioning to isolate network failure.

∙Global power, collision, partition LEDs and individual port Link/RX or Link/Activity LED to aid network diagnosis and management.

∙Performs full 10 Mbps Ethernet multi-port repeater functions and complies with IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASET Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and 10BASE2 Thin Coaxial (BNC) or 10BASE5 Thick Coaxial (AUI).
