CHAPTER 2: Introduction
The Personal MiniHub’s small
size makes it very useful for demon-
stration situations in conference
rooms and in exhibitions where
a temporary network or network
expansion is needed. The Personal
MiniHub takes up minimal space
and uses minimal power, and is
rugged enough to be carried in a
coat pocket.
The Personal MiniHub fits easily
into the workplace environment. It
ican be mounted on a tabletop or
shelf, or, with the included Velcro
®
strip, on a wall surface, or on the
back or side of a desk or cabinet. All
of the wiring connectors are in the
same place, so that wiring space is
neat and minimal. The external
power supply conveniently plugs
into an available AC wall receptacle
or power strip.
