This chapter introduces your hub and gives some
background information about the technology of the hub
uses.
Product Description
DHD-801/1601 is designed to allow easy integration and
migration between 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet.
The hub can operate with both IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T
connections and IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX connections.
All of the twisted-pair ports support NWay auto-
negotiation, allowing the hub to automatically detect the
speed of a network connection. This means you can connect
all of your Ethernet and Fast Ethernet hosts to your hub
without any rewiring required when a host is upgraded
from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
This Hub with built-in switch function allows
communication between network end nodes operating at
different speeds.
Because it conforms to the standards for both Ethernet and
Fast Ethernet Class II repeaters, your hub can also be
“Uplinked” together with a similarly conformant hub to
