Dual-Speed Hub
The Dual-Speed Hub has built-in bridge module, thereby providing
100Mbps and 10Mbps users transparent access to the same network, even
though the 100Mbps and 10Mbps segments are separated.
n
Expansion bridge port function
The Dual-Speed Hub with the internal switching function can be
Auto-configured either Master mode or Slave mode. The master mode
occurs when a stack in port isnt connected on the rear panel. The slave
mode occurs when a stack in port is connected on the rear panel.
Therefore, the Dual-Speed Hub changes to either Master mode with one
expansion bridge port ( # 1 port ) or slave mode with two expansion bridge
ports ( # 1, 9 ports for 16 Port Dual-Speed Hub ; # 1, 13 ports for 24 Port
Dual-Speed Hub ) automatically depends on stack configuration.
n
Optional Fiber Optic Module
The Dual-Speed Hub includes a module slot which can be
configured with fiber module to expand the network size and to connect
within a fiber cabled environment. With this optional fiber optic module
installed, data transmissions are not affected by electrical interference and
the distance of the link can be 208 meters to another hub or 412 meters
(2000 meters in FDX mode) to a switching hub.
