Dual-Speed Stackable Hubs User’s Guide
Introduction
4
ports. An 16/24/32 port dual-speed stackable Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet Hubs stack operates as a Class II Fast Ethernet re-
peater, allowing it to be linked to another Class II Fast Ethernet
stack in the same collision domain.
In the basic configuration, the 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments are
separate but it can be intercommunicate. Because each unit has
built-in switch, so it can be intercommunicate and stacking up to
four units.
Add-in module is also available, providing 100BASE-FX connec-
tion. The hubs in this series each have one slot for slide-in
module.
