♦
Full hub stack and network management provided via an SNMP man-
agement agent (DFE-2616i, DFE-2616ix, DFE-2624i, DFE-2624ix).
♦
An optional slide-in switch module allows bridging between 10Mbps
and 100Mbps segments. Only one switch module is needed per stack,
but managed hub stacks can make use of additional switch modules
for redundancy.
♦
LED indicators for power, collisions, link, network activity, parti-
tioning status, disable, operating speed (10 or 100Mbps) and network
utilization.
♦
Digital hub ID number front panel display.
♦
Auto-partition protection.
♦
Data collision detection and handling.
♦
Preamble regeneration, signal retiming.
♦
Two proprietary daisy-chain ports for cascading up to five hubs to
form one logical hub; management provided via a master hub.
♦
Standby backup master capability when two master model hubs are
present within a single stack.
♦
Uplink port allows easy linking of two Fast Ethernet or four Ethernet
hub stacks to further expand your network.
♦
Standard-size (19”, 1.25U height), rack mountable
♦
Built-in, removable power supply, replaceable without opening the
hub. Power supply is easily removed and replaced. Automatic volt-
age selection (100V to 240V, 50 or 60Hz) without fuses to change or
a voltage switch to set.
♦
Optional slide-in modules: Switch, 100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-FX
(see Chapter 4 : Making Connections).
