2.3 Features and Benefits
ν Expandable Design
When network needs grow, several Stackable Personal Hubs can be easily
stacked to form a single logical repeater of up to forty RJ-45 ports.
ν
Low cost, stand-alone 10BASE-T connectivity
Operating in a stand-alone environment as self-sufficient devices,
Stackable Personal Hubs offer a very low cost method of providing small
workgroups access to a variety of Ethernet networking services such as file
sharing, E-Mail, printer sharing, and other computer information.
ν Interconnect to an Existing Ethernet Network
Stackable Personal Hubs provide a manual Up-Link switch that allows one
RJ-45 port to connect into an existing Ethernet environment (such as the
central hub for the building or area) via 10BASE-T wiring.
ν Inter-operable with other Ethernet Devices
Stackable Personal Hubs are completely inter-operable with other Ethernet-
compliant network devices. Each is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3
specifications for 10 Mbps CSMA/CD operation, and can be integrated within
any standard Ethernet network and operate with standard software.
ν Installation
Versatility
Stackable Personal Hubs are easy to install in most any office or lab location.
The tiny package is very unobtrusive and may even be Velcro mounted.
ν LEDs Simplify Network Installation and Maintenance
Stackable Personal Hubs are equipped with a full complement of LEDs to
provide status about basic network activity. LINK LEDs for each port offer a
simple way to verify operational connections of each 10BASE-T segment.
ν High Quality
Stackable Personal Hubs have a rugged steel case and are compliant with rigid
CE emission standards, making them suitable for commercial and home
offices. Per-port partitioning and re-connection avoids most downtime.
