Network Connectors and Rear Switch

The hub provides 8 dual-speed TP ports. Each can support one con-
nection to either a 10BASE-T Ethernet device or a 100BASE-TX Fast
Ethernet device using 2-pair UTP cable. One configuration switch is
located on the rear panel. The switch is used for setting the operation
mode for the hub. Three selections are available as follows:

AUTO mode

Set all TP ports to be auto-sensing ports

100M mode

Set all TP ports to be 100BASE-TX ports

10M mode

Set all TP ports to be 10BASE-T ports

For AUTO mode, each TP port can support either the Ethernet
10Mbps connection or a Fast Ethernet 100Mbps connection with
auto-sensing the connection speed. For 100M mode, the TP port
supports connection to a 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet device only.
For 10M mode, the TP port supports connection to a 10BASE-T
Ethernet device only.
