3Com 100 TX - Manual (Page 12)

1-2 C HAPTER 1: I NTRODUCTION
Figure 1-1 Front Panel of LinkBuilder FMS 100-TX Hub
Each port (including the thirteenth port) is supplied with three LEDs that
provide activity, link, and partition status information. Additional LEDs
provide repeater classification, environmental, and port status information.
(Refer to Chapter 3 for the interpretation of LEDs.)
The hub’s rear panel (Figure 1-2) has a slot for a 3Com transceiver interface
module, which (as the thirteenth port) provides media flexibility and
accessibility to the hub. This slot can also be left empty, if desired, with no
connection (no module attached).
Two types of transceiver interface modules are available and must be
purchased separately:
■
100BASE-TX Category 5 UTP module (3C252-TX)
■
100BASE-FX Fiber module (3C262-FX)
Additional modules may be supported in the future.
