Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
The SuperSmart (EtherHub-16se) hub is a powerful and
innovative LAN network enhancement product. This hub
supports a multi-segment bus architecture that enhances traffic
flow and network bandwidth utilization. It offers the network
manager a wide range of flexible configuration options,
allowing you to effectively increase your network’s bandwidth.
The SuperSmart hub can be used in a stand-alone configuration
to form a simple LAN networking 2 to 16 computers using the
RJ-45 ports. Further network expansion can be achieved using
the trunk port connection (optional ALT PORT for BNC, AUI or
fiber-optic interface), or the RJ-45 daisy-chain port. Workstations
are connected to the SuperSmart station ports using twisted-pair
cable.

•
16 RJ-45 station ports for networking computers to the network
