Feature Summaries

The following summaries describe ELH100-12/24TX features in areas
such as standards compliance, functionality, performance, and options.

Dual-Speed Architecture

The ELH100-12/24TX hub provides both 10 and 100 Mbps repeater
buses. The speed of the device connected to each port is automatically
detected by the hub, and the port attached to the appropriate bus. Up to
6 hubs can be stacked together to form a dual-speed network. An optional
switch/media module can be added to any hub in the stack to bridge traffic
between the 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps repeater buses as required.

Software Download

The ELH100-12/24TX hubs support the industry-standard Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP) for downloading agent software. All hub
software is stored in a 2 MB flash ROM. The download feature allows you
to easily install software upgrades to the Agent Module. Software can
alternatively be downloaded via the serial console port using the
XMODEM protocol. You can download to permanent flash ROM, or you
can download to temporary storage in RAM for test purposes.
