Chapter 2: Hardware Description
Accton’s SwitcHub-2s is a highly reliable network switch that complies with
IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX) specifications.
This switching hub delivers superior performance compared to the bridge and
router solution, and at a much lower cost. By confining local traffic to the
originating segment, and only forwarding cross-segment traffic to the other
port, this hub meets the requirements for Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 networks.
This chapter describes the hardware features of Accton’s SwitcHub-2s. For
easier management and control of the hub, familiarize yourself with the display
indicators, ports and configure button. Front and rear panel illustrations in this
chapter display the unit’s LED indicators, configure button and ports. Before
connecting any network device to the hub, read this chapter carefully.
Front Panel
The unit’s front panel provides a simple interface for configuring or monitoring
the switching hub. It includes a configure button, power indicator, display
mode indicators, port status indicators, and a statistical display for network
traffic as shown below.
