Rear Panel
The unit’s rear panel includes two Ethernet ports and a full-range power socket.
Although 10Mbps and 100Mbps connections are automatically sensed by the
SwitcHub, you must use the Configure button to set the data transfer mode to
full-duplex or half-duplex operation, as described under
Setting the Communication
Mode
in this chapter. The following figure shows the rear panel.

Ethernet Ports
The SwitcHub has 2 Ethernet ports – one is used for 100BASE-TX or
10BASE-T media and the other for 100BASE-FX media.
100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T – The STP RJ-45 port pair provides one MDI-X port
for connecting to a workstation or server and one MDI port for connecting to
another network interconnection device, such as a hub or switch. When using
Fast Ethernet, these ports can also be connected to devices such as a high-speed
server or Ethernet backbone. Use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect
to either the MDI or MDI-X switching port (not both).
100BASE-FX – This port provides Rx/Tx jacks for connecting any compatible
network device using multimode fiber optic cable with SC or ST type connec-
tors. Mate the Rx/Tx jacks with the Tx/Rx jacks on the target device.
