The NetStacker II Hubs
Thank you for purchasing an Asanté NetStacker II 12 port or 24 port hub. The
NetStacker II products are unmanaged dual speed stackable hubs which provide
a compact, flexible solution for medium to large workgroups and small office
LANS. These 12-port and 24-port hubs comply fully with IEEE802.3 and
IEEE802.3u standards.
Both the 12-port and 24-port hubs can be upgraded easily to managed hubs by
addition of an optional plug-in management module. This module slides into a
slot on the back panel of the hub. You do not need to purchase another hub to
gain full management capabilities - you can convert your unmanaged hub in a
matter of minutes.
