Connecting Network Devices
The Auto-sensing capability allows Asanté Hubs to connect to 10Mbps and/or
100Mbps devices in your network. This section describes setting up network
configurations using a variety of devices.
10Mbps/100Mbps Speed Sources
By default, each port is set to Auto-sensing mode. The Asanté Hubs will detect
the correct 10Mbps/100Mbps speed to transmit information to connected
10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices.
The FH208 and the FH216 need two different speed sources to transmit
10Mbps or 100Mbps within two different domains. Therefore, two ports
connected to 10Mbps and 100Mbps are required.
Caution! 10Mbps and 100Mbps information cannot be
transmitted between 10Mbps and 100Mbps domains.
If you want to transmit information between 10Mbps and 100Mbps domains,
a switching hub or a hub with an internal switch module such as the FH208B
