Hub Components
This section provides an overview of the hub's components including the LED
indicators, RJ-45 ports, and fiber ports. Figure 1-2 shows the hub’s front panel.

RJ-45 Ports
The hub’s RJ-45 ports allow connections to UTP cabling to workstations and
servers in a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network. The hub automatically detects
the wire speed and adjusts accordingly. You can force Port 1 to run at 10 Mb/s
by setting the 10 Mb/s ONLY / 10/100 switch on the front panel to 10 ONLY.
You can also use Port 1 as an uplink port by setting the MDI / MDI-X switch to
the MDI position. See “MDI / MDI-X Switch” and “10 Mb/s ONLY / 10/100
Switch” for more information.
Smart Uplink Slot
The Smart Uplink slot houses an optional Smart Uplink Module (SUM), which
serves as a connection point between hubs, hub stacks, and other manufacturers'
100Base-TX, 100Base-TX(SC), 100Base-TX(ST) hubs or stacks. Smart Uplink
modules let you extend your network without the usual repeater hop limitations
inherent with Class I repeaters.
