2.3 Features and Benefits
Interconnect to an Existing Ethernet Network
Personal Hubs provide a manual Up-Link switch that
allows one RJ-45 port to be to connect into an existing
Ethernet environment (such as the central hub for the
building or area) via 10BASE-T wiring.
Inter-operable with other Ethernet Devices
Personal Hubs are completely inter-operable with other
Ethernet-compliant network devices. Each is fully
compliant with IEEE 802.3 specifications for 10 Mbps
CSMA/CD operation. This allows Personal Hubs to be
integrated within any standard Ethernet network and to
operate with standard software.
Installation Versatility
Personal Hubs are simple and easy to install in most any
office or lab location. The tiny package is very
unobtrusive and is typically mounted with Velcro.
Robust Network Operations
Personal Hubs use the "star" network topology and have
automatic per-port partitioning and re-connection. A fault
on one segment is isolated from the rest of the network,
avoiding most network downtime.
LEDs Simplify Network Installation and Maintenance
Personal Hubs are equipped with a full complement of
LEDs to provide status about basic network activity.
LINK LEDs for each port offer a simple way for
operational connections of each 10BASE-T segment to be
verified.
Low cost, stand-alone 10BASE-T connectivity
Operating in a stand-alone environment as a self-sufficient
device, Personal Hubs offer a very low cost method of
providing small workgroups access to a variety of Ethernet
networking services such as file sharing, E-Mail, printer
sharing, and other computer information.
High Quality
Personal Hubs have a rugged steel case and are compliant
with rigid Class CE emission standards, making them
suitable for commercial and home offices.
