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.
