Design Features
The Fast EtheRx dual-speed hub complies with the full set of repeater basic
functions as defined by IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T,
and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD standards.
Repeater Functions
If any single port senses the start of a valid packet on its receiving line, the
dual-speed hub will re-transmit the received data to all other ports on the
network. The re-transmission of packets complies with the IEEE 802.3
specification in terms of preamble structure, voltage amplitude, and timing
characteristics.
Auto-Negotiation
Auto-Negotiation provides the means of automatically establishing a link by
detecting the link capabilities of the connected device on the network to select
the best operational mode available (i.e. 10/100Mbps selection)
Receive Jabber Protection
The dual-speed hub uses a Receive Jabber Protection scheme to ensure that the
network is not disabled due to reception of excessively long data packets.
Collision-Handling
The dual-speed hub will detect and respond to collision conditions as outlined
in the IEEE 802.3 specifications.
Error-Handling
With 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, the new error-handling feature prevents sub-
standard links from generating streams of false carrier and interfering with
other links.
Automatic Port Partitioning / Reconnection
If any of the ports on the dual-speed hub experience excessive collisions, or
faulty conditions, that particular port can be partitioned. Once partitioned, the
hub will continue to monitor that port. If the error conditions have been
corrected or a good data packet is received or transmitted without a collision,
the hub will automatically reconnect that port to the network.
