SwitcHub-7s User’s Guide
iv Quick Installation
For integrating legacy networks, Port 7 provides for connection via either
100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T. It uses auto-sensing to dynamically set the
required transmission speed at 10 or 100 Mbps.
5. The SwitcHub-7s can serve as a collapsed backbone, or can be connected to
any other network interconnection device via one of the 10 Mbps ports or the
100 Mbps port. (Refer to Chapter 3 for sample applications.)
6. Set the transmission mode for each port to full duplex or half duplex using
the Configure button. (Refer to
Full/Half Duplex Mode Selection in Chapter 2.)
Full-duplex communications can only be supported for a dedicated link (i.e.,
set communications to half duplex if you are connecting to a shared collision
domain). Remember that the selected mode must correspond to that
supported by the connected device.
7. Verify network communications by ensuring that -
• you have made all the necessary connections
• you can access any connected resources
• the hub’s indicator LEDs are functioning properly
Note: For devices connected to Port 7, the system will automatically detect
transmission speed (10/100 Mbps). However, note that unless connected
devices are operating at half duplex (i.e., system default), you will have to
manually set the transmission mode via the Configure button. (Refer to Full/Half
Duplex Mode Selection in Chapter 2).
If you encounter any problems in installing the SwitcHub-7s, refer to Chapter 2
for a detailed description of installation procedures, or to Appendix A for help
in troubleshooting.
