Introduction

Product Description

The 16-port AsantéHub 1016-IQ Intelligent Ethernet Hub is a versatile hub

system offering affordable 10BASE-T interconnect for small-sized workgroups

and department networks.

The AsantéHub combines ﬂexibility with a range of features for ease of use. It

uses the defacto Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to allow for

management of the hub by the application-speciﬁc manager as well as by

generic SNMP management stations such as HP OpenView for Sun Sparc or

HP 9000/700 series.

The AsantéHub is a multi-port wiring concentrator for use on the unshielded

twisted pair Ethernet network. Equipped with 16 RJ-45 ports for twisted pair

cabling, it also provides one BNC port for thin cabling, and one AUI port for

thick cabling.

All 16 RJ-45 ports of the hub can be used to connect stations to the network.

However, the sixteenth port can be used, optionally, to connect to another

hub in a daisy chain.

Each port on the hub has its own LED indicator to show the network connec-

tion. Additionally, three other LED indicators signal power, collision and

receiving status.

Without degradation of performance, the hub can faithfully transmit data at a

speed of 10 Mbps. In addition, the hub is able to execute various 10BASE-T

functions including collision detection, link test, relocking, retiming, pream-

ble generation, auto-isolation for faulty ports, and auto-reconnection after the

fault has cleared.

A 50-ohm terminator built into the BNC port of the HUB acts as an Internal

Terminator. The selection between internal termination and external termina-

tion can be made by using a switch beside the BNC port. A pair of rack mount

ears are also provided allowing the hub to be mounted on the 19” rack easily

and economically.
