Netelligent Dual-Speed 1000 10 or 100 Mb/s Unmanaged Repeaters
Key Concept: 10/100 Mb/s workgroup migration
The Netelligent 1224 is the industry’s first dual-speed, autosensing repeater. It is designed to
facilitate the migration from 10 Mb/s Ethernet to Fast Ethernet without requiring an expensive
10/100 switch or bridge. This product is ideal for workgroup networks in transition. The repeater
can be permanently installed and wired to network outlets. As you migrate to 100 Mb/s Fast
Ethernet or move between offices, no change at the repeater is required. Each port automatically
detects the speed of the device connected to it and adjusts its data rate accordingly. In a simple
application where the server supports a 10 Mb/s NIC and a 100 Mb/s NIC, maximum throughput
to the server is maintained on each network segment.
The Netelligent 1224 repeater is actually
two repeaters in one enclosure. Each port
on the hub connects to an internal 10 Mb/s
repeater and a 100 Mb/s repeater. Only one
repeater per port is active. The 1224
repeater is a Class II Fast Ethernet repeater,
which allows the connection of up to two
repeaters, creating a 46-user workgroup.
Dual redundant, hot-swappable power
supplies can be included to maximize fault
tolerance for high port density workgroups.
