A. Connecting to a Workstation Usually 10Mbps or 100Mbps workstations are connected to Port 2-8, while other hubs or switches are connected to Port 1 for up linking. If you connect the workstation to Port 1, remember to set it as the Normal Position. Set to “Normal” Figure 6. Connecting to a Workstation B. Connecting to a Hub/Switch Either the connected hub/switch or the 10/100 Hub should be set ta the UP LINK position, e.g.
Application Scenarios This section gives some examples of huw to place the 10/100 auto sensing hubs so as to achieve the maximum utilization from your networking hardware and for your future growth. Scenario I. Connect Cablecast Modem to your LAN ~~ (Local Area Network) Method 1. Directly connect the Cablecast Coder to the up link por (set to the Up link position) of hub by Cat. 3 or Cat.
Figure 9. Connect Cablecast Modem to one of the PCs on the network Scenario ll. Expansion of the existing 10Mbps Ethernet Network Any existing 10Mbps Ethernet devices, no matter hubs or adapters, can cooperate with this 10/100 intransigent Fast Ethernet hub. Such flexibility lets you optimize your investment to mix and match everyone's needs. 10Mbps Hub Up link NDH 305 10Mbps 100Mbps Figure 10. Connect any of your existing 10Mbps equipment to the 10/100 hub Scenario Ill.
