Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR

™

Model FE116 Fast

Ethernet Hub. This hub delivers standards-based, plug-and-play networking

solutions for small businesses, home ofﬁces, and low-density workgroups of

larger companies.

The Model FE116 hub has the following features:

• Sixteen IEEE 802.3-compliant 100BASE-T ports (sometimes referred to as

RJ-45 or network ports) that provide effective information exchange,

resource sharing, and a client/server or peer-to-peer applications solution

with simple unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring (The network ports on the

Model FE116 hub are referred to as vista RJ-45 network ports because they

have built-in LEDs that monitor individual port status.)

• Class II compliance, which enables network expansion by connecting two

hubs together

• Easy plug-and-play installation with no software to conﬁgure, thus saving

time and minimizing the potential for conﬁguration errors

• Normal/Uplink push button to simplify network extension and for

connecting with other hubs (In the Uplink mode, two hubs can be daisy-

chained using simple, straight-through UTP cables.)

• Automatic partitioning and reconnection of a port that has excessive

collisions or is jabbering

• Limited ﬁve-year warranty on the unit and one-year warranty on the power

supply
