You can upgrade any of your legacy IOBase-T equipment on an as needed basis and optimize your investment. Most important, it is the only solution for coexistence of 100M11ps network and broadband Internet Access by CabldADSL modem with lOBase-T network interface. The l0/100 hubs feature five or eight autosensing 10/100 hub ports. All the ports are fully autosensing. Simply plug in the network cable and the 10/ 100 hubs will automatically determine the maximum speed (lOMbps or lOOMbps) of the connection. Features 0 Five or eight dual—speed 10/ 100 autosensing ports 0 Plug-n-Play; makes network installation at no—hrrainer 0 Automatic setting of each port to the highest speed. No configuration changes/service interruptions migrating from lOM‘bps to lOOMbps Built-in internal switch; mix & match 10M'bps and 100Mbps 0 Store-and forward switching between lOM‘bps and 100Mbps networks; protects against data-error and enhances effective network traffic 0 Front panel LED indicators; troubleshooting at a glance Complies with IEEE 802.3 lOBase—T and 802.3u looBase-TX standards O FCC Class B certified for both office and residential use SOHOware’" 1 11/100 Aurasenring Hub 1 What You Get ' One S-port or 8—port 10/100 autosensing hub ' One AC power Adapter ' This installation guide - Regisnation card (register to receive: Free / Warranty protection 1 Information on upcoming product releases and special product offers I Technical support What You Need - Desktop/Notebook PCs ' Network Adapters, e.g. SOHme-e Fast ' Network Cables, e,g.

Installing Your Hub lnsmllafion couldn‘t be easier. Only two steps and you‘re in business: 1. Plug: Plug the cable of the connected device to the port of the hub 2. Play: Plug one end of the power adapter into the rear panel of the hub and the other into the wall socket Rear Panel Rear Panel Figure 54 Twostep Installallon Procedure Connecting Devices to the Hub Ports This section will show you how to connect a workstation or another hub/switch to this hub. Before you connect network devices to it, note that: l Normal; makes a normal mn'sterl-pair connection I Uplin uplinks to another hub or switch The following examples will give you a better idea of how to connect a device to this hub. 4 SOH0wnre'm 10/100 Autosensing Hub A4 Connecting to a Worksatian Usually loM'bps or lOOMbps workstations are connected to Port 2~8, wlnle other hubs or switches are connected to Port 1 for uplinkmg, Ifyou connect the workstation to Port I, remember to set it as the Normal Position.

Scenario I, Connect Cable/ADSL Modem to your LAN " ‘ (Local Area Network) Method 1. Direclly connect the Cable/ADSL Modem la the uplinkpan (set In the Uplinkpasitian) ofhub by Cat. 3 or Cat. 5 (177J (Umhielded Twist Pair) cable Few of the existing Cahle/ADSL Modem have lOOBase-TX network interface to connect to LAN, if you want to use 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network and Cnble/ADSL Modem for high-speed Internet access at the same network, 10/100 Hub is the only solution for you. Your registered [P number limits the user number who can access Internet. Figure 8. Connect Cable/ADSL Modem to the Upllnk port of 101100 Huh Method 2. Connect the Cable/ADSL Modem to one afthe PC: on the network If you only register one IP account and want to share it to other users on the network, then you must connect the Cahle/ADSL modem to one of the PCs, and share the D’ by the Internet Sharing tool, no matter sofiware or hardware, for example, Sygate Internet Sharing sofiwm. 6 SOHOWa'm:TM 10/100 Autaunsing Hub ts Flgure 9l Connect Cable/ADSL Modern to one of the PCs on the network Scenario II. Expansion of the existing 10Mbps Ethernet Network Any existing lOMbps Ethernet devices, no matter hubs or adapters, can cooperate with this 10/100 autosensmg Fast Ethernet huhl Such flexibility lets you optimize your investment to mix and match everyone‘s needs. IOMbps Huh Uplink NDH 305 lOMbps lOOMbps Flour: 1111. Connect any of your exlstlng 10Mbps equipm-nt to the 101100 hub Scenario III. Future Growth You can connect up to 5/8 devices, including the PCs, networking peripherals, and uphnked hub, to the SIS-port 10/100 hub. More than 5/8 PCs? No problem! When your network needs to grow beyond the five/eight available connections provided by the hub, you simply purchase another hub or switch (e.g. SOHOwareT“ SuperFlex 10/100 s-port Hub plus one Switch port, SOHOware‘“ Plug-n—Switch) and cascade it with the original. —_______— SOHOWarz'MI W1 00 Aulasenn'ng Hub 7 Another Hub / Swilch IOOM‘bps 100Mbps Figur- 11.
