Bridge Uplink port for easy expansion, which supports uplink distance up to 100 meters. External AC power adapter. · · HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, 4 followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the Hub. AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub · LED Indicator Panel Refer to the LED Indicator section for detailed information about each of the hub' s LED indicators. 5 Rear Panel AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub · DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage. MDI-X Jacks: Use these jacks to connect stations to the hub. These are MDI-X (MediumDependent Interface, Cross-wired) jacks, which mean, you can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect user machines and servers to the hub through them. If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X jack, such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossover cable, or make the connection 6 · using the MDI-II jack (described below). · Uplink Jack(s) (MDI-II): Use this jack to connect stations to the hub. This is MDI-II (Mediumdependent Interface, straight-wired) jack, which means you can connect the hub to a device with a MDI-X port using an ordinary straight-through cable. LED Indicators AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub · Power Indicator (PWR) When this indicator lights green, the hub is receiving power, otherwise. · Expansion switch port full duplex status (EXPFDX) 7 When this indicator lights green, the expansion switch port active on full-duplex mode. · 100M Collision (COL 100M) This indicator indicates there is data collisions on the respective 100Mbps Fast Ethernet segments of the hub. Whenever a collision is detected, this COL 100M indicator will briefly blink amber. · 10M Collision (COL 10M) This indicator indicates data collisions on the respective 10Mbps Ethernet segments of the hub. Whenever a collision is detected, this COL 10M indicator will briefly blink amber. Since collisions occur frequently on a network with many nods, the LED flashes more rapidly as the number of users or network traffic increases. 10M) When this indicator lights green, the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet card or hub. When the LED is blinking green, it indicates the data is receiving/sending from the network and is processed by the hub. If the LED does not light on, It means the cable link is not established or the port is connected to a 100Mbps Ethernet card or hub. [. . . ] It also support bridge function, which provides scalable network expansion (unlimited expandability!!) 11 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS General Standards IEEE 802. 3 10BASE-T Ethernet IEEE 802. 3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Protocol Data Transfer Rate Topology Network Cables CSMA/CD Ethernet: 10Mbps Fast Ethernet: 100Mbps Star Ethernet: 2-pair UTP Cat. 3, 4, 5 (100 m), EIA/TIA- 568 100-ohm STP (100 m), maximum length 100 meters. 5 (100 m), EIA/TIA-568 100-ohm STP (100 m), maximum length 100 meters Number of Ports Uplink Port 5-port: 5 x 10/100Mbps ports 8-port: 8 x10/100Mbps ports MDI-II RJ-45 shared with port * 1, share with port 1 Physical and Environmental DC inputs DC5V/2. 4A 12 Power Consumption Temperature Humidity Dimensions EMI: 12 watt.
