Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com
®
.
In the modern business environment, communication
and sharing information are crucial. Computer
networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes
of communication. The OfficeConnect
®
product
range from 3Com brings the power of computer
networks to the small office.
The OfficeConnect Dual Speed Hub 8 is an
easy-to-use Class II
hub (repeater) with eight
10/100BASE-TX ports. It allows you to set up a
network with both Ethernet (10Mbps) and Fast
Ethernet (100Mbps) workstations and other devices
(a Class II hub can be connected to another Fast
Ethernet hub, a Class I hub cannot).
When referring to the OfficeConnect Dual Speed
Hub 8, this guide uses the term ‘Hub’.
Each port on the Hub can be connected to either a
10BASE-T (Ethernet) or a 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet)
device. The port senses the speed of the connected
equipment and operates at the appropriate speed.
If you wish to extend an existing Ethernet network
into Fast Ethernet, adding a Dual Speed Hub 8 can
offer a more cost-effective migration path than
adding both a 100Mbps hub and a 10/100Mbps
switch.
Small Network with OfficeConnect Dual Speed Hub 8
The Hub is ideal for use with other OfficeConnect
products. The OfficeConnect product range is
compact and attractively designed for desktop use,
and neatly stacks together with clips. For further
information, refer to the “OfficeConnect Product
Range” sheet that accompanies the Hub.
This guide helps you get the most out of your Hub.
