OFFICECONNECT® DUAL SPEED HUB 8 3C16750 USER GUIDE Part No. DUA1675-0AAA01 Published February 1998 INTRODUCTION 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. 1
