HP 100Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference Guide
Hardware Reference 5-11
Network Connections
The front panel on the HP 100Base-T Hubs provide the
following network options:
• Connections to end-node devices using RJ-45 station ports.
• Cascaded connection to a compatible switch or router using
the cascade port.
• Extended network connection using the Switch Port Modules
for 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX.
Station Ports
The hub has 12 or 24 RJ-45 station ports that can be used to
connect end-node devices (e.g., file servers, workstations or
printers). Be sure you have a Fast Ethernet LAN adapter
installed in the device to be connected to the hub. Then
connect it to any available RJ-45 station port on the hub (i.e.,
1X ~ 12MDI-X) using straight-through shielded or unshielded
(100
W STP or UTP) twisted-pair cable.
Cascade Port
A compatible switch or other network interconnection device can
be attached to the 12MDI/24MDI cascade port. Use straight-
through shielded or unshielded (100
W STP or UTP) twisted-pair
cable to connect to an MDI-X station port on the target device.
Refer to the section on
0DNLQJD&RQQHFWLRQYLDWKH0',&DVFDGH3RUW in
Chapter 2 for a detailed description on cascading.
Note: This device is a Class I repeater and cannot be cascaded to
another hub within the same collision domain.
