HP 100Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference Guide

2-4 Installing the System

Connecting the Hub System

Remember to label all your

connections at both ends of the

cable to facilitate troubleshooting

or future changes to network

configuration.

The HP 100Base-T Hubs have 12 or 24 RJ-45 shielded ports

(i.e., 100Base-TX) that support connections to 100 Mbit/s Fast

Ethernet. Ports 1 - 12/24 (MDI-X) allow you to connect to

devices such as a workstation or server. While Port 12/Port 24

(MDI) lets you easily cascade to a compatible switch or router

(i.e., connecting from MDI to MDI-X ports on either device).

The Hub-12TX/Hub-12TXM also provides an Expansion Slot

for plugging in optional Switch Port Modules. These modules

support a single connection to 100Base-TX (or 10Base-T) or

100Base-FX. They provide a convenient way to attach to

devices which use an alternate media type (e.g., linking fiber

optic cable to a remote device).

The transmission speed for 100Base-TX ports on the optional

Switch Port Modules is automatically set at 10 or 100 Mbit/s to

match the operating speed of the attached device. Moreover, the

transmission mode of the 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX ports on

the optional modules is set at full or half duplex to match the

optimum capability of the attached device.

Note: Auto-negotiation sets the transmission mode automatically on the

10/100TX Switch Port Module, but not on the 100Base-FX module. You

need to manually set the transmission mode in the 100Base-FX module

using the VT-100 console interface.

Making a Connection via an MDI-X Hub Port

You can connect an RJ-45 station port on the hub to any device

that uses a standard 100Base-TX (802.3u), RJ-45 compliant

network interface, such as a workstation or server, or also to a

router (depending on the port type implemented).

1. Prepare the network devices you wish to network. Make

sure you have installed suitable 100Base-TX LAN adapters

in the end nodes before making a connection to any of the

hub’s ports. You also need to prepare straight-through
