    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs XTERNAL EATURES NDICATORS This chapter introduces the controls and connectors on the front and rear panels of the hub, and explains the front panel display in detail. Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 show the layouts of the front panel, rear panel, and display of the stackable hubs.
  • Page 16: E Xternal F Eatures And I Ndicators

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs AUI Connector Daisy-chain Port The following components are found on the front and back panels of the hubs: ♦ Ethernet Ports Used for connecting the hub to network devices using 10BASE-T shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable. The X label marked on each port means the ports are MDI-X ports, which connect to workstations and servers using straight-through cables and to other hubs using crossover cables.
  • Page 17: Front Panel Indicators

    ♦ AUI Port Used when connecting the hub to a 10BASE5 "thick Ethernet" backbone, or to other types of Ethernet media. The recessed AUI port accommodates most standard transceivers (also known as Media Access Units or MAUs), allowing the transceiver to be safely and conveniently tucked away.
  • Page 18 10BASE-T Stackable Hubs The hub's front panel display features the following indicators: ♦ Port Status Indicators Each of the ports has an LED status indicator for reporting its link and activity status, and showing whether or not it has been partitioned. The port status indicators always come on when the hub is powered on.
  • Page 19 ◊ Manual Partition The indicator of a port lights amber continually when the port is manually partitioned. Manually partitioning a port has the same effect as automatic partitioning, except that you must also manually re-enable it. You can choose to manually partition a port even if there is nothing wrong with it, for example to prevent a certain device from accessing the network or to reduce network traffic.
  • Page 20 10BASE-T Stackable Hubs ♦ Late Col (manageable models only) The Late Col indicator lights when a collision is detected that happened after the 512th bit of a frame. Late collisions may be caused by overly long delays in the Ethernet network, either due to cable that is too long or a repeater (hub) count that is too high.

  • Page 25: Free-Standing Installation

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs Free-standing Installation If you are installing the hub as a free-standing unit, apply the four self- adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the hub chassis. Make sure the bottom surface of the chassis is clean and dry. Stand the chassis up-on-end and attach one rubber foot about 1 inch from each corner.
  • Page 26: Installing The Transceiver Tray

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs Installing the Transceiver Tray At the rear of the hub, there is an AUI connector designed for connecting the hub to various types of Ethernet media such as thick Ethernet coaxial cable (10BASE5), thin Ethernet coax (10BASE2), or fiber optic cabling (10BASE- FL).
  • Page 27: Replacing The Power Supply

    Replacing the Power Supply The hub comes with a removable power supply for easy replacement. In the unlikely event that the power supply fails or is damaged, follow the steps below to replace the power supply. Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Disconnect the power cord from its connector on the rear of the hub.
  • Page 29: Building Hub Stacks

    You can combine up to eight hubs in the Intelligent Series into a single manageable hub stack. Building a hub stack has two advantages: ♦ All of the hubs can be managed as a single unit using a network management system or the console interface. Up to 192 10BASE-T ports can be controlled and monitored from a single management screen.
  • Page 30: Position Within The Stack

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs can take on different roles depending on the type of hub it is and its position in the hub stack. Position Within the Stack Hubs in the hub stack are connected using the daisy-chain ports located at the rear of the hub.
  • Page 31: Slave Hub Roles

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs another master hub upstream. If it receives commands from a master hub, it becomes a Standby Master, controlled by the Active Master. If it does not receive any commands, or if the Active Master hub fails, it will become the Active Master.
  • Page 32: Hub Id

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs When there is a working Active Master in the stack, then each slave hub in the stack will be a Managed hub controlled by the Active Master hub, and will have its own Hub ID. Hub ID Hub ID numbers, displayed on the front of the hub, are determined automatically by the master hub.
  • Page 33: Segmenting Hubs

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs Figure 4 -2 Daisy-Chaining Hubs Segmenting Hubs The emergence of Ethernet switching hub technology has made it more common to segment local area networks into smaller pieces to reduce congestion on each segment. This makes it easier to balance network loads, since a smaller number of devices compete for the 10Mbps bandwidth on each network segment.
  • Page 34 10BASE-T Stackable Hubs Figure 4 -3 All Hubs Connected to Ethernet Backbone Figure 4 -3 shows an unsegmented stack of hubs. All hubs in the stack are in the same collision domain because they are connected together using the daisy-chain ports and they have not been segmented. Figure 4 -4 shows a stack divided into three separate collision domains.
  • Page 35 Figure 4 -4 Three Separate Collision Domains When a hub is segmented from the rest of the stack, the Segmented indicator on the front panel display will light. For information about segmenting hubs using the console interface, see Chapter 6 in this User's Guide. information about segmenting hubs using the network management module for the hub, see the management module's User's Guide.
  • Page 37: Network Connections

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs ETWORK ONNECTIONS Once you have set up your hubs and connected them into a stack, you are ready to connect network stations, and to connect your hub to the rest of your Ethernet network. This chapter tells how to connect workstations to the hub, and the hub to the other hubs and network components on your local area network.
  • Page 38 10BASE-T Stackable Hubs Plug the RJ-45 connector at one end into the network station, and the other end into a free 10BASE-T port on the front of the hub. When both the hub and the device at the other end of the connection are turned on, and the cable is connected at both ends, then the Link indication for the port should light.
  • Page 39: Cascading Hub Stacks

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs Cascading Hub Stacks If you need to expand your network beyond an eight-port stack, or you need to connect your hub to other parts of your network, you can cascade it using several different network media, including 10BASE-T twisted-pair cabling, 10BASE2 thin coaxial cabling, 10BASE5 thick coaxial cabling, and FOIRL or 10BASE-FL fiber optic cabling.
  • Page 40 10BASE-T Stackable Hubs This means you can cascade to another hub using an ordinary straight- through twisted-pair cable. Figure 5 -2 Uplink Switch Setting When using this method, set the Port 1 Uplink switch to MDI, connect one end of the straight-through cable Port 1 of the hub, and connect the other end of the cable to an ordinary (non-uplink) port on the other repeater hub or Ethernet switch.
  • Page 41: Using Thin Coaxial Cabling

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs Using Thin Coaxial Cabling With the addition of a 10BASE2 transceiver connected to the AUI port at the rear of the hub (as described in Chapter 3), you can cascade the hub to other hubs or stations using thin coaxial cabling. This method of cascading hubs gives additional flexibility over using twisted-pair cable, since you can cascade up to thirty hubs on a single thin coaxial cable segment.
  • Page 42: Multilevel Cascading

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs When connecting a transceiver to the hub, the transceiver's SQE (heartbeat) function should be disabled. Multilevel Cascading Hubs can be cascaded in multiple levels, provided no path between stations on the network goes through more than four repeaters. For example, a backbone level of hubs can be connected in a bus using 10BASE2 cabling, and second-level workgroup hubs can be connected to the backbone hubs using twisted-pair cabling.
  • Page 43: Using The Console Interface

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs SING THE ONSOLE NTERFACE Your Intelligent stackable Ethernet hub supports a console management interface that allows you to set up and control your hub, either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol.
  • Page 44: Console Usage Conventions

    10BASE-T Stackable Hubs ♦ 8 data bits ♦ No parity ♦ One stop bit You can also access the same functions over a Telnet interface. Once you have set an IP address for your hub, you can use a Telnet program (in a VT- 100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the hub.
  • Page 45: Logging In To The Hub Console

    Logging In to the Hub Console The Intelligent Series master hubs support user-based security that can allow you to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the hub or changing its settings. This means that before you can access the functions of the hub, you will need to first log into the hub, giving a password.
