In a repeater environment, 100BASE-TX only allows a single layer of cascaded hubs. Switching hubs, such as LantronixÕs LSW8FA, may increase the network diameter for 100BASE-TX networks by buffering data packets. Each port can be connected to a separate LAN segment, each with a maximum diameter of 205 meters, thereby increasing the overall 100BASE-TX network diameter.
The LFH Stackable Fast Ethernet Hubs are easy to install and require no special training. You should, however, read the following instruc- tions carefully before proceeding to install your hub. Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the layout of the front panels. Figure 2-1 LFH8-S Front Panel LFH8-S UTILIZATION % PARTITION LINK/RECEIVE PORT NO.
When placing your LFH hub, you need to avoid dusty locations and electromagnetically noisy areas 2.4 Mounting Your LFH8-S or LFH16-S hub is delivered with two brackets for mounting the hub in an EIA standard 19 inch rack. Secure the mounting brackets onto the sides of the hub, fastening them with screws as shown in Figure 2-3.
2.5 Stacking LFH8-S/LFH16-S Hubs You can stack up to six LFH8-S/LFH16-S hubs together using the special connectors on the back panel. A single stack can contain a mixture of 8-port and 16-port hubs.

2.6 Connecting the LFH Hub Use the following procedures to connect 100BASE-TX network devices to the hub: LFH8-S Ports 1-8 Uplink Port LFH16-S Ports 1-16 PC, Workstation Server Hub, Switch port Hub, Switch uplink port S = Straight Cable C = Crossover cable NOTE: If the Uplink Port is being utilized on the LFH hub, Port Ò8Ó...
Chapter 3 LED Indicators Figure 3-1 shows the LED indicators which indicate the link status of each of the ports, whether the LFH hub is receiving power, and the presence of network utilization % and partition on the network. Figure 3-1 LFH16-S Front Panel LED Indicators PORT NO.
3.3 Link/Receive LEDs The Link/Receive LEDs on the front panel are associated with indi- vidual ports, indicating whether a device is detected on the other end. The LFH hub monitors each port on the hub to determine whether or not there is a device on the other end. If the cable is connected to a port and a link is detected, the LED will light;...
