Eight RJ-45 (twisted-pair) ports to connect to end nodes or other devices.
A Media Dependent Interface (MDI) switch for Port 1 which allows you to
connect either an end node (MDI-X position) or to cascade a hub (MDI position)
to the port, using a "straight-through" twisted-pair cable in both cases.
A management slot in the back of the hub enables you to install an optional HP
AdvanceStack 8U/16U SNMP Module. With the module, you can configure,
monitor, and troubleshoot the hub using either of the following options:
+ Serially connect an ASCII console to the hub.
+ Use HP AdvanceStack Assistant (HP ASA) to monitor traffic and manage
the hub from a PC running ASA on the network. HP ASA (formerly HP
Interconnect Manager) is included at no extra cost with the 8U/16U SNMP
Module. HP ASA works over the network through either a twisted-pair cable
connected to any UTP port, or a fiber or ThinLAN cable connected to an
optional ThinLAN or fiber-optic transceiver installed in the back of the hub.
An AUI/Xcvr Slot in the back of the hub for several types of transceiver modules
including ThinLAN, AUI, twisted-pair, and fiber-optic. With the optional ThinLAN
transceiver, you can "hot-swap" a hub. Hot-swap means that removing a hub
connected to other hubs through the ThinLAN transceiver does not bring down
the network; you can upgrade or replace hubs in a stack with the network up
and running. The AUI Port Module with an external transceiver allows you to
connect to an Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 LAN. The twisted-pair module adds a ninth
RJ-45 port for a total of nine twisted-pair ports on the hub. The fiber-optic
module allows you to connect your hub to a fiber-optic backbone.
LEDs showing power, activity, collisions, and port status provide quick, easy-to-
read hub status information and troubleshooting assistance.
A small footprint that allows you to install the hub in a variety of ways, including
on a desk, under a desk, or on a wall.
Compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T standard to support both 802.3
and Ethernet networks.
