100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule Features
Description
Provides high-density workgroup Ethernet FastModules
for implementation of Fast Ethernet to the desktop.
Workgroups help you achieve reduced traffic congestion
and increased service levels on the existing network by
implementing microsegmented Fast Ethernet.
Connects to each of the four Fast Ethernet channels
located on the TriChannel
CoreBuilder 5000 hub.
Ensures maximum network availability with no single
point of failure (redundant link).
Checks driver and receiver integrity using Remote
Diagnostics mode. Setting a port to this mode allows the
port to indicate a receive link error to the
externally-connected port by not transmitting any link
signals.
Provides IEEE Repeater statistics-gathering for monitoring
of CoreBuilder 5000 network management architecture.
In addition, the 12-Port 10BASE-TX module supports
Repeater Management Information Base (MIB) statistics
through the terminal without the need for a Network
Monitor Card.
Maintains inventory information for the 12-Port
100BASE-TX module in non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
Information includes the module serial number, power
requirements, power class settings (for example, power
on priority), date of manufacture, and a user note pad for
entering installation-specific information.
architecture which enables the hub to intelligently enable
or disable modules depending on the available power in
the system.
You can insert or remove 100BASE-TX Workgroup
FastModules without powering off the CoreBuilder 5000
chassis.
Provides in-band SNMP and TELNET management through
the 3Com CoreBuilder 5000 Distributed Management
Module. Also provides out-of-band SLIP management.
