Chapter 1 Introduction The Compaq Netelligent 1108 100Base-TX Repeater (Part No. 267022-001) provides a high-speed solution to increasingly heavy network traffic and slow data throughput. The repeater uses the IEEE 802.3u, 100Base-TX standard to increase the speed of network transmissions by a factor of about 10. This enhanced performance greatly improves your network's efficiency.

Introduction RJ-45 Ports The repeater has eight RJ-45 ports that let you connect UTP or STP cabling to workstations and servers in an Ethernet network. Uplink Switch The uplink switch enables the 8th port on the repeater to function as either a standard IN RJ-45 port or an uplinkable OUT”...
Environmental Requirements Be sure the operating environment for the repeater is within the following ranges: Temperature: 32 to 120 F (0 to 49 C) Humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Altitude: 0 to 10,000 feet Netelligent 1108 100Base-TX Repeater User Guide...
Planning Hub Installation Electrical Requirements The electrical requirements for a repeater are as follows: Voltage: 100 to 240 VAC Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz Power: 0.25 to 0.5 Amps maximum CAUTION: grounded outlet. Do not use a three-to-two pronged adapter at the outlet.

This kit includes two side mounting brackets and eight screws to secure the brackets. To attach the brackets, position them as shown in Figure 3-1. Then secure the brackets with the screws supplied with the mounting kit. Netelligent 1108 100Base-TX Repeater User Guide...
......Installing the Hub Figure 3-1. Attaching the Mounting Brackets After you attach both mounting brackets, position the bracket slots over the desired holes on the rack (Figure 3-2).
Installing the Hub Setting the Uplink Switch The uplink switch lets you convert the repeater's 8th RJ-45 port to an uplinkable port so that you can interconnect two repeaters without the need for special crossover cables. The default setting for the switch is MDI-X (Media Dependent Interface-Reversed that is, standard repeater port).
