Overview

The Compaq Netelligent 2008/2016 10Base-T repeater is the ideal connectivity
solution for departmental Ethernet networks that contain 8 to 160 nodes. The
repeater is available in a 16-port model and an 8-port model. The repeater is
easy to configure, maintain, and expand. Each repeater is pre-configured with
management capability and is fully manageable under SNMP management
systems, such as Compaq Netelligent Management Software.

Features

Both repeater models include these features:
RJ-45 ports (16 for the 16-port; 8 for the 8-port) to connect UTP or STP
cabling to workstations and servers in a 10Base-T network
Two repeater expansion ports (IN and OUT) that allow up to ten
repeaters to be daisy-chained to accommodate network growth
Extended Repeater Architecture (ERA) allows the combined cabling for
all interconnected repeaters to extend up to 250 feet (76.22 meters). This
makes repeaters perfect for network installations that require repeaters
on multiple floors.
Front-panel uplink switch that converts RJ-45 Port 16 on a 16-port
repeater or Port 8 on an 8-port repeater to an uplinkable port so that the
repeater can connect to another repeater in a star topology
Serial port that supports out-of-band management and firmware
upgrades using SLIP (Telnet and TFTP) or a serial connection (VT100
and XMODEM).
In-band management and firmware upgrades using BOOTP/TFTP
Segmentable on a per repeater basis
LEDs that indicate power, segmentation, and collision status as well as
port activity
Full compatibility with the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T repeater specification
