Requirements For Switching Hubs - Roland RSS M-300 Owner's Manual

Appendix

Requirements for switching hubs

Switching hubs used to connect REAC devices must meet the
following conditions:
• We recommend a switching hub that supports 1000BASE-T
(IEEE 802.3ab, Gigabit Ethernet)
• 100BASE-TX interface must be supported (IEEE 802.3u, Fast
Ethernet)
• Full duplex communication (simultaneous bidirectional
communication) must be supported
Caution when using a switching hub
• The network propagation time between REAC devices is
approximately 375 microseconds, but if the signal passes
through a switching hub, there will be approximately 200
microseconds of delay for each unit.
• Up to four switching hubs can be connected in series.
• Connect REAC devices to a switching hub that supports
100BASE-TX.
• Carefully read the owner's manual of the switching hub you use.
