Power Connector
The hub does not have a power switch; it is powered on when the power
cord in plugged into the power connector. The hub's power supply
automatically adjusts to any ac power source between 90 and 240 volts.
There are no voltage range settings required.
Redundant Power Supply (RPS) Connector
The RPS connector allows you to connect this hub to the HP J2962A
Redundant Power Supply. When an HP RPS is connected, the Hub-14
receives uninterrupted power.

100VG-AnyLAN Technology

The HP AdvanceStack 100VG hubs are intelligent multiport repeaters. Their
design is based on the IEEE 802.12 100VG-AnyLAN standard. Data packets
coming into the hub from any of its ports are automatically regenerated and
transmitted to one or more LAN ports depending on the packet destination
or the port's operating mode. The hub regenerates the data without
interpreting the contents, so it can be used with any upper-level protocol.
Because of frame-type compatibility, the hub can easily connect to an
existing Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 (10 Mbit/second) network when the
appropriate bridge and transceiver modules are installed.
For information on link training, repeater operation, demand priority
protocol, refer to the 100VG-AnyLAN Technology Guide included with this
hub.
