Installation and Reference for the BayStack 150-series Ethernet Hubs
•
Innovative display
The hubs are equipped with a large, clear display that shows an extensive
array of information at a glance, including link, receive, and partitioning
status; bandwidth utilization; collision ratio; and data transmission errors.
Runt occurrences, data packet corruption, management status, late collisions,
and connection to the communication port are shown on the BayStack 150
and 152 hubs.
•
Security
The hubs support intrusion control and eavesdrop protection, which prevents
unauthorized individuals from accessing the network. Through the network
management software, Ethernet addresses that represent authorized users can
be assigned to each hub port. If a packet is received from a port that contains a
source address from other than the authorized user, the port is disabled and a
notification is sent to the network manager.
Features
The BayStack 150-series hubs have the following features:
•
Compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standards
•
Sturdy metal enclosure
•
Independent RJ-45 ports for Category 3, 4, and 5 twisted pair wiring (either
UTP or STP) to nodes in a 10BASE-T-compliant network
— 12 RJ-45 ports on the BayStack 152 and 153 hubs
— 24 RJ-45 ports on the BayStack 150 and 151 hubs
•
A switchable uplink port that allows stacks of hubs to be daisychained
together easily to further expand the network
•
Hub stack cascade cabling that does the following:
— Allows a total distance of 100 meters (m) between the first hub and the
last hub in the daisy chain
— Expands network capacity up to 8 hubs in a single stack for a maximum
of 192 ports (and 8 AUI ports)
