Intel Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hub
Connecting to Non-
100BASE-T4 devices
Connecting to 100BASE-TX devices
You have two options for connecting the Express 100BASE-T4
Stackable Hub to a 100BASE-TX device:
•
an Intel 100BASE-TX Uplink Module
•
a routing server equipped with a 100BASE-T4 NIC and a
100BASE-TX NIC
You can also use Intel cascade cables to combine Express
100BASE-TX Stackable Hubs with Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable
hubs in a stack. If you’re using a combined stack, make sure you attach
the appropriate device (TX or T4) to each type of hub. If you attach the
wrong type of device to a hub, that device won’t function properly, and
the hub may malfunction.
100BASE-TX Uplink Module
Intel’s 100BASE-TX Uplink Module fits in the hub’s media adapter
slot and allows you to connect to 100BASE-TX devices using
Category 5 UTP cabling.
For more information on the 100BASE-TX Uplink Module, see
Appendix B.
NOTE
Port 1 on a hub is disabled
when an uplink module is
installed.
