Product Description
Package contents of the BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hub include
materials for rack mounting and connecting the hubs, such as a rack mount kit and
an AC power cord. Standard Ethernet UTP or STP cables are not provided.
Autosense Capability
BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hub ports automatically sense the
10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s transmission speed of attached devices. Each port
automatically sends traffic through the route with the highest available
transmission speed, depending on the capability of the connected device. Traffic is
forwarded to the 10 or 100 Mb/s segment on the hub, again depending on the
incoming speed of the traffic. By confining traffic to its respective segments and
only forwarding traffic to the other segment when required, the overall load on the
network is significantly reduced.
Front Panel
The BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hub includes front panel LEDs
and ports for connecting to other devices.
Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show the front panels of the BayStack 60-12T 10/100
Ethernet Hub and BayStack 60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hub, respectively. Table 1-1
on page 4 provides further details about the LEDs.
