Model DS508/DS516/DS524 Dual Speed Stackable Hub Installation Guide
The Model DS508, Model DS516, and Model DS524 hubs can be used for connecting users to
shared network resources such as servers, printers, and routers. All models allow for easy
migration from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps operation. Users connected at 10 Mbps can coexist with
power users connected at 100 Mbps; both types of users can take advantage of shared resources
connected at the higher transmission speed. The following illustration shows some typical
applications of the three hub models in a mixed 10/100 Mbps environment.
