Connecting Network Devices

The Auto-sensing capability allows Asanté Hubs to connect to 10Mbps and/or
100Mbps devices in your network. This section describes setting up network
configurations using a variety of devices.

10Mbps/100Mbps Speed Sources

By default, each port is set to Auto-sensing mode. The Asanté Hubs will detect
the correct 10Mbps/100Mbps speed to transmit information to connected
10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices.

The FH208 and the FH216 need two different speed sources to transmit
10Mbps or 100Mbps within two different domains. Therefore, two ports
connected to 10Mbps and 100Mbps are required.

▲

Caution! 10Mbps and 100Mbps information cannot be
transmitted between 10Mbps and 100Mbps domains.

If you want to transmit information between 10Mbps and 100Mbps domains,
a switching hub or a hub with an internal switch module such as the FH208B
