Introduction
Overview
This guide contains information required to install and operate the
EtherWORKS Hub 8TX repeater (hereafter referred to as the Hub 8TX).
The Hub 8TX is a smart 8-port Class II 100BASE-TX repeater that
complies with the IEEE 802.3u standard. The Hub 8TX is used for 100
megabits per second (100-Mb/s) Ethernet networks. It can link two to
eight PCs or workstations using Category 5 unshielded or screened
twisted-pair (UTP or ScTP) cables to form a simple, fast Ethernet LAN.
The Hub 8TX also contains a daisy-chain port to connect to another
compatible repeater using twisted-pair cable.
