HP 100Base-T Hub 8 Installation and Reference Guide
1-2 Product Overview
■ Friendly design that monitors network utilization, collisions, link and
port partition status
■ LED indicator panel includes Utilization rate indicators and Collision
indicator for reporting hub activity and facilitating problem diagnosis
■ Automatically partitions bad ports to protect the network system
■ Automatic polarity detection and correction permits automatic adjust-
ment for wiring errors
■ Plug-and-play operation
The HP 100Base-T Hub 8 also supports basic system safeguards, including
automatic partitioning and reconnection, jabber lockup protection, and
automatic polarity detection for network cabling.
■ With automatic partitioning and reconnection, any port is automatically
isolated if excessive collisions occur on it. When the condition is cor-
rected, the port is automatically reconnected.
■ With the jabber lock-up function, the hub automatically stops transmis-
sion of abnormal Ethernet frames that may cause data loss for all network
users. (Jabber refers to abnormal Ethernet frames which are much too
long and may come from a malfunctioning Ethernet card.)
■ With automatic polarity detection, the hub recognizes and adjusts for
attached cable assemblies which may be wired with incorrect polarity on
the receive pair.
