Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com

®

.

In the modern business environment, communication

and sharing information are crucial. Computer

networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes

of communication. The OfficeConnect

®

product

range from 3Com brings the power of computer

networks to the small office.

The OfficeConnect Dual Speed Hub 8 is an

easy-to-use Class II

hub (repeater) with eight

10/100BASE-TX ports. It allows you to set up a

network with both Ethernet (10Mbps) and Fast

Ethernet (100Mbps) workstations and other devices

(a Class II hub can be connected to another Fast

Ethernet hub, a Class I hub cannot).

When referring to the OfficeConnect Dual Speed

Hub 8, this guide uses the term ‘Hub’.

Each port on the Hub can be connected to either a

10BASE-T (Ethernet) or a 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet)

device. The port senses the speed of the connected

equipment and operates at the appropriate speed.

If you wish to extend an existing Ethernet network

into Fast Ethernet, adding a Dual Speed Hub 8 can

offer a more cost-effective migration path than

adding both a 100Mbps hub and a 10/100Mbps

switch.

Small Network with OfficeConnect Dual Speed Hub 8

The Hub is ideal for use with other OfficeConnect

products. The OfficeConnect product range is

compact and attractively designed for desktop use,

and neatly stacks together with clips. For further

information, refer to the “OfficeConnect Product

Range” sheet that accompanies the Hub.

This guide helps you get the most out of your Hub.
