Page 2: Feature Summary
(see Figure 1-2). All ports are compatible with the 100BaseTX IEEE-802.3u specification and can connect to any 100BaseTX device through standard Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. 1-2 FastHub 116T Installation Guide Feature Summary Description • IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater compliant. - Page 3 Ports 1x through 16x have their transmit (TD) and receive (RD) pairs internally crossed. Standard Category 5 UTP crossover cable is required when connecting these ports to another hub, switch, or router (unless you are connecting to the uplink port on another FastHub or 100BaseT hub).

Page 5: System Led
SYSTEM LED The system status LED shows whether the FastHub is powered up and provides an indication of any problem with the main system board of the FastHub (see Table 1-3). Note The system status LED and RPS LED are used together to isolate internal power supply or RPS problems. -
Page 6: Stat Mode
This indication remains until the link fault is corrected. Possible causes are autopartition, jabber, and isolated (carrier integrity error). Note that this state should not be confused with the “no link status” (link down) indication where the link is not operational. 1-6 FastHub 116T Installation Guide Port Status LED Description Port Status No link (link down). - Page 7 ID Mode In unit identification mode, the LED for port 1 is solid green, indicating that the unit ID number for the FastHub is 1. For the FastHub 116T, the unit ID number is always 1. Front Panel Description Overview 1-7...
