10BASE-T MINIHUB
2. Introduction
2.2 Description
The 10BASE-T MiniHub is an 8-port
10BASE-T workplace hub in a very
compact package. It is powered from
the AUI of an Ethernet device, not
an AC supply, although an optional
one is available. It is simple to install
and use in an office or lab environ-
ment, requiring no special rack
cabinets or wiring-closet apparatus.
The MiniHub is a standard physical-
layer Ethernet product and operates
independently of all software.
The 10BASE-T MiniHub is also
well-suited for small-to-medium sized
office or lab environments (up to 9
persons) that need an independent
Ethernet network. Small indepen-
dent networks built using the Hub
are easily expanded by cascading
hubs of equal or greater capacity.
See Section 3.4 for more about the
Up-Link switched-port feature.
The 10BASE-T MiniHub’s small
size makes it very useful for
demonstration situations in confer-
ence rooms and in exhibitions where
a temporary network or network
expansion is needed. The 10BASE-T
MiniHub takes up minimal space
and requires no AC power, and is
rugged enough to be carried in a
coat pocket.
2.1 Inspecting the Package
and Product
Examine the shipping container for
obvious damage before installing
this product; notify the carrier of any
damage that you believe occurred
during shipment or delivery. Inspect
the contents of this package for any
signs of damage and make sure that
the items listed below are included:
• 10BASE-T MiniHub
• (1) pair of mounting ears
• (1) Velcro®tape section,
approximately 3 inches long
• This User’s Guide
Remove the 10BASE-T MiniHub
from the shipping container. Be sure
to keep the shipping container in
case you need to ship the unit at a
later date.
If any items are missing or
damaged, contact your supplier.
CHAPTER 2: Introduction
9
The 10BASE-T MiniHub fits easily
into the workplace environment. It
ican be mounted on a tabletop or
shelf, or, with the included Velcro®
strip, on a wall surface, or on the
back or side of a desk or cabinet. All
of the wiring connectors are in the
same place, so that wiring space is
neat and minimal.
The 10BASE-T MiniHub includes
Link and RX LEDs for each RJ-45
port, and one LED for power,
located in the upper right corner.
Since each LED is near the port it
monitors, it is easy to associate the
status LED for each of the ports with
the appropriate port.

10BASE-T MINIHUB
• LEDs simplify network
installation and maintenance—
The 10BASE-T MiniHub is
equipped with a full comple-
ment of LEDs to provide status
about basic network activity.
Eight Link LEDs offer a very
simple way for operational
connections to be verified at the
end of each 10BASE-T segment.
• Low-cost, standalone 10BASE-T
connectivity—Operating in a
standalone environment as a
self-sufficient device, the
10BASE-T MiniHub offers a very
low cost method of providing
small workgroups access to a
variety of Ethernet networking
services such as file sharing,
email, printer sharing, and other
computer information.
The 10BASE-T MiniHub is used as
a standalone unit to network a local
personal multi-user system such as
shown in Figure 2-2.
2.3 Features and Benefits
• Interconnect to an existing
Ethernet network—The 10BASE-
T MiniHub provides an Up-Link
switch for port #8 to be used to
connect it into an existing
Ethernet environment (such as
the central hub for the building
or area) via 10BASE-T wiring.
• Interoperable with other
Ethernet devices—The 10BASE-
T MiniHub is completely
interoperable with other
Ethernet-compliant network
devices. Each is fully compliant
with IEEE 802.3 specifications
for 10 Mbps CSMA/CD oper-
ation. This allows the Hub to be
integrated within any standard
Ethernet network and to operate
with all standard software.
• Installation versatility—The
10BASE-T MiniHub is simple
and easy to install in almost any
office or lab location. The tiny
package is very unobtrusive.
• Robust Network Operations—
The 10BASE-T MiniHub uses the
“star” network topology and has
automatic per-port partitioning
and reconnection. A fault on
one segment is isolated from
the rest of the network, avoiding
most network downtime.

Up to 8 RJ-45 user ports are
available where only 10BASE-T
wiring is used, and full-length
Ethernet segments are supported
on all 8 segments. In this
application, the “Up-Link” switch is
in the straight-through or = position,
so that port #8 on the front of the
unit is a user port (not an up-link to
another hub).
