CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Cabletron Systems

STH-22/-24/-42/-44 Stackable Token

Ring Hub User’s Guide

. The STH (Stackable Token Ring Hub) is a non-

intelligent hub designed to provide expanded connectivity for Cabletron

Systems’ STHi intelligent hubs and Cabletron Systems MicroMMAC

intelligent hubs. This manual provides installation instructions and

reference information for STH models 22, 24, 42, and 44.

Note

: The term STH is used throughout this manual when describing

features and functions that are common to the above listed STH models.

1.1 Using This Manual

Read through this manual completely to familiarize yourself with its

content and to gain an understanding of the features and capabilities of

the STH. A general working knowledge of IEEE 802.5 Token Ring data

communications networks and their physical layer components will be

helpful when installing the STH.

Chapter 1,

INTRODUCTION

, outlines the contents of this manual,

brieﬂy describes STH features, and concludes with a list of related

manuals.

Chapter 2,

REQUIREMENTS & SPECIFICATIONS

, describes

installation requirements, network guidelines, and STH operating

speciﬁcations.

Chapter 3,

INSTALLATION

, contains instructions for installing the STH.

Chapter 4,

TROUBLESHOOTING

, describes how to use the LANVIEW

LEDs to troubleshoot network problems.

1.2 STH Overview

The STH is a non-intelligent hub which provides expanded connectivity

for Cabletron Systems’ STHi intelligent hubs and Cabletron Systems

MicroMMAC intelligent hubs. Each STH added to an intelligent hub‘s

managed stack increases the LAN’s connectivity by 12 or 24 Trunk

STH Overview

Page 1-2

Connector Ports (TCUs) for connections to stations and other network

devices.

Figure 1-1. Front and Back Views of the STH-24

Up to four STH hubs can be linked to the same intelligent hub, bringing

the total direct connectivity potential to 120 managed TCU ports in the

stack. Intelligent hubs serve as the logical “top” of the stack and provide

full frame and error statistics for the collective stack, for each individual

device, and for each port. Hubs can be added to and removed from the

stack without powering-down any of the devices involved.

Cabletron’s HubSTACK Interconnect cables, Part Number 9380141, are

needed when stacking hubs.

The STH fully conforms to IEEE 802.5Token Ring speciﬁcations for

connectivity to Token Ring equipment. STH hubs offer:

• support for Cabletron Systems’ Automatic Beacon Recovery

Process (ABRP),

• Multiple Ring Out connectivity for Passive MAU workgroups,

• automatic speed fault protection,

• active ﬁltering, re-timing, and repeating circuitry on all ports,

• and LANVIEW LEDs for “at-a-glance” diagnostic monitoring.

The STH does not have management capability and is not intended to be

used as a stand-alone device. Management must be provided by a

Cabletron Systems intelligent hub, either the STHi Stackable Token Ring

Hub with Intelligence or the MicroMMAC intelligent hub.
