CHAPTER 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the LFH stackable 8-port or 16-

port Fast Ethernet Hub! The LFH8-S and LFH16-S are designed to give

you the ultimate in flexibility, ease-of-use, and reliability.

The LFH8-S and LFH16-S Stackable Fast Ethernet Hubs are 100BASE-

TX multiport Class II repeaters designed for use with networks using

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Category 5 cable or Shielded Twisted

Pair (STP) cable. The LFH hubs are simple to install, and feature

Link/Receive, Partition, and Utilization % LEDs for convenient moni-

toring of the status of the hub and of each port. The rear panel of each

LFH hub features two stacking ports, allowing up to six LFH stackable

hubs to be combined as a single repeater. For additional expansion, the

LFH8-S/ LFH16-S provides an uplink port that makes it easy to cascade

the hub to another Fast Ethernet hub or hub stack.

The LFH8-S/LFH16-S hubs can be placed on a table top or rack-

mounted, and provide the ideal solution for small to large 100BASE-TX

Fast Ethernet networks. The LFH hubs are designed to comply with the

IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard.

To insure network reliability, the LFH8-S and LFH16-S monitor each

port for signal quality and automatically disconnect stations transmit-

ting noise, reconnecting them when the problem is resolved. Data

packets that exceed the maximum legal length for IEEE802.3 Ethernet

packets are automatically truncated. This prevents a device from

blocking the network by transmitting a continuous data stream or

excessively long packet. The LFH hubs completely retime and restore

full-amplitude waveforms for each retransmitted packet. A full-length

preamble is also generated, insuring packet integrity across the

network.

ment rack

Chapter 2 Installing the LFH Hub

2.1 Packing Checklist

Your LFH package should contain the following:

✓An LFH8-S or LFH16-S Fast Stackable Hub

✓One AC Power Cable

✓One 25-pin cable for stacking LFH hubs

✓Mounting brackets and screws

✓Four self-adhesive standoffs

✓Rackmount brackets and screws

✓Installation Guide

If any of these items are missing, contact your dealer immediately.

2.2 Planning 100BASE-TX Networks

100BASE-TX networks need to be planned out slightly differently from

10BASE-T networks, because new hubs and new wiring configurations

are necessary. (10BASE-T hubs are incapable of sending or receiving data

at 100Mbps, so a 100BASE-TX network requires a 100BASE-TX hub.)

100BASE-TX supports a maximum length of 100 meters from a network

station to a hub. The total network diameter (the maximum cable

distance between any two stations on the network) is 205 meters for

100BASE-TX, as opposed to 500 meters for 10Mbps Ethernet. Because

100BASE-TX sends signals ten times faster than 10BASE-T, the collision

window (the time during which the network can detect a collision

between packets) is reduced to one-tenth the duration of the 10BASE-T

collision window, making the maximum network diameter smaller.

In a repeater environment, 100BASE-TX only allows a single layer of

cascaded hubs.

Switching hubs, such as LantronixÕs LSW8FA, may increase the

network diameter for 100BASE-TX networks by buffering data packets.

Each port can be connected to a separate LAN segment, each with a

maximum diameter of 205 meters, thereby increasing the overall

100BASE-TX network diameter.

Not only does 100BASE-TX have a different data transmission scheme,

it also has different cabling requirements. As noted above, 100BASE-TX

requires data-grade (Category 5) UTP cable.

Some installations have Category 5 cabling but do not have wall outlets

and wiring closet punch-down blocks that meet Category 5 require-

ments. 100BASE-TX requires that all wiring and accessories meet

EIA/TIA 568B specifications for proper operation. When wiring a

100BASE-TX network, make sure that the entire cable plant meets

specifications.

2.3 Installation

The LFH Stackable Fast Ethernet Hubs are easy to install and require

no special training. You should, however, read the following instruc-

tions carefully before proceeding to install your hub. Figures 2-1 and

2-2 show the layout of the front panels.

The LFH Stackable Fast Ethernet Hubs were designed for easy Òplug

and playÓ installation. Before you connect the LFH to other devices,

there are several issues you should keep in mind:

▼When connecting the LFH to a workstation using unshielded

twisted pair cable, you must make sure that the cable length is not

greater than 100 meters

▼When you connect two LFH Fast Ethernet hubs or hub stacks

together, you must make sure that the link between them is no longer

than 5 meters

▼Network cable segments can be connected to or disconnected from

the LFH hub while the power is on. Plugging in or removing

network cables while your hub is operating will not interrupt the

operation of the hub

▼When placing your LFH hub, you need to avoid dusty locations and

electromagnetically noisy areas

2.4 Mounting

Your LFH8-S or LFH16-S hub is delivered with two brackets for

mounting the hub in an EIA standard 19 inch rack. Secure the

mounting brackets onto the sides of the hub, fastening them with

screws as shown in Figure 2-3.

If your site uses only a few hubs and is not equipped with a mounting

rack, you may choose to place the LFH hub on a table or wiring closet

shelf. In this case, use the four self-adhesive rubber feet, which are

provided with the hub for cushioning purposes. Stick them at the four

corners of the bottom surface of the hub to cushion it against vibration.

2.5 Stacking LFH8-S/LFH16-S Hubs

You can stack up to six LFH8-S/LFH16-S hubs together using the

special connectors on the back panel. A single stack can contain a

mixture of 8-port and 16-port hubs. The maximum allowable any of

LFH8-S and LFH16-S hubs in a stack are 6 hubs.

When the LFH hubs are stacked together they are counted as a single

Fast Ethernet repeater, and the entire stack can be chained as a unit to

another Class II hub or hub stack.

To stack two LFH8-S/LFH16-S hubs together (see Figure 2-4):

1. Position the LFH hubs with one on top of the other.

2. Connect one end of the stacking cable to either one of the connectors

on the rear of the LFH hub. Make sure the cable snaps firmly onto

the connector.

3. Connect the other end of the stacking cable to either one of the

connectors on the other LFH hub.
