Introduction
This chapter describes the features, indicators, and dip switch settings on
the ONline™ Ethernet 10BASE-T Module.
The ONline Ethernet 10BASE-T Module
The ONline™ Ethernet 10BASE-T Module is an eight-port IEEE 802.3
repeater module that complies with the 10BASE-T standard. This module
works with the 3Com ONline System Concentrator using both unshielded
and shielded twisted pair wiring. The ONline 10BASE-T Module provides the
following features and benefits:
❑ supports up to 150 meter link distances on 22 gauge wire, up to 125
meters on 24 gauge wire, and up to 100 meters on 26 gauge wire
❑ supports up to 200 meter link distance on IBM Type 1 cabling
❑ complies fully with the 10BASE-T standard
❑ features “hot swap” capability so that you can install or remove the
module without having to power down the concentrator
The 10BASE-T Module works with both unshielded and shielded twisted
pair wire. A single module can support any mix of shielded and unshielded
twisted pair connections. For example, ports 1, 2, and 6 can be unshielded
