Front Panel 3 Design Features The Fast EtheRx dual-speed hub complies with the full set of repeater basic functions as defined by IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T, and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD standards. Repeater Functions If any single port senses the start of a valid packet on its receiving line, the dual-speed hub will re-transmit the received data to all other ports on the network. The re-transmission of packets complies with the IEEE 802.3 specification in terms of preamble s
