CHAPTER 1
Overview
The FastHub 116T is an unmanaged 16-port 100BaseT Class II repeater for workgroups
and server farms. It is a member of an extended network system of stackable, modular LAN
and WAN products that increase LAN performance, connect remote offices and users, and
provide secure access. Figure 1-1 shows the network system units.

Front Panel Description SYSTEM LED The system status LED shows whether the FastHub is powered up and provides an indication of any problem with the main system board of the FastHub (see Table 1-3). Note The system status LED and RPS LED are used together to isolate internal power supply or RPS problems. See the “Verifying and Troubleshooting Your Installation” section in the “Installing the FastHub” chapter for detailed information. Table 1-3 SYSTEM LED Description Color System Status Off FastHu

Front Panel Description UTL Mode In utilization mode, bandwidth usage is shown for the FastHub. The port LEDs show the current bandwidth and the peak bandwidth usage that occurred since the last reset. The far-right solid green LED denotes the peak bandwidth that was recorded since the last reset. All LEDs to the left of the solid green LED operate in a scalable pattern, flashing green from left to right, to show the current bandwidth utilization. Table 1-6 lists the port LEDs and the bandwidth a
