About Fast Ethernet  
As the demand for desktop video, multimedia development, imaging, and  
other speed-intensive applications continues to rise, the need for high per-  
formance, fault tolerant LAN technology will become more critical.  
Standard Ethernet, which has been the most popular networking technolo-  
gy to date with a maximum data throughput of 10 Megabits per second, is  
becoming insufficient to handle the latest video, multimedia, and other  
speed-intensive client/server LAN applications.  
Among the solutions to the problem of network speed, Fast Ethernet has  
emerged as the most viable and economical. Capable of sending and  
receiving data at 100 Megabits per second, it is more than fast enough to  
handle even the most demanding video and other real-time applications.  
Although there are a number of different competing Fast Ethernet imple-  
mentations, 100BaseTX is by far the most popular. Operating on two pairs  
of Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, 100BaseTX supports  
high speed signaling and is relatively inexpensive. Because it uses four  
wires for data transmission and the same packet format, packet length,  
error control, and management information as 10BaseT, 100BaseTX can  
be made to communicate with slower 10BaseT equipment when routed  
through a switch.  
This backward compatibility is one of 100BaseTX's major advantages  
over other forms of Fast Ethernet; it allows critical, speed-dependent net-  
work segments to be upgraded to 100BaseTX speeds as needed without re-  
wiring, refitting, and retraining an entire site. Networks can now mix both  
slow and fast network segments for different users or departments. Pub-  
lishing, R&D, video, multimedia, or accounting departments can enjoy a  
100Mbps pace, while other corporate segments can operate at slower and  
more affordable 10Mbps speeds.  
Every port on your Auto-Sensing Hub is capable of running at either  
10Mbps or 100Mbps, allowing you to mix and match economical 10BaseT  
hardware with high performance 100Mbps network cards, hubs, switches,  
and other equipment.

Planning Your Network  
The rules that govern how nodes and hubs are distributed across a network  
are important to ensure the integrity of your data. Cabling specifications,  
distance limits, and other topology rules must be followed in order to avoid  
collisions or data loss.  
The Auto-Sensing Hub is equipped with RJ-45 ports that can automatically  
adjust to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps speeds. Each port can operate at  
either speed, completely independent of the other ports’ speeds, and can be  
connected to a workstation, file server, print server, hub, or another node  
with twisted-pair cabling.  
Although there are different grades of cabling, you must use EIA 568  
Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for each connection you make,  
and each cable should not exceed 100 meters, (328 feet), in length. Fast  
Ethernet networks require Category 5 cabling. Category 5 cabling can be  
obtained at most computer stores, or you can crimp your own. See page 11  
for cabling specifications. Here are some important cabling rules to fol-  
low:  
· Computers should never be connected directly together on a network.  
They should always be connected to a hub.  
· Only two 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hubs can be cascaded, (or uplinked),  
together. To cascade more than 2 100Mbps hubs, a switch or a repeater  
must be used.  
· The maximum cable length from a node to a repeater, switch, or hub is  
100 meters (328 feet).  
· The maximum length for a Category 5 cable between a 100BaseTX or  
10BaseT workstation and a stackable or other shared bandwidth hub is  
100 meters (328 feet).  
· The maximum distance between 2 100BaseTX hubs without a switch is  
5 meters (16.4 feet).  
· The maximum distance between 2 10BaseT hubs, (or a 10BaseT hub and  
an Auto-Sensing hub), is 100 meters (328 feet).

Installing the Hub  
Carefully remove the hub from its packaging. Make sure that you received  
all of the items listed below. If any items are missing or damaged, contact  
your Linksys dealer for replacement part(s).  
· EtherFast 10/100 Auto-Sensing Hub  
· AC Power Adapter and/or a Power Cord, (with rackmount models)  
· User Guide and Registration Card  
If you purchased a rack mountable Auto-Sensing hub, your package also  
includes rack mounting hardware suitable for securing the hub in a stan-  
dard hub rack.  
Front and Back Panels  
The front of each Auto-Sensing Hub includes:  
· 10/100 RJ-45 ports that can be connected to workstations, computers, or  
file servers with straight-through category 5 cabling  
· an Uplink port that can be used for connecting to other hubs, switches, or  
routers with straight-through category 5 cabling (see pages 8-9 for more  
information about uplinking)  
· diagnostic LED indicators to help simplify network monitoring and trou-  
bleshooting (see below)

Optional Fiber Optic Expansion Module  
The Auto-Sensing 16 and 24-Port rack mountable hubs each come with a  
fiber optic expansion slot which accepts an optional 100BaseFX fiber  
optic module for connecting to high-speed fiber cabling. If you purchased  
an optional fiber optic expansion module, set it up by following the setup  
instructions included in the Appendix of this guide, (page 13).  
Mounting the Hub  
Each rack mountable hub is equipped with mounting holes that can be  
used to secure it in a stationary or movable 19” rack. If you purchased a  
rack mountable hub, use the rack mounting hardware that came with it to  
secure the hub in your rack. Follow the instructions that came with your  
rack for detailed mounting instructions.  
Connecting Nodes to the Auto-Sensing Hub  
The Auto-Sensing Hub can be connected to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps  
PCs, workstations, file servers, print servers, or other hardware. When  
powered up, each of the hubs 10/100 ports will automatically adjust to the  
proper speed, as determined by the speed of the hardware or node connect-  
ed to the port.  
Connect each of your PCs, workstations, file servers, print servers, or other  
network nodes to the Auto-Sensing Hub one by one. Each node should be  
connected to the hub with a straight-through, RJ-45, Category 5 cable.  
Each cable should be less than 100 meters (328 feet), in length. Ready-to-  
use network cables of various lengths can be purchased at most computer  
stores. If you wish to crimp your own cabling for custom sites or lengths,  
see page 11 for cabling specifications.  
When connecting a PC to a hub, either the computer or the hub must be  
powered OFF. If both the computer and the hub are turned on while the  
connection is completed, the network will act erratically and you must  
reset the hub (see page 10).  
If the Uplink port is in use (connected to another hub, etc.), the Auto-  
Sensing Hubs last port next to the Uplink port must remain empty and  
unused. As in most hubs, the Auto-Sensing Hubs Uplink port and the port  
adjacent to it are joined together inside the hub, and one cannot be used  
while the other is in use. If you have an 8-port auto-sensing hub, for exam-  
ple, port 8 cannot be used if the Uplink port is in use, and vice-versa.

Connecting the Auto-Sensing Hubs to Other Hubs,  
Switches, or Routers  
Like most hubs, the Auto-Sensing Hubs can be uplinked to 10Mbps or  
100Mbps hubs, stackable hubs, switches, or routers. The front of each hub  
has an Uplink port for this purpose.  
If you are connecting the hub to a Fast Ethernet hub, router, or switch,  
remember that Fast Ethernet rules only allow two hubs to be connected  
together, or cascaded, within a single repeater domain.  
To uplink the hub, simply connect a regular straight-through Category 5  
cable from the Auto-Sensing Hubs Uplink port to any regular network  
port on the hub, switch, or router being uplinked. The Auto-Sensing Hub  
will automatically determine the optimum speed of the device being  
attached to it.  
Remember that while the Uplink port is in use, the port adjacent to it must  
remain open, and should not be connected to any cable or node. See page 4  
for important limitations when cascading hubs.  
Uplinking the Hub

Uplinking the 5-Port Hub  
The EtherFast 5-Port Auto-Sensing Hub has a special switched uplink port  
with its own distance extension capabilities. If you are mixing 10Mbps  
and 100Mbps hardware on your 5-Port hub, the hub can be uplinked to  
other 100Mbps hubs at a distance of 5 meters (16.4 feet) -- just like other  
hubs.  
However, if all ports on your 5-Port Auto-Sensing hub are running at  
100Mbps, then the uplink port automatically becomes capable of sending  
data over an uplink cable of up to 100 meters (328 feet). The LED marked  
‘SW’ will light up, indicating that a 100 meter uplink can be established.  
Please note that in order for the distance extending switch to become  
active, all four remaining ports on your 5-Port hub must be running at  
100Mbps, (remember that one port on the hub is lost when the hub is  
uplinked). This feature is only present on the 5-Port Auto-Sensing hub. All  
other auto-sensing hubs can only be uplinked using 5 meter cables when  
connecting to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hubs.

Powering On the Hub  
Desktop Model  
The hub comes with both a power adapter and in some instances, an AC  
electrical cord. Plug the power adapters plug into the hubs power jack.  
Plug the provided AC electrical cord into the power adapter. Finally, plug  
the other end of the electrical cord into a standard AC electrical outlet. The  
hub will put itself through a series of diagnostic tests -- which shouldn’t  
take more than just a few seconds -- then begin scanning the ports for live  
nodes. The installation is complete.  
Rack Mountable Model  
To power on the hub, plug the supplied AC electrical power cord into the  
back of the hub. Turn on the hub. The hub will put itself through a series of  
diagnostic tests -- which shouldn’t take more than just a few seconds --  
then begin scanning the ports for live nodes. The installation is complete.  
Resetting the Hub  
To reset the hub, turn the unit off for at least three seconds and then turn it  
back on.  
If you have a rack mountable model, you can use the reset button in the  
back of the hub to run the reset power cycle. Use a small screwdriver or  
other pointy object that can fit through the hole on the back of the unit and  
reach the button. Hold the button for 2 or 3 seconds, then let go. The hub  
is reset.  
Note: If you power cycle the hub or hold down the reset button for too  
long, you may lose some connections.

Appendix  
Twisted Pair Cabling  
There are different grades, or categories, of twisted-pair cabling. Category  
5 is the most reliable and widely compatible, and is required for Fast  
Ethernet.  
You can buy Category 5 cabling that is pre-made, or you can cut and crimp  
your own. Category 5 cables can be purchased or crimped as either  
straight-through or crossed. A Category 5 cable has 8 thin, color-coded  
wires inside that run from one end of the cable to the other. Only wires 1,  
2, 3, and 6 are used by Ethernet networks. In a  
straight-through cable, wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at one  
end of the cable are also wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the  
other end. In a crossed cable, the order of the  
wires change from one end to the other: wire 1  
becomes 3, and 2 becomes 6 and vice versa.  
The color code for the 4 wires should be as follows: Wire 1, white with an  
orange stripe; Wire 2, orange; Wire 3, white with a green stripe; Wire 6,  
green. The other four wires have to be connected as follows: Wire 4, blue;  
Wire 5, white with a blue stripe; Wire7, white with a brown stripe, Wire  
8, brown.  
To figure out which wire is wire number 1, hold the  
cable so that the end of the plastic RJ-45 tip (the part that  
goes into a wall jack first) is facing away from you. Flip  
the clip so that the copper side faces up (the springy clip  
will now be parallel to the floor). When looking down on  
the coppers, wire 1 will be on the far left.

How To Install An Add-On Module  
Follow the following steps to install the add-on modules in the EtherFast  
10/100 Auto-Sensing Hub (EFAH16 or EFAH24).  
1. Power off the hub and remove the AC power cord from the hub.  
2. Remove all RJ-45 cables from the all the ports in the hub and if the hub  
is on a rack remove the hub from the rack  
3. Using a Philips screw driver, remove the screws holding the small cover  
panel on the back of the hub. The size of the panel is about 8.1cm by  
3.5cm (3.1" x 1.4"). You will need the screws to secure the add-on module  
later.  
4. Ground yourself properly and remove the add-on module from its pack-  
age.  
5. Hold the module so the chips and the components on the add-on module  
are facing up. If the module has a daughter board (a bigger board mounted  
on the main board of the add-on module), the bottom of the daughter board  
should be facing up. Insert the module into the back of the hub.  
6. The add-on module will slide in until it comes to a stop. Push the mod-  
ule to make sure it makes a proper connection. Note: Do not use too much  
force, you can bend the metal panel on the add-on module.  
7. Secure the module in place with the two screws.  
8. If used on a rack, mount the hub back on the rack. Reconnect the RJ-45  
cables and the AC Power cord. Note: do not connect any cables to the  
port(s) that will be used by the add-on Module (see page 14 to find which  
ports can't be used when using an add-on module).  
9. Connect your Fiber cable or RJ-45 cable to the add-on Module. Turn on  
the hub.

Fiber Optic Modules  
Six different Fiber Optic modules are available for the rack mountable  
Auto-Sensing hubs (EFAH16 and EFAH24):  
FFOSC1:  
FFOSC2:  
FFOST1:  
FFOST2:  
FFOSCDE1:

100BaseFX 2-Port Transceiver Module (ST)  
100BaseFX 1-Port Distance Extender Module (SC)  
100BaseFX 1-Port Distance Extender Module (ST)  
When a single port module is used on EFAH24, port 12 cannot be used. If  
used on the EFAH16, port 15 cannot be used. The module uses up one  
connection.  
When the dual port module is used on EFAH24, ports 12, 24, and uplink  
cannot be used. If used on the EFAH16, ports 15,16, and uplink cannot be  
used.  
Each Fiber port has two connectors, a transmit (TX) and a receive (RX).  
To connect two modules together, you must run a cable from the transmit  
connector on one module to the receive connector on the other. If you are  
looking at the back of the hub, the connector on the right is the receiver  
and the connector on the left is the transmitter. The connectors are also  
labeled on the top of the fiber port. These labels can not be seen after the  
module is installed, so make sure that you look before you slide it in.  
Each Distance Extender Modules has a switch on the back for Full Duplex  
or Half Duplex. The switch must be set to Half Duplex at all times, when  
connecting to another Distance Extender or a Transceiver module. The  
Link LED will light up when there is a connection made, and the Activity  
(ACT) LED will flicker while data is being transmitted or received.  
Each Port on the add-on modules has a corresponding jumper on the main  
board of the module. If the jumper is removed, the corresponding fiber  
port will become disabled and the correspodoning RJ-45 port on the front  
of the hub may be used. When the jumper is connecting the pins, the port  
is enabled, when the jumper is removed the port is disabled. The dual port  
transceiver module has two jumpers, one for each port.

A maximum of 2 Transceivers can be connected together in one segment.  
When two hubs are connected via Transceivers together, the same rule of  
cascading two 100Mb hubs applies to them. To cascade another hub to  
these two hubs (using RJ-45), a switch or repeater must be used.  
The Distance Extender is a switched port. This means another 100Mb hub  
can be cascaded (with RJ-45) to the hub that has a Distance Extender  
Module installed. Two Distance Extender modules can be connected togeth-  
er only at Half Duplex. Do NOT set either or both of the Distance  
Extender modules to Full Duplex. The Auto-Sensing hubs will not commu-  
nicate at Full Duplex.  
When using fiber the noise loss has to be calculated. Also, use the same  
type of fiber connector (SC or ST) for you fiber cables. If you are using  
ST-type connectors and you introduce an SC-type connector module, an SC  
to ST converter has to be obtained, or the ST connector may be replaced by  
an SC Connector (Note: Changing connectors has to be done professionally  
and proper tools have to be used. If you have never worked with fiber  
cabling, seek the help of a professional who is familiar with the medium).

to 208 meters (672 feet). The distance between the two hubs with tranceiver mod-  
ules is limited to a maximum of 16 meters (50 feet). For a full explanation of fiber  
optic cabling distance rules, see the chart on page 15. Note: In the illustration, no  
other 100Mbps hubs can be cascaded to hubs B and C with RJ-45 cabling.

100BaseTX Distance Extender Module  
This module has a special distance extending port that sends data at  
100Mbps over regular 100BaseTX Category 5 cabling. The distance exten-  
der module sends your data up to 100 meters (328 feet). This module is  
ideal for connecting to file servers or uplinking to remote hubs.  
This module is available for the Rack Mountable Auto-Sensing hubs, (No.:  
EFAH16, EFAH24):  
EFFETXDE: 100BaseTX Distance Extender Module (Single Port)  
When this module is used on the EFAH24, port 12 cannot be used. If the  
module is used on the EFAH16, port 15 cannot be used. The module uses  
up one connection on the hub, and thus one of the ports becomes disabled.  
These rules apply only to times when the module is in use.  
Up to four 100BaseTX hubs can be connected together when this module  
is used in an auto-sensing hub. Since the 100BaseTX Distance Extender  
module is a switched port, another 100BaseTX hub can be cascaded to the  
hub with the Distance Extender module installed in it. In addition, two  
100BaseTX hubs cascaded together can be connected to the 100BaseTX  
Distance Extender module. The usual Fast Ethernet distance limitation  
apply when cascading two 100Mbps hubs together, (see page 4 for details).  
The distance extender port on the add-on module can be disabled by  
removing the corresponding jumper on the module. In the Auto-Sensing  
hubs, this module can only be used in half duplex mode  
You need to use a crossover cable to connect the module to another hub. If  
you are using a straight-through cable, you must run the cable between the  
module and the uplink port on the second hub (see illustration on page 17).  
The modules Link LED will light up when a connection is made and the  
Activity (ACT) LED will flicker while data is being transmitted or  
received.
