SEHI OVERVIEW
 
The SEHI-22FL is an intelligent repeating hub providing front panel ports 
for network connections and a rear panel HubSTACK Interconnect Bus 
port for stackable connections. The SEHI is designed to manage the 
Cabletron Systems SEH series of non-intelligent stackable hubs.
The SEHI-22FL provides twelve 10BASE-FL ST-type fiber optic ports 
and one EPIM (Ethernet Port Interface Module) port.

SEHI FEATURES
 
This section provides detailed information about SEHI features and 
capabilities.
 
Repeater Functionality
 
The SEHI fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL specifications, 
and provides the flexibility to connect networks using IEEE 802.3, 
Ethernet Version 1 or Version 2 equipment. The SEHI transmits retimed 
data packets, regenerates the preamble, extends fragments, and arbitrates 
collisions.
The SEHI automatically partitions problem segments, and reconnects 
repaired segments to the network. This feature minimizes the impact on 
network operation resulting from a problem on one segment by isolating 
the problem segment. Only devices on the problem segment are affected. 
When the problem is solved, the SEHI automatically reconnects the 
isolated segment to the network.
 
FLASH EEPROMs
 
The SEHI uses FLASH EEPROMs that allow the downloading of new 
and updated firmware using Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM Element 
Manager/Windows or any device using BOOTP or TFTP protocols.
 
LANVIEW LEDs 
 
Cabletron Systems LANVIEW Status Monitoring and Diagnostics 
System is a troubleshooting tool that helps in diagnosing power failures, 
collisions, cable faults, and link problems. The LANVIEW LEDs are 
conveniently located on the SEHI front panel.
