Acer ALH-608ds Manual De Usuario

Congratulations on your purchase of the AcerHub 608ds.  The AcerHub ALH-

608ds is a 8-port dual-speed fast Ethernet repeater hub for connection with

multiple PCs to a workgroup LAN (Local Area Network) environment to share

network resources. 

AcerHub ALH-608ds provides high-speed and easy access to the LAN and

Intranet both for SOHO (Small Office/ Home Office) and corporations.  It

allows data transmission at speeds of 10 Mbps or 100Mbps, depending if the

connected device is running at 10Mbps or 100Mbps. Besides the high-speed

data access, the AcerHub ALH-608ds also supports one uplink port for Class-

II cascading connection between hub stacks. The uplink port will support the

bridge function that permits a distance of 100 meters for data transmission in

Class-II cascading and eliminates the repeater count limitation in IEEE 802.3u

specifications. It will be easy to construct your own LAN with ALH-608ds by

this explicit expanding capability of data transmitting distances and user

accounts. 

Installation of AcerHub ALH-608ds is relatively simple and all you have to do

is plug the cables from the adapter cards to the ports, check the LEDs and

you can start networking. 

AcerHub ALH-608ds provides the following features:

• 8-port dual-speed hub, each port is a 10/100 Mbps dual-speed connection 

with network speed auto-detection

• Fully complies with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u specifications

• Built-in switching function to connect 10 and 100Mbps network 

domains

• Stackable function to provide maximum stacking of 5 sets as a single hub 

count by SCSI-II cables

• In slave hub mode, an uplink port with bridge function which provides 

scalable network expansion.(This function is very useful in constructing a
