HP ThinLAN Hub Plus, Technical Data
Part Number 28692A
The HP 28692A ThinLAN Hub Plus is a 10-Mbit/s multiport repeater used to
interconnect personal computers and other network devices over thin
coaxial cable local area networks (thinLANs) that comply with the IEEE
802.3 Type 10Base2 standard. The HP ThinLAN Hub Plus repeats data
received from an attached LAN segment to all other segments attached to
the other hub ports. The HP ThinLAN Hub Plus extends your network by
connecting thinLAN segments in a star topology. Attached to each thinLAN
segment can be hubs, bridges, and routers, or PCs and computers.
Coupled with HP OpenView Resource Manager, ThinLAN Hub Pluses are
capable of providing instrumentation-like functions across your network.
This will eliminate the need for a LAN analyzer per segment. HP EASE
(Embedded Advanced Sampling Environment) is a breakthrough technology
that allows HP EtherTwist devices to do protocol analyses. This will
identify top talkers, heavy users, errors, and communication pairs.
Features
o Provides nine thinLAN coaxial ports using BNC connectors and one AUI
port. The AUI port allows simultaneous connection to thin or thick
coaxial, fiber-optic, or twisted-pair cable via a transceiver.
o Is compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base2 standard.
o Supports 10-Mbit/s link speed.
o Supports both IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet.
o Provides cable fault detection.
o Isolates network faults by automatically segmenting ports disturbing
the network.
o Includes LEDs for a quick visual check of port status, collisions,
activity, and power.
o Provides console (RS-232) port, which allows users to read network
statistics and configure ports in the hub. This port connects to a
terminal or terminal emulator either directly or via a modem.
o Includes diagnostics for checking port functionality and loopback test
for troubleshooting cable problems.
o Is transparent to network operating system software.
o Supports SNMP/IP- and IPX-based network management. Specifically, the
hub can be managed from a central network management station using
HP OpenView Hub Manager (HP 28686D) or HP OpenView Interconnect
Manager/DOS (HP 27256D).
o Mounts in a standard 19-inch rack with cables facing front or back, on
a wall (flat or on end), or on any horizontal surface like a shelf or
table. Since the hub is only 31/2 inches high (two rack spaces), it
takes up very little space in any mounting configuration.
Functional Description
The HP ThinLAN Hub Plus is a multiport repeater. Data signals that come
into the hub from any of its ports are automatically regenerated and
transmitted to all the other hub ports. The hub regenerates the data
without interpreting the contents, so it can be used in either IEEE
802.3 or Ethernet networks and with any upper-level protocol.
The hub also performs collision detection. A collision occurs when
two or more network devices try to transmit at the same time. When the
hub detects this, it stops repeating either of the transmissions and
starts transmitting a jamming signal. The jamming signal tells the
6
transmitting devices that a collision has occurred. The colliding
devices then stop transmitting for a random amount of time before
attempting to retransmit the data. Once the collision condition is
removed, the hub stops transmitting the jamming signal, and normal
operation is restored.
The HP ThinLAN Hub Plus will automatically disable (autosegment) a
port if the port experiences excessive collisions (greater than 30
consecutive collisions). The port will automatically return to operation
if the excessive collision condition goes away.
