Quick Start
1. Turn off the power, then unscrew and remove the panel from an expansion slot on
the Express 10/100 Stackable Hub.
Expansion slots: Use either slot. They are
identical.
Turn off the power before installing.

3. Plug a device in and check the LEDs for a link. You’re done.
Solid green indicates link. Blinking

get a link, try the other port.
The LEDs light for both ports, even
though you can use only one port at
a time. This is normal.

Overview
This guide covers the Intel Express Stackable Hub Ethernet Module (product code EE110EM) and the
Intel Express Stackable Hub Fiber Module (product code EE110FX). The Ethernet Module supports
both the 10BASE-T Ethernet and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standards. The Fiber Module supports
the 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet standard.
The modules can be used only with the 12-port version of the 10/100 Stackable Hub (product code
EE110TX12). You can install either module in a hub running at 10 or 100 Mbps.

Ethernet Module
The Ethernet Module acts as a switch port plugged into an Express
10/100 Stackable Hub. The Ethernet Module
• bridges Express 10/100 Stackable Hubs running at 10 Mbps to
• connects Express10/100 Stackable Hubs running at 100 Mbps
• connects an Express10/100 Stackable Hub to another device at
Bridging 10 and 100 Mbps hubs
To bridge hubs of different speeds, simply plug an Ethernet Module
into an expansion slot on a 12-port hub (see “Quick Start” on page 1),
then connect to a hub running at the other speed. The Ethernet Module
bridges the two collision domains.

only.
Notes on bridging
1 You can insert the Ethernet Module into a hub running at 10 or
100 Mbps.
2 You don’t need to configure the speed or duplex mode.
3 Do not change the duplex mode to full-duplex.
4 If you’re using a straight-through TPE cable (standard cable), use
the MDI port on the Ethernet Module.
5
Connecting 100 Mbps hubs with TPE cable
Class I hubs, such as the Intel Express 10/100 Stackable Hub, cannot
be directly connected with TPE cable when running at 100 Mbps.
However, since the Ethernet Module acts as a switched port on a hub,
you can use it to connect to another 100 Mbps hub with TPE cable.
Each hub or hub stack is a separate collision domain.
NOTE
Using an Ethernet Module is
the only way you can connect
Express 10/100 Stackable
Hubs to each other with TPE
cable while operating at 100
Mbps.

Category 5 TPE (100 meters max.)
Because you’re connecting to a hub port, you cannot establish a fullduplex connection between the hubs.
You don’t need to configure the speed or duplex mode of the Ethernet
Module. Auto-negotiation will work for both settings.
Notes on connecting hubs running at 100 Mbps
1 Use only Intel Cascade Cable (product code EE110CC) to stack
hubs.
2 Never connect hubs operating at 100 Mbps with TPE cable unless
you use an Ethernet Module.
3 No configuration of the speed or duplex mode is needed.
4 Do not change the duplex mode to full-duplex.

NOTE
A long press is held for 2
seconds or more.
A short press is held for less
than 2 seconds.
Connecting to a device at full-duple x
Express 10/100 Stackable Hubs operate at half-duplex. The only way
to connect to a device at full-duplex is with an Ethernet Module.
Connecting to a switch at full-duplex
Not all device manufacturers implement auto-negotiation of duplex
mode. To ensure the Ethernet Module connects to the device at fullduplex, force the duplex mode to full-duplex.
To force the duplex mode, use the Change duplex button:
1 Long press the Change duplex button. The Auto-negotiate LED
blinks.
2 Short press the Change duplex button. The Full-duplex LED blinks.
3 Long press the Change duplex button. The Full-duplex LED stays
on solid.
4 Configure the device on the other end for full duplex. (See the
device’s documentation for specific instructions.)
To force the speed, follow the steps above using the Change speed
button.

EtherExpress™ PRO/100 LAN Adapter using CAT 5 TPE cable. Use
the MDI-X connector on the Ethernet Module.
You don’t need to configure the Ethernet Module or the LAN adapter
to establish a full-duplex connection at 100 Mbps. However, if you
don’t get a full-duplex connection at 100 Mbps, force the speed and
duplex on both the module and the adapter (see steps 1-4 on page 7).
Connecting to a 10 Mbps printer from a hub that is operating at 100 Mbps
To connect to a 10 Mbps-only printer through a 10 Mbps hub, use the
MDI connector on the Ethernet Module. To connect directly to a
10 Mbps print server, use the MDI-X connector.

Notes on connecting to a device at full-duplex
1 If you’re unsure of a device’s auto-negotiation capabilities, force
the duplex mode of the Ethernet Module to ensure you’ll get a fullduplex connection.
2 Your performance with a full-duplex connection will vary
depending on your network. If you have problems, it’s safest to
establish a half-duplex connection.

Change duplex button and LEDs
You can determine the Ethernet Module’s duplex configuration and
status from the duplex LEDs. Use the Change duplex button to cycle
among duplex modes.
Attach any Express 10/100 Stackable Hub to the Ethernet Module and
the module will automatically negotiate the correct duplex setting
(always half-duplex). The default duplex mode setting is autonegotiate.
LED Status Meaning
Auto-negotiate Solid Module is set to auto-negotiate the duplex mode.
Blinking Module is being forced to cycle among auto-negotiate,
half-duplex, and full-duplex.
Off Duplex mode has been forced to half or full-duplex.
Full-duplex Solid Module is in full-duplex mode.
Blinking Module is being forced to cycle among auto-negotiate,
half-duplex, and full-duplex.
Off Module is not in full-duplex mode.
Half-duplex Solid Module is in half-duplex mode.
Blinking Module is being forced to cycle among auto-negotiate,
half-duplex, and full-duplex.
Off Module is not in half-duplex mode.
NOTE
A long press is held for 2
seconds or more.
A short press is held for less
than 2 seconds.
10
To change the duplex mode
This example forces the duplex mode to full-duplex:
1 Long press the Change duplex button. The Auto-negotiate LED
will blink.
2 Short press the Change duplex button. The Full-duplex LED will
blink.
3 Long press the Change duplex button. The Full-duplex LED will
stay on solid.
NOTE
See the 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX LEDs on the hub
to determine the hub speed.
Change speed button and LEDs
You can determine the speed of the connection between the Ethernet
Module and device from the speed LEDs. Use the Change speed button
to cycle among speed settings.
Attach any Express 10/100 Stackable Hub to the Ethernet Module and
the module will automatically negotiate the correct speed. The default
speed setting is auto-negotiate.
LED Status Meaning
Auto-negotiate Solid Module is set to auto-negotiate the speed.
Blinking Module is being forced to cycle among auto-negotiate,
10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps.

The Fiber Module acts as a switched port plugged into an Express
10/100 Stackable Hub. The Fiber Module
• connects an Express 10/100 Stackable Hub running at 100 Mbps to
another hub or other device beyond the 100 meter limitation (up to
160 meters at half-duplex or 2 km at full-duplex).
• allows an Express 10/100 Stackable Hub to be connected at fullduplex to another device, such as another hub with a Fiber Module
installed or a switch.
Connecting hubs beyond 100 meters
The only way you can connect Express 10/100 Stackable hubs beyond
the 100 meter limit is with fiber optic cable and a Fiber Module
plugged into each of the hubs. You can plug the module into a hub
running at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. However, the fiber optic connection
will always be at 100 Mbps.

Connecting to a device at full-duple x
Not all device manufacturers implement auto-negotiation of duplex
mode. To ensure the Fiber Module connects to the device at fullduplex, force the duplex mode to full-duplex.
To force the duplex mode, use the Change duplex button:
1 Long press the Change duplex button. The Auto-negotiate LED
will blink.
2 Short press the Change duplex button. The Full-duplex LED will
blink.
3 Long press the Change duplex button. The Full-duplex LED will
stay on solid.
4 Configure the device on the other end for full-duplex. (See the
device’s documentation for specific instructions.)
Example configurations
The first example configuration shows the Fiber Module connecting to

Notes on connecting with fiber optic cable
1 Connect devices up to 160 m apart at half-duplex. Connect up to
2 km at full-duplex.
2 Insert the Fiber Module into a hub running at 10 or 100 Mbps.
However, the connection between the Fiber Module and the
connected device can only be 100 Mbps.
3 If you’re unsure of a device’s auto-negotiation capabilities, force
the duplex mode of the Fiber Module to ensure you’ll get a fullduplex connection.
4 Performance with a full-duplex connection varies depending on
your network. If you have problems, connect at half-duplex.
