Linear H636 Owner's Manual

ChannelPlus Fast Ethernet Switch

The H636 10/100Base-T ethernet switch creates a home network

for two to five computers. “Plug and play” installation is easy when using the H628 data hub. The H636isfully IEEE802.3 compliant and has activity LEDs

Ethernet switches

are superior to ordinary Ethernet hubs in that they segment the data traffic. Computer A can talk to computer B while computers C and D also talk. Collisions are eliminated. Throughput is greatly enhanced.

will automatically detect 10 base-T or 100 base-T adaptors on a

port by port basis. The H636 will use the highest possible speed.

Using more than one hub

- Use only Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable.

- The cable length between two hubs cannot exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

- Additional hubs may be used as long as the path between any two network devices does not exceed four hubs and five cables.

- All hubs used must be powered.

Crossover cable

-A crossover cable exchanges the In and Out connections on one end. This will convert any standard port into a “link” port. Connecting two H636s or connecting an H636 to most firewalls will require using a crossover cable.

BLINK - Activity …

Data is being transmitted or received by this port.

- Use only Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable.

- When connecting to an H628 or a network device directly, use straight through RJ-45 cables.

- Each run to a network device should be less than 100 meters (328 feet).
