Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR™ Model FE116 Fast
Ethernet Hub. This hub delivers standards-based, plug-and-play networking
solutions for small businesses, home offices, and low-density workgroups of
larger companies.
Features
The Model FE116 hub has the following features:
• Sixteen IEEE 802.3-compliant 100BASE-T ports (sometimes referred to as
RJ-45 or network ports) that provide effective information exchange,
resource sharing, and a client/server or peer-to-peer applications solution
with simple unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring (The network ports on the
Model FE116 hub are referred to as vista RJ-45 network ports because they
have built-in LEDs that monitor individual port status.)
• Class II compliance, which enables network expansion by connecting two
hubs together
• Easy plug-and-play installation with no software to configure, thus saving
time and minimizing the potential for configuration errors
• Normal/Uplink push button to simplify network extension and for
connecting with other hubs (In the Uplink mode, two hubs can be daisychained using simple, straight-through UTP cables.)
• Automatic partitioning and reconnection of a port that has excessive
collisions or is jabbering
• Limited five-year warranty on the unit and one-year warranty on the power
supply
