Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use an off-the-shelf Ethernet switch or hub?

Aviom Frequently Asked Questions
No, because Ethernet switches and hubs need Ethernet data. They would also add a lot of latency (or delay) to a Pro16 system. For parallel (or "star") connections, use the A-16D or A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor. Links:

Q: What are the differences between an Ethernet switch and a hub?

Frequently Asked Questions for Gigafast Brand Switches
A switch has chips to store MAC addresses of the connected clients. Hubs do not. Therefore a switch can send packets directly to the intended computer based upon the header of the packets. Hub is different, when hub receives packets, it will broadcast packets to all the clients that are connected and that costs traffic. A switch is more efficient than a hub.

Where can I get an Ethernet hub?

AT&T Digital Subscriber Line: FAQs: Equipment Options FA...
Ethernet hubs can be purchased at your local computer store. AT&T does not provide installation support for Ethernet hubs.

Can I just plug the EthIR Beam into my own Ethernet hub without your EthIR Switch?

CSI Technical F.A.Q.
No. An EthIR Beam receives infrared frames from an infrared device and delivers these to the EthIR Switch. The EthIR Switch then translates these infrared frames to Ethernet frames (and vice-versa) forwarding and receiving frames to and from an Ethernet network. An Ethernet hub cannot translate infrared frames. That is the purpose of the EthIR Switch.

Can I use a hub or switch to connect more than one computer?

ResNet: Network, Telephone and Television Support
Only the computer which has been registered with ResNet will be able to access the network outside your room. The remaining computers will not be able to communicate with resources outside your residence hall. Using a hub or switch can potentially cause your port to stop responding to all traffic.

What is Switch Hub?

FAQ's
A switching hub can be considered to represent a multiple-port bridge, with a complicated internal bus that allows full cross-point switching. Such a hub has low latency packet delay and allow several conversations simultaneously. It has larger bandwidth than hubs.

Can I connect my computer to an Ethernet hub?

Qwest Choice | FAQs
Yes. SELECT customers may have up to four computers connected simultaneously. However, CLASSIC customers may only have one computer connected to the network at a time. Yes, with Choice OnLine you can surf the Net and simultaneously make phone calls or watch TV. To use a fax machine or dial-up modem while surfing the Net, you must have a normal phone line available. Your computer will not allow you to use our Choice OnLine service and dial-up to another Internet service simultaneously.

Can I use my own router/hub/switch to split the Sierra Advantage connection?

Sierra Advantage Wireless Broadband -- 1-877-EDC-WISP / FAQ'...
Yes, any router/hub/switch will work with our system. Please call Sierra Advantage support for router settings.

Can I use off-the-shelf Ethernet switches or hubs with A-Net systems?

Aviom Frequently Asked Questions
No. Ethernet switches are designed to manage data collisions from different devices and can add significant delay to a system. Aviom's Pro16 A-Net Distributors and Pro64 Merger Hubs allow parallel (or "star") connections without the loss of performance associated with an Ethernet hub. Links:

When do I need a hub, a switch or a router?

Fast ADSL
The router allows you to make a connection between your network and ADSL, so that more than one computer in your LAN can access the Internet. Certain models may give you further options such as security (firewall). A hub is the point of connection for the router and the computer to connect to the network. A switch acts like a hub but allocates an independent bandwidth to each user. This means the data transfer speed will not be decreased by additional users.

Q7. What is the difference between a hub and a switch?

Computer Network Designing computer networking Supply Networ...
The final piece you need to put your network design together is a hub. It is used to gather groups of PCs together at a central location. The switch is actually a higher-performance alternative to a hub.

How do I connect a Fast Ethernet hub to a 10Base-T hub?

ProCurve Networking by HP - Support - FAQs
The HP Advancestack 100Base-T Hub-8txe and the ProCurve Networking by HP 100Base-T Hub 8 can only be directly connected to another Class II 100Base-T hub or to a switch. To connect them to a 10Base-T hub, either use a switch in between, or connect them to the ProCurve Networking by HP 10/100 Hub 12 or 12m or ProCurve Networking by HP 10/100 Hub 24 or 24m which are both Class II hubs that autosense the speed of each port to be either 10Mbps or 100Mbps.

Basics: Where can I find a hub/switch/router?

Unofficial Xbox FAQ
Any electronics store that sells computers will sell hubs, switches, and routers. Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, Radio Shack, Fry's - any of these is fine. If you go in and ask for a "networking hub", a "networking switch", or a "cable/DSL router", the pimply-faced saleskid will show you where they are. (I was a pimply-faced saleskid once, so I'm allowed to joke.)

What is Dual-Speed Hub with switch port?

FAQ's
This kind of Dual-Speed Hub has one switch port built-in inside. It allows 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connected with this hub and able to communicate each other simultaneously.

When do I use the Boost Switch?

Eagle Research LLC | Bruce Taylor CEO | Frequently Asked Que...
Any time you are making a remedy from what we refer to as Source Material (blood, urine, foods, rose petals, etc.), you use Boost. In this position the instrument works about four time harder to gather the data from these materials. If you mistakenly use Boost when making a remedy it may still work, but probably not as well as selecting the Copy position on this switch. Back to Top | Back to FAQ

What switch is suggested for a Gigabit Ethernet application and why?

Pericom - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - By Product Fam...
The PI3L301D is suggested for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The PI3L301D has the lowest combination of both R-on and C-on in the LAN switch market, resulting in lowest return-loss which exceeds the requirement for the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit PHY conformance tests spec.

What is The HUB?

SJC: Admission: Visit Us
Halleck Undergraduate Bistro, also known as The HUB, is located adjacent to the Cafeteria in Halleck Student Center. The HUB offers students a relaxing atmosphere in which they can enjoy a variety of sandwiches, salads, beverages, snacks, "Sub Connection" subs, "Freshens" frozen fruit smoothies and ice creams, and "Pretzel Logic" gourmet soft pretzels.

What responsibility does an operator have if it chooses to use an 'off-the-shelf' OQ program?

Frequently Asked Questions
operator choosing to use an 'off-the-shelf' OQ program (e.g., MEA, Northeast Gas Association, and Consortium on Operator Qualification/NCCER) is still fully responsible to understand and meet the provisions of the OQ Rule. For example, the operator must make sure that tasks performed in its unique operating environment by its employees or contractors are evaluated to determine whether they are covered or not.

Can I use my own Ethernet card?

Qwest Choice | FAQs
If you have a NIC (Ethernet card) and it is approved to work with our network (approval is performed by our installer) you may use the card and will receive a $20.00 discount on your Installation cost.

What network cable do I need (do I need Hub or Switch) ?

FAQ Ethernaude (English)
In the case of an indirect connexion between the camera and your computer with a right calbe, it's better to use a SWITCH rather than a HUB. In fact, on a HUB, the frequency band is divided between all the ports, even though it is the same (and maximum) on all ports with a SWITCH. In local department store we can find a NETGEAR kit with one SWITCH100 / 5 ports, two PCI cards 10/100 et two right cables for 119 Euros (it's very interesting and that's work very fine).
