INTRODUCTION
The SuperStack™ II Hub 10 Telco (3C16672A) has two 12 port Telco
connectors on the front panel providing Ethernet TP port connections,
and an AUI port on the rear panel. The rear panel also has a slot for a
3Com Transceiver Module or Bridge MicroModule: if fitted the module
will operate in addition to the AUI port. A range of different media
Transceiver Modules is available from 3Com (see “Products and Bulletin
Boards”).
unit will be disabled during power-up until they are correctly configured
and enabled by management software. This is only necessary on units
which have ports assigned as standby. Standby ports in resilient link
pairs can only be configured on SuperStack II Hub 10 or LinkBuilder
FMS II units.
Security features are described in the manual which comes with your
Hub 10 Management Module.
The Hub 10 Telco can be stand-alone or linked with other Hub 10,
LinkBuilder FMS II, FMS, 10BT or 10BTi units to form a stack of units of
different media. Stacking units gives you the benefit of a higher port
count while the stack is still seen by the network as a single 802.3
repeater.
By disabling ports on boot up and enabling them with management
software, you provide extra security for your unit.
During the power up sequence, the main ports (on the front
panel) will be disabled, BUT the AUI and Transceiver Module
i
ports will be enabled for periods up to 1 second. During this
brief moment, the AUI and Transceiver Module ports will NOT
be secure.
The Hub 10 Telco is suited for use in the office where it can be
wall-mounted, rack-mounted, or free standing. Alternatively, the unit can
be rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. A mounting kit
is supplied.
Network Connections
The Hub 10 Telco has been designed for use with the majority of known
Telco connectors.
The Hub 10 Telco can be powered either from the AC mains supply, or
through an optional 3Com Redundant Power System (3C565047) to
provide a more reliable supply. Contact your local supplier for details.
Cable fixings have been supplied for holding the Telco cables to the
unit. There are locations for these fixings to the left of the Telco
connectors.
Repeater Functions
The Hub 10 Telco has been designed to conform to the IEEE 802.3
standard for Local Area Networks. The unit provides all the standard
functions of an 802.3 repeater, including:
In the unlikely event that your Telco connector will not connect fully to
the Hub 10 Telco, we recommend that you:

You can connect any 802.3 transceiver to the unit using an AUI cable
connected to the AUI port on the rear panel. Alternatively, you can fit
one of the 3Com Transceiver Modules or a Bridge MicroModule into the
Automatic partition/reconnection
Management
A SuperStack II Hub 10 Management Module (3C16630A) or Advanced
RMON Module (3C16632) can be fitted to the Hub 10 Telco to provide
full SNMP management, including statistics, resilient links and security
features. Only one Management Module or Advanced RMON Module is
required for each stack. Refer to the guides accompanying the module
for details on how to manage an Hub 10 unit or stack.
You can connect the Hub 10 Telco to any other 10Base-T unit using port
24, to form an inter-repeater link. You must switch port 24 to MDI to
bypass the internal cross-over normally implemented by 10Base-T unit

3COM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND EXAMINATION
DISCLOSE THAT THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT DOES NOT EXIST OR WAS
CAUSED BY CUSTOMER'S OR ANY THIRD PERSON'S MISUSE, NEGLECT, IMPROPER
INSTALLATION OR TESTING, UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR OR MODIFY, OR ANY
OTHER CAUSE BEYOND THE RANGE OF THE INTENDED USE, OR BY ACCIDENT, FIRE,
LIGHTNING, OR OTHER HAZARD.
3Com shall not be responsible for any software, firmware, information, or memory data
of Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 3Com
for repair, whether under warranty or not.
Limitation of Liability: TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW 3COM ALSO EXCLUDES
FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT OR TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR FOR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, LOSS OF
BUSINESS, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA, OR OTHER FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING OUT OF
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, USE, PERFORMANCE,
FAILURE, OR INTERRUPTION OF ITS PRODUCTS, EVEN IF 3COM OR ITS AUTHORIZED
RESELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND LIMITS ITS
LIABILITY TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID, AT
3COM'S OPTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED

Software: 3Com warrants that the software programs licensed from it will perform in
substantial conformance to the program specifications therefor for a period of ninety
(90) days from the date of purchase from 3Com or its Authorized Reseller. 3Com warrants
the media containing software against failure during the warranty period. No updates
are provided. 3Com's sole obligation with respect to this express warranty shall be (at
3Com's discretion) to refund the purchase price paid by Customer for any defective
software products, or to replace any defective media with software which substantially
conforms to 3Com's applicable published specifications. Customer assumes responsibility
for the selection of the appropriate applications program and associated reference
materials. 3Com makes no warranty or representation that its software products will
work in combination with any hardware or applications software products provided by
third parties, that the operation of the software products will be uninterrupted or error
free, or that all defects in the software products will be corrected. For any third party
products listed in the 3Com software product documentation or specifications as being
compatible, 3Com will make reasonable efforts to provide compatibility, except where
the non-compatibility is caused by a "bug" or defect in the third party's product.
Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied
warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages for certain products
supplied to consumers or the limitation of liability for personal injury, so the above
limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights which may vary depending on local law.
Governing Law: This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the state of
California.
