• 4 BNC ports
• 1 AUI port
• Local and remote management
• Expandable to 48 ports
• No single point of failure on expandable hub.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION :

The VES 8046 provides four Thinnet ports. A further AUI connector allows connection, via a transceiver, to thick wire (10BASE5), Thin Wire (10BASE2), UTP (10BASET) or fibre optic (FOIRL).

Local management is provided on the front panel to provide an eight channel display of link status plus AUI status. The link display is: , Port activity , Port Partition status
In addition ports can be forced into partition mode to disable unused or problem links.

The VES 8046 provides a repeater function and conforms to the requirements of IEEE 802.3 repeaters:
Fragment extension, Preamble reconstitution
Partition recovery on segment fault correction Data retiming
Auto – partitioning on segment fault.
Upto 12 VES 8046’s can be connected together by an external cable bus, to make a forty eight port hub which only has a repeater count of one. Other of the VES 8040 series multiport repeaters can be combined with the VES 8046 on the bus e.g. VES 8040 8 port UTP Hub & VES 8044 Thinnet 8 port repeater.

Each unit is allocated an address set up by the panel switches. This and all other status information is held in non volatile store.
