100BASE-TX Uplink Module and 10/100 Downlink
Intel’s 100BASE-TX Uplink Module fits in the hub’s media adapter
slot and allows you to connect to 100BASE-TX devices, such as the
Express 10/100 Downlink. The Express 10/100 Downlink allows you
to connect to 10BASE-T devices.
100BASE-TX Uplink Module and 10/100 switching
hub
You can also use the 100BASE-TX Uplink Module to connect to a
10/100 switching hub. The switching hub then bridges the 10 Mbps and
100 Mbps segments
Routing server
If you’re using a NOS that supports multi-protocol routing, such as
Novell NetWare or Windows NT, you can use a routing server
equipped with a 100BASE-T4 NIC and a 10BASE-T NIC to bridge the
100BASE-T4 and 10BASE-T segments.
NOTE
Port 1 on a hub is disabled
when an uplink module is
installed.
