Overview
The Netelligent 2724 and 2824 Dual-Speed hubs feature a 10Base-T and a
100Base-TX repeater in each unit connected by an internal two-port 10/100
Mb/s switch. Each of the hubs’ 24 RJ-45 ports automatically detects and adjusts
to 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s port connection speeds. This makes the hub a perfect
solution for networks migrating from 10 Mb/s to 100 Mb/s, allowing you to
move from 10 Mb/s to 100 Mb/s speeds on a port-by-port basis. The 100 Mb/s
repeater is a 100Base-TX Class I repeater.
The 2824 hub is a managing hub, which means it contains a built-in
management agent.
The 2724 hub is a manageable hub, which means it does not contain a
management agent but can be managed by a hub that does contain a
management agent (2624 or 2824 hub, provided they are running v2.0 or higher
management firmware). To be managed by a managing hub, the 2724 must be
connected to a managing hub’s connectors on its back panel. Up to five hubs
(one managing 2824 or 2624 and four manageable 2524 or 2724) can exist in a
single stack for a total of up to 125 ports (with SUMs installed).
