HP 10Base-T Hub-16M (J3188A)
The HP 10Base-T Hub-16M (J3188A) is a multiport repeater with 16 twisted-
pair ports, and one AUI port. With this hub, you can connect computers,
printers, and servers together for file sharing. This hub is compliant with the
IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T standard and supports both 802.3 and Ethernet
networks. The HP Hub-16M follows these two standards by providing these
features:
■ lighting the hub’s port LED when it detects the connected device is
powered on and cable is good.
■ retransmitting data that did not successfully arrive at the destination
device (collision detection).
■ temporarily disabling a port if a device connected to the port persistently
causes problems for the network (auto-partioning).
