Features • Five (NC554/5) or Eight (NC554/8) 10/100 Mbps capable 8P8C Ethernet ports • Compliant with IEEE 802.3 (10Base-T) and 802.3u (100Base-TX) standards • Wall mountable or desktop installation options • No configuration, Plug and Play installation Description The NC554/5 5-port network switch and the NC554/8 8-port network switch are used to create the TC400 Network. This network provides faster data transmission from the Tek-CARE®400 central equipment (CE) to NC402TS Master Stations, enabling some ancillary features that are too data intensive for just one CE connection. The network switches are used in these two scenarios: • Connect multiple NC402TS Master Stations, an NC470 Tek-BRIDGE™ PC, and/or a laptop computer to the single network port on the CE’s PM451 Hub Control Module. • Extend the cable distance from a NC402TS Master Station or NC470 Tek-BRIDGE™ PC to the PM451 Hub Control Module. Each Ethernet cable segment can be up to 328 feet (100 meters). Use multiple network switches between an NC402TS Master Station and the CE to extend the distance to a maximum of 1000 feet (305 meters). These Fast Ethernet switches automatically detect the type of network (auto negotiation) and type of cable (auto MDIX) and configure themselves, making for a Plug-andPlay networking solution. The NC554/5 5-Port Network Switch allows up to 4 Ethernet devices to connect to the PM451 Hub Control Module in the Tek-CARE®400 central equipment over the TC400 Network. The NC554/8 8-Port Network Switch allows up to 7 Ethernet devices to connect to the PM451 Hub Control Module in the Tek-CARE®400 central equipment over the TC400 Network.
