(NC554/8) Tektone 8 Port Network Switch

The NC554/8 8-port network switch and the NC554/5
5-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.
