CH-100 Internet Linking Hub

The CH-100 makes a perfect addition to the Catlink system by providing multiple connections. The CH-100 connects directly to a DSL or CABLE modem and supports up to ten Catlinks. It can be located anywhere a high-speed Internet connection is available. Digital control and audio packets received from one CL-100 Catlink will be forwarded to up to nine other Catlinks.

Hub Identification
The CH-100 does not have a voice synthesizer. However, if a Catlink interrogates the Hub, it will send a series of digital packets containing the Hub's identification and the identification of any Catlinks that are currently connected to the Hub.

User Approved Look-up Table
In normal mode any CL-100 Catlink knowing the IP address of the Hub can connect. If the CH-100 is operated in the controlled mode, only Catlinks having their IP address in the Hub's look-up table will be able to connect. If the CH-100 is operated in the constant connect mode in addition to the IP address the MAC address of the router must also be entered in the Look-Up table.

Selectable Port Settings
The CH-100 port number may be changed. This permits multiple Hubs to share the same IP address when they are connected to the same router.

CH-100 Automatic Controlled Operational Mode
If the CH-100 is used in a dedicated linking system it can be configured for an automatic connection. If Internet service is interrupted or there is a power failure, the CH-100 will automatically reconnect to any CL-100 having its IP and MAC addresses stored in the look-up table.

RS-232 Port Operation
The CH-100's RS-232 Port is used to assign the Hub's identification, IP, Mask and Gateway addresses.

CH-100 Front Panel Display Indicators
Four LED indicators display the CH-100 activity. The green POWER LED will light when +12VDC is supplied to the CH-100. The red HEARTBEAT LED will flash once a second to indicate the CH-100 is executing its program. The yellow CONNECT LED will light when the CH-100 is connected to a DSL or CABLE modem. The green ACTIVE LED will flash when data is being sent or received.
