Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary view showing the front and left and right side surfaces of the hub according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an installation example of the hub according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to a switch hub having a plurality of data ports 11 on the main body 10 and capable of being cascaded with an uplink port 12. In particular, it meets the wiring standard using 8-pin modular jack and UTP 4-8 pair cable, and achieves the purpose of maximizing convenience of household residents by avoiding the concept of installing voice and data separately. The data port 11 supports the Ethernet transmission method as a conventional switch hub and is composed of eight (or 16) ports for connecting to the PC 60. In addition, it is possible to connect with other equipment by applying international standards of IEEE802.3 10BASE-T and IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX.

According to the present invention, a voice port 21 that can be connected to a telephone set 50, a fax, or the like in the household is provided in the same number as the data port 11. According to whether the data port 11 is 8P or 16P, the voice port 21 is equally provided. The former is available as input 1 / output 8 and the latter as input 1 / output 16.

In addition, according to the present invention is provided with a line port 22 for receiving the CO line 4P coming into the generation. Four main lines are composed of UTP 4-pair cable and connected to the line port 22. RJ45 CAT.5 8-pin Modular Jack is used to maintain the high speed.

In this way, it is possible to use the RJ-45 connection semi-permanently in one connection by using the RJ-45 connection like the existing hub connection method, instead of the 110BLOCK connection method constructed in the existing generation terminal. 16 lines) can be used freely at any position in the household. Due to the circuit configuration, many wirings are required on the board, so the top and bottom surfaces of the PCB are connected to each other.

Further, according to the present invention, the first LED 31 indicating the busy / line off in the on / off state is provided in equal numbers with the respective voice ports 21. The first LED 31, which is installed to distinguish the state of operation or failure by connection with a trunk line, is connected to a line when it is in an on state, and indicates that it is in a call when it is off.

In addition, according to the present invention, a second LED 32 indicating network connection / port passing / network blocking in an on / flashing / off state is provided in equal numbers with the data port 11. When the second LED 32 is on, it indicates that the port is connected to the proper network, and when it is blinking it indicates that transmission data is passing through the port, and when off, it indicates that the network connection is stopped.

In addition, according to the present invention, the third LED 33 indicating the data transmission rate in the on / off state is provided in the same number as the data port 11. The hub of the present invention can automatically detect data transmission rates of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, in which the second LED 32 is on in the former state and the second LED 32 is off in the latter state.

In addition, according to the present invention, the fourth LED 34 indicating full duplex mode / network collision / half duplex mode in the on / flashing / off state is provided in equal numbers with the data port 11. The hub of the present invention is capable of connecting full duplex mode and half duplex mode by an automatic sensing method. At this time, when the fourth LED 34 is on, it indicates connection in full duplex mode, and when it is blinking, it indicates network collision, and when off, it indicates connection in half duplex mode. Independent switching can be made to other ports to avoid network collisions, further increasing data rates.

In addition, according to the present invention, the selector switch 35 may be installed in the same number corresponding to the voice port 21 to switch trunk lines connected thereto. The voice port 21 is configured to support a total of eight (or sixteen) ports, and uses modular jacks collectively like the line port 22 described above. The telephone line of the trunk line coming from the line port 22 is connected to the selector switch 35 and enables the telephone of the number selected only 4 and 5 out of the 8 pins of the output terminal. When the trunk line is four lines, the number of selection switches 35 is four, and four numbers cannot be used at the same time but one can be freely selected one by one. Of course, it is possible to use the phone even when the power is turned off so that it can be used all the time while reducing noise by separating from the power supply.

At this time, the selection switch 35 of the main body 10 is protected by a removable cover 30 to prevent any operation. The cover 30 shields all the select switches 35 using engagement structures or bolts to prevent intentional operation of children and the like.

Meanwhile, FIG. 2 illustrates a connection using a LAN card in the PC 60, but a low-speed device such as a printer, joystick, mouse, keyboard, scanner, etc., having a data transfer rate of 12 Mbps or less, or a digital camera or video cassette tape having a data transfer rate of 100 Mbps or more. The same applies to high-speed devices such as recorders and optical disc players.

3 is a block diagram illustrating exemplary trunk line selection of the hub according to the present invention.

The selection switch 35 uses a method in which all other trunk lines are turned off at the moment of turning on one trunk line. This is a dip switch or a slide switch. As an example of the configuration for operation in each port, the first position of the selector switch 35 is the CO line 1, the second position is CO line 2, the third position is CO line 3, the fourth position is CO line 4 To indicate. The connector uses RJ-45, one-pair specifications to enable both regular telephone plugs (RJ-11) and RJ-45 plugs for CAT5.

At this time, to select the CO line 2 from the selector switch 35 of the specific port as shown in FIG. 3, the existing CO line selected at the moment is returned to the initial position, and the CO line 2 terminal is operated. In this way, the number of CO lines can be obtained and the choice can be freely changed in the room of the household. The changed state is easily determined through the above-described first LED 31.

In this way, all selection switches 35 operate individually per port, and the trunk line selection for each port can be duplicated. For example, if the CO line 1 is selected in both the port 1 and the port 2, the user of the port 1 and the user of the port 2 can simultaneously make calls on the same CO line.

On the other hand, the power supply circuit operates by lowering the AC power of 100 to 240V to DC3V so that it does not cause a problem of heat generation even in a long time operation or in an enclosed environment. The power supply circuit may use the same PCB as the voice circuit.

According to the above configuration and operation, the present invention has the effect of being able to manage telephone and data processing integrally with one device away from designing a generation in a separate configuration combining a conventional patch panel and a switch hub.

It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, such modifications or variations will have to belong to the claims of the present invention.
