The AsantéHub should already be powered on and working
normally. The PWR LED will be on and the CPU LED will be
blinking each 2-3 seconds. If the SNMP option is installed, the
SNMP LED will also be on.
If host connections have been made and are in use, all other
LEDs may be active, since this AsantéHub is already operating
as a network. For details, see Chapter 2, “Hardware
Description,” Table 2-1, “LED Status Indications,” and Figure
2–1, “LED Status Indications, Normal Operation.”
For a description of the hub pre-test LED display, see “Step 2,
Power-Up and Pre-Test.”
2.
First lay the new cable segment from the end of the current
backbone to the new hub location, without making any
connections.
3.
Terminate the new cable segment. If necessary, add a
T-connector for the new hub.
4.
Working quickly, remove the terminator at the end of the
existing backbone, and replace it with the new (terminated)
cable segment. The push (or pull)/twist connectors make it
easy to remove and replace the physical connection within a
few seconds.
CAUTION: Ensure that the T-connector on the BNC port does
not touch the AUI connector. Make a firm connection to the
