2.3 Applications
Expanding from one to multiple ports at an existing site is easy, and
requires no modification to typical building wiring. Simply plug the
existing networked device’s network-cable segment into one of the Stackable
MiniHub’s front-mounted RJ-45ports. With the MiniHub’s rear-mounted Up-
Link switch set to “
=
x
=
”, run 10BASE-T cable from the existing network outlet
to the MiniHub’s 8th port. Then plug the DC power cord of the MiniHub’s
external power supply into the MiniHub’s power jack, plug in the power
supply’s transformer, and there you are: In minutes, you have added eight
new ports for other networked devices (see the illustration below).
