Do not connect this network to the shipborne LAN network. Further, do not connect a
PC to this network, other than for maintenance.
Installation considerations
Keep in mind the following considerations when selecting a location.
• Locate the hub away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the
cabinet.
• Select a location where the vibration is minimal.
• Locate the hub away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Be sure to connect a ground (between the earth terminal on the hub and the ship’s
earth).
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the hub is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS to
prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
