NETGEAR DS508 - Hub - Stackable, Installation Manual, Page: 7 / 16

Model DS508/DS516/DS524 Dual Speed Stackable Hub Installation Guide
Rear Panel
The rear panel of a Model DS508, Model DS516, and Model DS524 hub has two LEDs, one
labeled Terminator and one labeled 10/100 Mbps Bridge. The Terminator LED indicates whether
or not the built-in terminator in that hub is active (the built-in terminator eliminates the need for an
external terminator). The 10/100 Mbps Bridge LED indicates which hub has the active bridge.
Before you begin installing the hubs, prepare the installation site. Make sure your operating
environment meets the operating environment requirements of the equipment.
