The remote terminal may also be connected to a simple hub, for distribution to 
several computers in a local network configuration, as shown in Figure 9.  If the 
terminal is connected to simple, hub, then a cross-over cable is required.

Now connect the AC cord to the 120 VAC outlet and turn the terminal on using 
the toggle switch at the rear of the unit. The system “Pwr” LED should illuminate 
green to indicate proper power to the unit. If this LED is not on and/or the “Fault” 
LED illuminates red, then there is a problem with the unit. Refer to the 
diagnostics section, Section  7 on page  32, for further details on how to address 
system faults.  The system is now ready to be configured.
