8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot
Ensuring Correct 10BaseT Configuration
The 10BaseT cable and RJ-45 connectors for Hub to Terminal
connections must be configured as straight through. The 10BaseT
cable and RJ-45 connectors for Hub to Hub connections must be
configured as crossover. NOTE: When installing the LANMaster T8
Hub using the MDI port, a crossover cable is not needed. The MDI
switch can be used to change the straight through configuration to
crossover at port 8.

BNC Connector/10Base2 Connection
The thinnet coaxial card (E-CX-SIC)
provides a BNC connector to 10Base2.
NOTE: Verify that coax cables on
LANMaster T8 are terminated properly
at both ends. (In a coax thinnet
installation, the first and last device in
a daisy-chain must be terminated with
a 50 ohm terminator.)
Additionally, the 10Base2 segment
must be grounded to “earth ground”.
Fiber Optic Connector/10BaseFL Connection
The fiber optic card (E-FRL-SIC) provides one set of transmit (TX)
and receive (RX) connectors to fiber optic cable.
The redundant fiber optic card (E-FL/RED-SIC) provides a back-up
fiber optic connection by providing two sets of transmit (TX) and
receive (RX) connectors to fiber optic cable.

The two active pairs
in a 10BaseT network
are pins 1 & 2 and
pins 3 & 6. Use only
dedicated wire pairs
(such as blue/white &
white/blue,
orange/white &
white/orange) for the
active pins.
