hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossver cable, or
make the connection using the Uplink jack.
Uplink Jack
The Uplink jack is an MDI-II jack, which means you can
connect the hub to an Ethernet device’s (i.e. Hub or Switch)
MDI-X port using straight-through cable.
Port1 and the Uplink port is really the same port, except their
pinouts are different.
Do not use both Port-1 (1X) and the
Uplink port at the same time.
When uplinking hubs together, please do not exceed the
“4-repeater (hub) count, 3 segments, and 2 populated
segments” Ethernet connection rule. Basically, you can only
uplink 4 hubs together using the UTP cable. The maximum
CAT3, 4, or 5 twisted pair cable distance between two Ethernet
devices is 100 meters. If you have question about this rule,
please contact our support department at
techsupport@trendware.com.
BNC Port (TE910 plus only)
To connect the 10Base-2 network, attach the thin coax cable’s
BNC “T Connector” to the BNC port. Terminate the open end
of the “T Connector” with a 50 Ohms Terminator. The coax
cable should be marked RG58U or RG58 A/U, the maximum
cable length between the two terminators is 185 meters, and
you can connect up to 30 nodes on this cable.
Power Jack
For connecting the External power adapter.
