Ethernet Ports
The SwitcHub has 2 logical RJ-45 Ethernet ports
–
one MDI-X port for
connecting to a workstation or server and one MDI port for connecting to
another network interconnection device, such as a hub or switch. When using
Fast Ethernet, these ports can also be connected to devices such as a high-speed
server or Ethernet backbone. Use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect
to any of the switching ports.
Note: Either the Port 1 or Port 2 MDI port can be used as a daisy-chain port to connect
the switching hub to other compatible hubs using straight-through twisted-pair cable
.
Power Socket
The power socket accepts AC power from 100 to 240V at 50 to 60Hz. The unit
is equipped with a universal full-range power source.
