NOTE
: If your transceiver provides an SQE (Signal Quality Error) test, then it
must be disabled.
3.
Connect workstations to the hub.
Prepare the workstations you want to network. Be sure they have
properly installed 10Base-T network interface cards, or external 10Base-
T transceivers.
Prepare straight-through twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 plugs at both
ends. The length of each cable should not exceed 100 meters.
Connect each computer to an available RJ-45 station port
on the hub using twisted-pair cable. Connect one end of the cable to the
RJ-45 port of the PC's network interface card and the other end to an
available station port on the hub. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure
the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Using the hub in a stand-alone configuration, you can network up to 16
workstations.
NOTE
: You can also connect a workstation to the AUI or BNC ports located on
hubs panel if required. However, be sure you use a proper transceiver when
connecting to these ports.
4.
Install the power cord and power on the hub.
Plug the power cord into the power socket at the rear of the hub. Then
connect one end of the cord to an electric outlet.
Power on the hub by pressing the power switch to ON. Check the LED
indicator marked
PWR
on the front panel. It should be on.
The hub automatically selects the setting that matches the input voltage
connected. Therefore, no additional adjustments are necessary when
connecting it to any input voltage within the range marked on the back
panel.
NOTE
: The hub supports a "hot remove" feature which lets you connect or
disconnect cables while the hub is powered on without disrupting operation.
