Jacks:
use ordinary straight -through twisted-pair cables to
connect user machines and servers to the hub
through them.
If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X
jack, such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you
should use a crossover cable, or make the
connection using the MDI-X jack (described below).
For more information about crossover connections.
Uplink
Jack
(MDI -II):
Use this jack to connect stations to the hub. This is
MDI-II (Medium -dependent Interface, straight-wired)
jack, which means you can connect the hub to a
device with a MDI-X port using an ordinary
straight-through cable, making a crossover cable
unnecessary.
Note:
1. The Hub is a power-required device, it means, the Hub
will not work until it is powered. If your networked PCs
will need to transmit data all the time, please consider
use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your Hub.
It will prevent you from network data loss.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device
may also help to protect your Hub from being damaged
by unregulated surge or current to the Hub or the power
adapter.
