100BASE-TX 8-Port Hub
2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The site for the LAN Master™ TX8 hub must provide:
•
AC power outlet for each hub
•
Adequate ventilation
•
Standard environmental conditions
•
Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters
and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical
lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.
Additionally:
•
The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit
with power line cables
•
Phone lines should be separated from data cables
•
Flat or “silver satin” wires should not be used.
And:
•
Since the LAN Master™ TX8 functions as an Ethernet
Repeater, the entire installation should comply with the IEEE
Ethernet 802.3 specification.
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
open and attempt to repair the LAN Master™ TX8
100BASE-TX 8-Port Hub. Failure to observe this warning
could result in personal injury or death from electrical
shock.
NOTE: Failure to observe the above warning will immediately void
the warranty.
Fault Isolation
If two network devices fail to communicate through the LAN
Master™ TX8, consider the following:
•
Are the LEDs described in the previous section functioning
properly?
•
Do network devices have Link Integrity enabled?
•
Do network devices communicate when the LAN Master™
TX8 is not installed between them?
•
Is flat or “silver satin” wire used in site internal wiring?
•
Are internal wiring patch cords, punch down blocks, and
wall jacks properly pinned or configured?
•
Are network interface cards properly configured?
