A: Basic Installation
1. Place the hub on a smooth, horizontal surface.
2. Establish network connection by plugging one end of the Category 5 UTP/STP cable
RJ-45 connector into the hub port, the other end to the Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
adapter installed in the workstation computer.
3. Connect each device by repeating step 2 .
4. Ensure that each device is connected properly. Turn on the power by attaching the
power cable to the hub and plug in the power outlet.
Attention: Be sure to use Category 5 UTP/STP cable in connecting 100Mbps network
devices. The cable length shall not exceed 100 meters.
B: Uplink Connection
1. Set the Uplink switch to “Uplink” position.
2. Plug one end of the Category 5 UTP/STP cable RJ-45 connector into the Uplink port
of the first hub.
3. Plug the other end into an ordinary port on the second hub.
Attention:
I. Crossover cable is not necessary in establishing uplink connection through uplink
port.
II. The uplink cable length shall not exceed 5 meters.
