The lights on the front panel indicate the status of the hub,
including activity for each port, any detected collisions, and
whether the hub is receiving power.
Power: A green light
indicates that
the hub is
receiving
power.
Collision: An amber light
indicates that a collision
has been detected.
Link/Activity: A stable green light indicates that a 10mb link
pulse has been detected. A blinking green light
indicates data transmission activity on the port.
Rear Panel
Power Port
Insert the power plug
into the power port.
Uplink Switch
Set the switch to Uplink when connecting Port 1 to another
hub. Set the switch to Normal when connecting Port 1 to a
network device such as a printer or computer.
10Base-T Ethernet Ports
Your hub has 4, 5 or 8 RJ-45 ports to connect to network
devices. Port 1 can also be connected to another hub with a
10Base-T cable when the uplink switch is set to Uplink.

Installing the Ethernet Hub
Caution: Using an AC power adapter with incorrect voltage or
polarity may damage your Starlet Ethernet Hub. Make sure you
are using the correct power adapter before you connect the hub.
10Base-T Network Device to Hub Connection
To connect 10Base-T Ethernet network devices to your hub:
• Make sure the Port 1 uplink
switch is set to Normal.
• Use standard 10Base-T cables
(category 3 or 5) to connect
the Ethernet port of each
network device to a port on the
hub.
Interconnecting Hubs
To connect a second hub using a standard 10Base-T cable:
• Set the Port 1 uplink switch on
the primary hub to Uplink.
• Use a standard 10Base-T
cable (category 3 or 5) to
connect Port 1 on the primary
hub to any normal port on the
secondary hub.
• Make sure that the port you
connect to on the secondary
hub is not set to Uplink. (If you
connect to Port 1 on a Starlet
Ethernet Hub, set the uplink
switch to Normal.)
• You can connect up to four
hubs using standard 10Base-T
cables.

• Assicurarsi che l’interruttore
della porta 1 sia impostato su
Normal .
• Usare dei cavi 10Base-T
standard (categorie 3 o 5) per
connettere la porta Ethernet di
ogni dispositivo di rete alla
porta dell’hub.
Interconnessione di hub
Per connettere un secondo hub usando un cavo 10Base-T standard:
• Impostare l’interruttore della
porta 1 dell’hub primario su
Uplink .
• Usare un cavo 10Base-T
standard (categoria 3 o 5) per
connettere la porta 1 dell’hub
primario ad una qualsiasi porta
normale dell’hub secondario.
• Assicurarsi che la porta dell’hub
secondario a cui ci si connette
non sia impostata su Uplink . (Se
ci si connette alla porta 1 dell’hub
Ethernet Starlet, impostare
l’interruttore su Normal ).
• È possibile connettersi con fino
a quattro hub usando cavi
10Base-T standard.
