Introduction
Thank you for choosing the LevelOne 5/8/9 Port 10Mbps
PalmCon Hub. The hub was designed and manufactured to
give you years of trouble-free and reliable service.
The hub is designed for plug-and-play installation and easy
management. The hub provides an Uplink connection for your
network expansion via a RJ-45 connector, making it easy to
link two or more hubs together.
The hub features LINK/RX LEDs to show the connection and
receive status of each twisted pair port. PWR and COL
indicators show the status of the hub as whole.
Product Features
üCompliance to IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T/2 standard.
üAutomatic paritioning function of each port to isolate
network failure.
üEthernet connections support Category 3 or better
twisted-pair cable.
üLED indicators for each twisted pair port for link and
receive reporting diangnosis.
üUplink jack for easy linking of two hubs to further expand
the network.
üCompact design in palm size.

LED Indicators
Power (PWR): This indicator lights gr
een when the hub
is receiving power, otherwise, it is off.
Collision (COL): This indicator indicates data collisions
on
the respective Ethernet
segments of the
hub. Whenever a collision is dete
cted, the
respective COL indicator will briefly
blink amber.
Link/Receive:
(LINK/RX)
This indicator green when the port is
connected to a Ethernet station
, If the
station to which the hub is connected is
powered off, or if
there is a problem with
the link, the LED
will remain off. And the
indicator blinking green when the data
will be received to all other connected
ports.
BNC: This indicator blinking green when the
data is transmitted.
Rear Panel Indicators
Twisted-pair Jacks
Use these jacks connect stations to the hub. These are MDI-X
(Medium Dependent Interface, Cross-Wired) jacks, which
means you can use ordinary stright-through twisted-pair cables
to connect user mechines and servers to the hub through them.
If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X jack,

5
such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a
crossver cable, or make the connection using the Uplink jack.
Uplink Jack
The Uplink jack is an MDI-II jack, which means you can
connect the hub (or a hub stack) to a device with an MDI-X
port using an ordinary straight-through cable, making a
crossover cable unnecessary.
Port1 and the Uplink port is really the same port, except thar
their pinouts are different. Do not use both Port-1 (1X) and
the Uplink port at the same time.
Power Jack
For the External power adapter.

Installation
Installing the Hub
The site where you install the hub may greatly affect
its performance. When installing, consider the
following pointers:
Install the hub in a fairly cool and dry place, for
the acceptable temperature and humidity operating
ranges.
Install the hub in a site free from strong
electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Leave at least 10 cm of space at the front and rear
of the hub for ventilation.
Install the hub on a sturdy, level surface that can
support its weight. When installing the hub on a
level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of
each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and
protect the hub case from scratches.
