Install the Hub
To install your hub on a flat surface, you do not need any special tools. Be sure the hub is
positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation.
To install the hub on a wall, measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the
hub and mark the wall to match the location of the mounting holes on the device. At the marked
location, screw into the wall the two screws that you received with the mounting kit included in
your package contents. Be sure to choose a location that is near the devices to be connected, is
close to an electrical outlet, and provides at least 2 inches of space all around the hub for
ventilation.
Connect Devices to the Hub
Before connecting the hub, be sure you review "Applications" for information about determining
the appropriate configuration for your networking needs.
To connect the hub:
1.
Connect the devices to the 10/100 Mbps ports on the hub, using Category 5 UTP cable
with an RJ-45 plug.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between your PC or server and
the hub to 328 feet (100 meters) in length.
2.
Set the Normal/Uplink push button.
3.
Connect one end of the DC power adapter cable to the power outlet on the rear panel of
the hub and the other end of the power adapter cable to the wall outlet.
