BOUT UIDE This manual provide all the information you need of how to install and operate AOpen SOHO 10/100M Fast Ethernet Hub (AOH-605/AOH-608). Overview Chapter 1, Introduction. Describes the AOpen SOHO Hub and its features. Chapter 2, Hardware Description. Explains the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Hub.
10/100Mbps hub, located on the front panel. Each port supports NWAY function. With its compact size, lightweight and sleek design, the AOpen SOHO Hub can easily be placed on a desktop installed. Furthermore, provides Power/Collision/100M and Link/Activity LED indicators for simplified management.
connections. LED indicators for power, 10Mbps collision, 100Mbps collision, 10M Link/Activity, 100M Link/Activity and expansion port full-duplex status. Bridge Uplink port for easy expansion, which supports uplink distance up to 100 meters. External AC power adapter. ARDWARE ESCRIPTION This section identifies all the major external components of the hub.
Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the Hub. AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub LED Indicator Panel Refer to the LED Indicator section for detailed information about each of the hub’...
Rear Panel AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage.
MDI-X port using an ordinary straight-through cable. LED Indicators AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub Power Indicator (PWR) When this indicator lights green, the hub is receiving power, otherwise.

When this indicator lights green, the expansion switch port active on full-duplex mode. 100M Collision (COL 100M) This indicator indicates there is data collisions on the respective 100Mbps Fast Ethernet segments of the hub. Whenever a collision is detected, this COL 100M indicator will briefly blink amber.

receiving/sending from the network and is processed by the hub. If the LED does not light on, It means the cable link is not established or the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet card or hub.
AKING ONNECTIONS This chapter discusses how to connect end nodes, and uplink two hubs together. Connecting to computers After the hub is properly installed, it can support up to five/eight computers. 1. Insert one end of the UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Category 5 cable into the RJ-45 connector that is numbered from 1 to 8 of AOH-608 (or 1 to 5 of AOH- 605).
Note. Crossover cable is not necessary in establishing uplink connection through uplink port. It is important to know that the uplink port of AOpen SOHO Hub with a SWITCH port. You can use this uplink port connect two hubs together with maximum distance up to 100 meters.
