Prepare the installation site (page 2-4). Make sure that the physical
environment into which you will be installing the hub is properly prepared
including having the correct network cabling ready to connect to the hub,
and having a good location for the hub. Please see page 2-3 for some
installation precautions.
Verify that the hub passes self test (page 2-5). This is a simple process
of plugging the hub into a power source and observing that the LEDs on
the hub's front panel show correct operation.
Mount the hub (page 2-6). The hub can be mounted in a 19-inch telco
rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal surface.
Connect power to the hub (page 2-9). Once the hub is mounted, plug
it in to the nearby main power source.
Connect the network devices (page 2-10). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect other hubs, switches, routers, computers,
servers, printers, and other network devices to the hub ports.
Connect a console to the hub (optional on Hub 12M and Hub 24M
only—page 2-11). You may wish to modify the hub's configuration, for
example to configure an IP address on the hub so it can be managed using
a web browser, from an SNMP network management station, or through
a telnet session to the hub console. Configuration changes can be made
easily by using the included console cable to connect a PC to the hub's
console port.
