Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10/100Base-T Hub using a straight- through RJ-45 cable.
  • Page 13 The Ethernet Extender does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in. There are no user-serviceable parts in the LB200A modem. Fuse replacement should only be per- formed by qualified service personnel. Contact Black Box Technical support at (724) 746-5500 for more information.
