Installation and Reference for the BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hubs
Connecting the Hub Through a RJ-45 Port
You can connect a BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hub to any device
that has a standard RJ-45 network interface port. To connect simple devices such
as workstations or servers, or more complex devices such as bridges or routers to
the hub, use a standard RJ-45 port.
To connect the hub to another device through a RJ-45 Port:
Make sure the devices you want to connect to contain 10BASE-T or
1.
100BASE-T network interface cards.
Obtain one straight through shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable
2.
(STP or UTP) with RJ-45 connectors at each end for each device.

•
•
Connect one RJ-45 connector of the cable to the network interface card
3.
of your device.
Connect the other RJ-45 connector of the cable to any available MDI-X,
4.
or normal, port on the hub.
By default, all ports on the BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hub
except port 1 are MDI-X. The RJ-45 ports support both 10 Mb/s and
100 Mb/s Ethernet connections.
Be sure the tab on each RJ-45 connector clicks securely into position.
5.
Warning: Do not connect a phone jack connector to a RJ-45 port. You may
damage the hub. Use only twisted pair Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors
that comply with FCC standards.
3-4
Use 100 Ohm Category 3, 4, or 5 cable for 10 Mb/s Ethernet connections.
Use 100 Ohm Category 5 cable for 100 Mb/s Ethernet connections.
Category 5 cable is recommended for all connections to avoid confusion
between cables, and to provide for easy future migration of all devices to
Fast Ethernet.
Each cable must be 100 meters long or less.
