Introduction Thank you for choosing the PLASTIC-PALM 10BASE-T Ethernet Hub. The hub was designed and manufactured to give you years of trouble-free and reliable service. The hub is designed for plug-and-play installation and easy management. The hub provides an Uplink connection for your network expansion via a RJ-45 connector, making it easy to link two or more hubs together.
9-port Ethernet Hub with BNC port 17-port Ethernet Hub with BNC port LED Indicators Power (PWR): Collision (COL): Link/Receive: (LINK/RX) This indicator lights green when the hub is receiving power, otherwise, it is off. This indicator indicates data collisions on the respective Ethernet segments of the hub.
BNC: Rear Panel Indicators Twisted-pair Jacks Use these jacks connect stations to the hub. These are MDI-X (Medium Dependent Interface, Cross-Wired) jacks, which means you can use ordinary stright-through twisted-pair cables to connect user mechines and servers to the hub through them. If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X jack, such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossver cable, or make the connection using the Uplink jack.
The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratches. Connecting the Power Adapter Power is supplied to the Ethernet Hub through an AC power adapter.
Cables and Connectors Cable characteristics: Category 3 or better unshielded twisted-pair or EIA/TIA-568 compliant, 100-ohm shielded twisted-pair data cable with 0.4 to 0.6 mm (22 to 26 AWG) wires in two or four twisted pairs (only two pairs--that is, four wires--are used for 10BASE-T ).
Crossover Cables When making an uplink connection between one hub and another (or between a hub and a switch or bridge) using X -type jacks at both ends, you must use a crossover cable. In a crossover cable, two pairs of wires are switched at one end. Carry out the following steps to create a crossover twisted-pair cable: Leave one end of the cable as-is, with the wiring on the...
