Connecting End Nodes - Planet DH-1600 User Manual

♦ Second -- you can connect the hub to another hub through
its expansion slot. The modules support a single or two
ports of 100Base-FX fibre-optic ST/SC interface and
shared with the last two port of DH-1600 and port#12,
port#24 of DH-2400. The installation is as section
"Connecting the Fiber-optic module (optional)".

Connecting End Nodes

LAN end nodes such as single-user computers, servers, bridges,
and routers must be connected to the 10/100Base-TX ports
using straight-wired high-grade (Category 5 unshielded or Type
1 shielded) twisted-pair cabling. (Category 3, Category 4 can
not be used for 100Base-TX)
♦ We recommend starting with the lower-numbered ports when
connecting to the Ethernet LAN. Connection to another hub
which does not have an "Uplink" port or a slide-switch, you
will have to use the "Uplink" port on the hub for the
connection.
♦ We also recommend making sure any end nodes are turned
off before plugging the cable in for the first time. If the plug
does not fit well and the node's LAN board is loose, forcible
insertion can momentarily break an internal contact and
damage the end node.
Following are step-by-step instructions for connecting an end
node to the hub using straight-wired twisted-pair cable.
1. Select a port on the hub
2. Plug one end of the cable into the node's RJ-45 port.
3. Plug the cable's other end into the selected RJ-45 port on the
