Introduction About This Guide Thank you for purchasing PLANET NOVA100 10/100Mbps Dual Speed Ethernet Hub – DHR-800/DHR-800P. Compact in size and lightweight, utilizing the latest VLSI technology to provide high reliability levels, the units provide a flexible approach to hub deployment.
10/100Mbps Dual Speed Ethernet Stackable Hub, complies with the IEEE802.3 10Base-T and IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX Class II standard. DHR-800P and DHR-800 are the same product series and can stack with each other. • DHR-800P is the 8-port Dual-Speed Ethernet Hub with internal switching module –...

• 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Cabling The twisted-pair cables used for traditional Ethernet and Fast Ethernet all look the same on the outside. Such cables, however, come in different grades and with different wire arrangement, and can have different kinds of sheathing. DHR-800/DHR-800P User's...

The kinds of cables that can be used with a 100Base-TX Class II Fast Ethernet hub are ♦ Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable, and ( Category 5 UTP) ♦ Type 1 shielded twisted-pair cable (Type 1 STP ) • 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Summary Be sure to remember the following rules about a 100Base-TX Class II Fast Ethernet hub: 1.
DHR-800P with switching function to bridge 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments. The DHR-800 series product can stack up each other, but in a stack only ONE DHR-800P primary hub is allowed. It means that in a stack you can have several DHR-800 hubs then all ports with dual-speed auto sensing function, but 10Base and 100Base segments can not link together.
label on front panel. The model number and character “Primary” is for DHR-800P. There are 8 RJ-45 jacks on the front panel. Each jack is labeled with a port number. All ports‘ Transmit and Receive lines are crossed within the hub (ie. 1-8 ports are MDI-X ports).
100Mbps though there is no connection. Please also refer to the module's guide for the LED status of the module. • Rear Panel On the rear panel there are power inlet, fans, expansion slot and stack connectors. The following describes the function of each connector and DHR-800/DHR-800P User's...
Fig 2.2 DHR-800/DHR-800P rear panel AC Power inlet The power cord should be plug into this socket. The AC power require 100~240VACm 50~60Hz auto-sensing power supply. Stack Connectors There are two DB-25 connectors at rear panel with same pin definition and function.
“Uplink” port or switch, you will have to use “Uplink” port on the hub for the connection. • We also recommend making sure the end node is turned off before plugging the cable in for the first time. If the plug does not fit well DHR-800/DHR-800P User's...

Make the connection as follows: 1. Power off the Hubs, remove the two screws of the expansion slot cover 2. Slide-in the modules into the slot with care 3. Secure the two screws to the hub. 4. Connect the connectors to the modules and power on the hub For more information about the modules, please refer to the Installation Guide of the modules.
