The hub detects all port connections, so you can
start using your network immediately. When you
need more ports, simply add more Office Connect
hub s.
If you are using port 8 to connect a workstation,
ensure the MDI/MDIX switch is set to MDIX.
If you do not use the 10BASE-2 (Coax) port, you do
not need to terminate it with a terminator (end
piece) .

Conne cti ng Office Connect H ubs Together
You can increase the number of workstations that
can connect to your network by adding more
OfficeConnect hubs. You can use either 10BASE-T or
10BASE-2 (Coax) to do this:
With 10BASE-2 (Coax) you can connect up to 30
hubs on a single segment, leaving all of the RJ45
ports free.
With 10BASE-T you can connect up to four hubs in
series.
CAUTION: Do not connect the same two hubs
together using both 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 (Coax).
This causes a network loop.
