Intelligent HUB (option)

Use the optional Intelligent HUB (HUB-3000) to connect gateway network or sensor
network. Do not use the HUB to connect a network other than shipboard LAN gateway
network or sensor network. Note that a commercial PC cannot be connected in this
network, other than for the maintenance.
Mounting considerations
When you select a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the adapter away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside
the cabinet.
• The vibration should be minimal.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Make sure that the ground wire is connected between the earth terminal on chassis
and the ship's earth.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the adapter is placed too close to the mag-
netic compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual to
prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
