EtherHub-16
Smart Ethernet Hub with 16 RJ-45 Ports and 2 AUI/BNC Ports
This 10 Mbps Ethernet hub includes 16 RJ-45 ports on the front panel, and 2 AUI/BNC ports on
the rear panel. This hub can be operated in a stand-alone configuration, cascaded to other hubs,
or linked to one or more AUI/BNC backbones. This hub is suitable for desktop or rack-mount
installation, and supports full-range power input. The EtherHub-16 conforms to the IEEE 802.3
standard for local area networks based on CSMA/CD, and provides10BASE-T, 10BASE2 and
10BASE5 repeater functions including:
Signal amplification and retiming
Preamble regeneration and fragment extension
Automatic port partition and reconnection

Hardware Installation

The EtherHub-16 has 16 RJ-45 ports, of which Port 16 can serve as either a standard port or a
daisy-chain port. It also has two AUI/BNC ports. Use twisted-pair cable (100
connect any standard RJ-45 (MDI-X) port to a server/workstation, or to connect the RJ-45 daisy-
chain port (i.e., Port 16MDI ) to another compatible hub or switch. You can also attach up to two
Ethernet LAN backbones by connecting thin coaxial cable to a BNC port or connecting thick
coaxial cable to an AUI port.
Making RJ-45 Connections
1. Prepare straight-through twisted-pair cable (100 ) with RJ-45 plugs at both ends. The
length of each cable should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the hub. Instead,
use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

    EtherHub-16 Quick Start Guide AUI Port This hub has two built-in AUI transceivers (i.e., AUI1 and AUI2) on the rear panel for connection using thick Ethernet cable (10BASE5) or fiber optic Ethernet cable (10BASE-F). To use either AUI port, set the DIP switches to the correct positions and described on page 2. An AUI port can be connected to thick Ethernet by running an AUI drop cable from the hub to a 10BASE5 transceiver attached to the trunk line.

    EtherHub-16 Quick Start Guide Symptom: Jabber indicator lights up. Causes: Frame received on this port exceeds length threshold for Jabber Lockup Protection. Solution: If jabber lockup has occurred, it will be automatically re-enabled when the problem is corrected or the port receives a valid data packet. Check for a faulty network interface card that has started transmitting data but never stops.
