Normal/Uplink Push Button
The Normal/Uplink push button allows you to select Normal (MDI-X) for direct PC connection.
The push button also allows you to select Uplink (MDI) wiring for connection to a hub or a switch
for port 16 on the Model EN516 hub and for port 24 on the Model EN524 hub. This uplink
configuration eliminates the need to use a crossover cable. Ports 1 through 15 on the Model
EN516 hub and ports 1 through 23 on the Model EN524 hub are permanently configured for
normal wiring for connection to a PC.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of each hub has two ports: the AUI port and the BNC port. You can use the AUI
port with the appropriate transceiver to connect the hub to a backbone network using thin coaxial
cable, thick coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, or 10BASE-T wiring. You can use the BNC port to
connect to a backbone network or other PCs using thin coaxial cable. The rear panel also includes
an AC power receptacle. The hub accepts between 100 and 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Activity Description
On Power is supplied to the hub.
occasional collisions are normal.
Blinking There is incoming data on the BNC port.
The BNC port is partitioned because of excessive
collisions or the BNC port is not connected.
Blinking There is incoming data on the AUI port.
The AUI port is partitioned because of excessive
collisions or because the signal quality error (SQE) test
function is not disabled on the transceiver.
On The link between this port and the connected device is
good.
Blinking There is incoming data on the port.
The port is partitioned because of excessive collisions.
