1. To connect the hub to another hub, push the
"crossover" cable RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 jack
until the tab on the plug clicks into place.
2. Push the other end of the cable into the
connecting hub.
If you are connecting your hubs together on a
ThinLAN backbone, follow these steps:
1. Attach a ThinLAN cable section
to one side of a BNC "T"
connector.
2. Attach another ThinLAN cable
section or a 50-ohm terminator
to the other side of the "T"
connector.
3. Attach the "T" connector to the
ThinLAN port.
4. Cover the BNC connector
with an insulating cover.
Note: Each ThinLAN cable segment must be
terminated using a 50-ohm terminator at each end. In
the illustration above, a 50-ohm terminator would be
placed on one side of the BNC "T" connector if that
connector is at the end of the cable segment.
