Quick Installation
The HP J3235A AdvanceStack 100Base-T Hub-8TXE contains 8 100Base-TX
Fast Ethernet ports. The smart design built into the front display panel
provides a friendly interface that simplifies installation and network
troubleshooting. If you are already familiar with basic network operations, you
should be able to install this hub as described below:
1. Unpack the HP Hub-8TXE.
2. Find a location close to the network devices you need to connect, and within
easy reach of an electrical outlet.
3. Mount the hub on a desktop or any other flat surface. If you are installing
multiple hubs, you can stack them on top of each other (after attaching the
foot pads).
4. Connect any devices that use a standard network interface to the RJ-45
(MDI-X) ports (e.g., a workstation, server, bridge or router). Use 100
Category 5 STP or 100
be sure the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100
meters. Refer to Chapter 3 for sample configurations.
5. To cascade to another hub or switch, run straight-through twisted-pair cable
from the (8MDI) cascade port on this switch to any (MDI-X) port on the
other device (or vice versa). Refer to Figure 3.2.
If necessary, you can also cascade between two ports using crossover cable.
However, be sure not to exceed the maximum length between end nodes as
described in Chapter 2.
