Chapter 2 Installation FX-05SC ● Limitations on Cascading Hubs Environmental Requirements Generally, repeater hubs can cascade only up to four stages for 10BASE-T and two stages for 100BASE-TX. This limitation does not apply to a Before proceeding, please take a minute to review the safety guidelines switching hub because each port on the switch has its own collision domain.
3. Attach one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the computer ’ s network adapter, and the other end to any of Port 1-5 of FX-05SC. Using the hub 1. Prepare a straight-through cable with RJ-45 plugs. Cable type must be in a stand-alone configuration, you can network up to 5 computers.
