Section 1 - Introduction The MaxTech FHX-1200 is a 12-port hub compliant with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX fast ethernet standard. The twelve RJ-45 ports connect workstations or other devices together on a 100Base-TX fast ethernet network using twisted- pair cable. An additional crossover port connects this hub to a second hub using a standard (straight-through) network cable for easy network expansion. - Page 4 Figure 2 Connecting a workstation Connecting Hub to Hub The network can be expanded beyond twelve workstations by connecting two or more hubs together. There are two methods for expansion: daisy-chaining two hubs using a twisted pair cable, or stacking up to six hubs using the hub’s stacking connector. 2.2.1 Daisy-chaining hubs The hub’s twelfth port features an additional cross-over connection to facilitate daisy- chaining hubs using standard cable.

Connect the supplied stacking cable to the OUT port of the first hub and connect the cable to the IN port of the second hub (refer to Figure 4). Do not connect an OUT port to an OUT port or an IN port to an IN port. Section 3 - LED indicators The front-panel LEDs (see Figure 5) show the status of the hub and the network connections. -

Section 4 - Troubleshooting Partition indicator lights up. Symptom: Causes: Hub has partitioned the 100BASE-TX (RJ-45) port due to excessive collisions. Solution: If port partitioning has occurred, the hub will automatically enable the port when the faulty condition disappears. Link/Traffic indicator remains unlit. Symptom: Causes: The workstation’s network adapter, cable or the hub port is... -

Page 8: Appendix A - Optional 100Base-Fx Module
Appendix A - Optional 100Base-FX module The 100Base-FX module is an optional module which enables connectivity (as the thirteenth port) using multi-mode duplex 62.5/125 fiber-optic cable. Fiber- optic cable provides better immunity to electromagnetic interference and sup- ports longer cable lengths compared to copper wire. The 100Base-FX module may be used to connect the hub to either a 100Base-FX workstation or another 100Base-FX hub. -
