Section 1 - Introduction
The MaxTech HX-5 is a 5-port ethernet hub compliant with the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T
standard. The five RJ-45 ports connect workstations or other devices together on
a 10Base-T network using unshielded twisted-pair cable. An additional crossover
port connects this hub to a second hub using standard UTP cable for easy net-
work expansion. A full set of LED indicators assist in network troubleshooting.
The package contains the following items:
• Hub

Section 2 - Installation
1.
Locating the Hub - Place the hub in a location central to your networked
computers, or within the maximum cable length (328 ft.) to the farthest
computer. It can be placed on a desk or it can be mounted on a wall by using
the included mounting plate and screws.
2.
Connecting the Power Adapter - Insert the round end of the power adapter
cord into the hub's DC Input connector (See Figure 1). Plug the transformer
end of the power adapter into a 120V power outlet. The hub is powered on
when this connection is made.
Note: The hub performs a self-test when it is first powered on. The power and
link LEDs (except port 1) will light. The link LEDs will go off, leaving only the
power LED on.
3.
Connecting Workstations - Connect one end of an unshielded twisted-pair
cable into the network connection of a computer. Connect the other end of
