4. OPERATION

2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The StackMaster TX12 normally requires no intervention beyond

The site for the StackMaster TX12 hub must provide:

occasionally monitoring the Power and Status LEDs.

• AC power outlet for each hub

 

Adequate ventilation

 

Standard environmental conditions

 

• Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters

 

 

and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical

 

 

lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.

 

Additionally:

 

• The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit

 

 

with power line cables

 

• Phone lines should be separated from data cables

 

• Flat or “silver satin” wires should not be used.

 

And:

 

 

• Since the StackMaster TX12 functions as an Ethernet

 

 

Repeater, the entire installation should comply with the IEEE

 

 

Ethernet 802.3 specification.

Status LEDs

Status LEDs are located at the front of the StackMaster TX12.
