Connectors

Eight (8) RJ-4510BaseT connectors are located on the front of the LANMaster T8 Hub. One (1) power connector is located on the back of the LANMaster T8 Hub.

NOTE: Slide-In cards (SICs) can provide optional additional fiber optic, male and female AUI, BNC, and RJ-45 connectors

LEDs

The Power LED indicates the LANMaster T8 Hub connection to external power. The Port Indicator Link/Partition LEDs indicate (for each port) the status of the LANMaster T8 Hub connections to the 10 BaseT network.

MDI/MDI-X Switch

The MDI/MDI-Xswitch allows the RJ-45 connection at Port 8 to be changed from straight-throughto crossover.
