Connecting to an Ethernet Node

To connect the hub to a 10Base-T Ethernet node, follow these steps:

1.Select an appropriate length of 10Base-T UTP cable for the connection.

2.Connect one end of the UTP cable to the MDI jack on the remote device (e.g., a PC equipped with 10Base-T Ethernet adapter).

3.Connect the other end of the UTP cable to an available MDI-X jack on the hub. It is better to reserve jack #8 for a connection to another hub.

Make sure that the connector on the cable is wired appropriately for the standard 10Base-T node. The 'straight through' connection should be made from the node through the cable and connectors to the hub. Refer to Appendix 'RJ-45 Jack Pin Assignments' for the information of UTP wire pairs.
