Chapter 2: Installing the System

This chapter provides information on installing the Fast EtherHub-12s, estab- lishing network connections, and configuring the system. You may install this hub on any level surface (e.g., a table or shelf) or in a standard EIA equipment rack. However, please take note of the following minimum site requirements before you begin.

Pre-Installation Requirements

Before you start actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation requirements:

Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz). The hub’s power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.

The EtherHub should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. of space at the front and back for ventilation.

Place the hub out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic interference.

Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.

Find a suitable location at the center of the devices you want to link, and near a power outlet
