Connecting the Hub System

1.Plug one end of the FlexBus 1500 cable (provided) in the BUS OUT port of the top hub and the other end to the BUS IN port of the next hub. Repeat this step for each hub in the stack. The top hub should only have one FlexBus 1500 port in use (BUS OUT). Refer to the FlexBus 1500 section in Chapter 2 for related information.

2.Cascade hubs using the daisy-chain port (Port 16). RJ-45 port 16 can be converted into a daisy-chain port using the daisy-chain switch. To daisy chain, slide the daisy-chain switch to the right (), and plug one end of a twisted-pair cable to Port 16 and the other end to any RJ-45 port of a compatible hub. (However, you must not plug both ends to a daisy-chain port.) Using this type of connection, you can cascade up to 4 hubs.

ΙDo not plug in a phone jack connector to the RJ-45 port. This may damage the hub. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.
