STP Station Ports

The unit has sixteen RJ-45 station ports. Using shielded or unshielded (STP or UTP) twisted-pair cable, connect your workstation (via the network interface card’s port) to any available RJ-45 port.

Port 16 can be converted into a daisy-chain port by enabling the Daisy-Chain switch (see the following section on theDaisy-Chain Switch for related information). Hence, this port also can be used to connect the unit to another compatible unit using STP or UTP cable.

Daisy-Chain Switch

This switch is located on the right side of the front panel beside Port 16. It is used to enable/disable the daisy-chain function of said port. When the switch is enabled, Port 16 can be used as a daisy-chain port to link the unit to another compatible hub.

When the switch is disabled, Port 16 can only be used as a station port. To enable daisy chaining, slide the switch to the right (). To disable daisy chaining, slide it to the left ( ).

Enable Port 16 for daisy chaining
