Section 1 - Introduction

The MaxTech FHX-1200 is a 12-port hub compliant with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX fast ethernet standard. The twelve RJ-45 ports connect workstations or other devices together on a 100Base-TX fast ethernet network using twisted- pair cable. An additional crossover port connects this hub to a second hub using a standard (straight-through) network cable for easy network expansion. The hub also provides a stackable port for cascading up to 6 hubs (72 nodes). A full set of LED indicators assist in network troubleshooting.

The package contains the following items:

 

• Hub

• Stacking cable

• Power cord

• Rack mount kit

• User’s Guide

 

Section 2 - Installation

2.1Connecting Workstations to hub

1.Locating the Hub - Place the hub in a location central to your networked computers, or within the maximum cable length (328 ft.) to the farthest computer. The hub may be placed on a table or mounted in a 19-inch rack with the included mounting kit.

2.Connecting the Power Cord - Insert the power cord into the hub’s power connector (See Figure 1). Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC power outlet. The hub is powered on when this connection is made. The power switch has been eliminated to reduce the chance that the hub will be accidentally turned off.

3.Connecting Workstations - Connect one end of a Catagory 5 twisted-pair cable into an open port (1 through 12, except the Daisy-Chain port) on the hub (See Figure 2). Connect the other end of the cable to the computer to be networked. The length of the cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).

The hub installation is complete. If you have more than one hub and need to daisy-chain or stack the hubs, proceed to Section 2.2. Otherwise, proceed to Section 3.
