It covers unpacking the product, connection of power, cabling requirements and connection to the RJ-45 ports, and installing the optional feet and rack mount ears. In addition, this guide describes the meaning of the LEDs, provides trouble shooting suggestions, and a theory of operation of the MIL- 5008H.

The MIL-5008H complies with the IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BASE-TX class II hubs supporting half duplex, 100Mbps bandwidth. Each port supports auto partitioning with reconnection after fault correction.
