Wall Mounting the OfficeConnect Hub

There are two slots on the underside of the OfficeConnect hub which are used for wall mounting. You can mount the hub with the LEDs facing upwards or downwards, to suit your needs.

When wall mounting your hub, ensure that it is within reach of the power outlet.

You need two suitable screws. Ensure that the wall you are going to use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy. Make two screw holes which are 142 mm (5.6 in) apart. Use the arrows at the top of the Quick Reference Guide to mark the position of the holes. Fix the screws into the wall, leaving their heads 3 mm (0.12 in) clear of the wall surface.

Remove any connections to the hub and locate it over the screw heads. When in line, gently push the hub on to the wall and move it downwards to secure. When making connections, be careful not to push the hub up and off the wall.

CAUTION: Only wall mount single hubs, do not wall mount stacked hubs.

Connecting Workstations and Other Equipment to Your Hub

WARNING: Ensure you have read the Important Safety Information section carefully before you start.

ACHTUNG: Versichern Sie sich, daß Sie den Abschnitt mit den wichtigen Sicherheitshinweisen gelesen haben, bevor Sie das Gerät benutzen.

AVERTISSEMENT: Assurer que vous avez lu soigneusement la section de L’information de Sécurité Importante avant que vous commenciez.

CAUTION: Do not power the hub off and on quickly. Wait about 5 seconds between power cycles.

Connecting workstations and other equipment to your hub is easy. Connect them using 10BASE-T cables to any of the hub’s eight 10BASE-T RJ45 ports.

10BASE-T cables are very easy to use. To connect a 10BASE-T cable, simply slot the connector into the relevant RJ45 port. When the connector is fully in, its latch locks it in place. To disconnect the cable, push the connector’s latch in and remove it.
