Quick Installation

These hubs are suitable for desktop or rack mounting

Attach PCs to the station ports

Attach each hub in the stack with FlexBus 3500 stack cable

Accton’s Fast EtherHub 3500 models each contain 12 Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) RJ-45 ports, one MDI daisy-chain port, and one slot for an optional connection using 100BASE-TX (10BASE-T), 100BASE-T4 or 100BASE-FX.

The smart design built into the front display panel and configure options provide a friendly interface that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. If you are already familiar with basic network operations, you should be able to install this hub as described below:

1.Unpack the Fast EtherHub 3500 unit.

2.Find a location close to the network devices you need to connect, and within easy reach of an electrical outlet.

3.Mount the hub on a desktop or any other flat surface. If you are installing multiple hubs, you can stack them on top of each other (after attaching the foot pads), or install them in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

4.Connect any devices that use a standard network interface

to the RJ-45 (MDI-X) station ports (e.g., a workstation, server or router). Use 100W Category 5 unshielded twisted- pair (UTP) or 100W shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. Also

be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters. (Refer to Chapter 2 for a more detailed description of calculating the maximum cable length permitted between two end nodes.)

5.If you are stacking multiple hubs, connect the FlexBus 3500 stack cable between the “ Out” and “ In” backplane ports on adjacent hubs. Run a simple chain starting at the Out port on the top hub in the stack, and ending at the In port on the bottom hub in the stack. No more than 6 hubs can be connected via the backplane bus.
