Chapter 2: Installing the System

This chapter provides information on pre-installation requirements, establishing network connections, and configuring the system.

Pre-Installation Requirements

Before you start making network connections to the Fast EtherHub-12se, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation requirements:

∙Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. The hub’s power supply automatically detects the input voltage level.

∙The hub should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. of space at the front and back for ventilation.

∙Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.

∙Find a suitable location at the center of the devices you want to link, and near a power outlet

Connecting the Hub System

This hub is a Fast Ethernet repeater for 100BASE-TX networks, with an additional fiber optic link for connection to any compatible 100BASE-FX device. The Fast EtherHub-12se has 11 RJ-45 station ports, of which Port 12 can serve as either a station port or a daisy-chain port (depending on the port’s switch setting). Use twisted-pair cable (100W Category 5 STP or UTP) to connect any RJ-45 MDI-X port to a server/workstation, or to connect the RJ-45 MDI port (i.e., Port

12)to another compatible hub. It also has one additional fiber optic port (Port 1: SC or ST type). You may use 50/125 or 62.5/125 mm guage multimode fiber optic cable with SC or ST type connectors (depending on the Fast EtherHub
