Hardware Installation

1.Find a location for the hub.

The unit is suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation. A good location is at the center of all the devices you want to link, close to the trunk segment, and near a power outlet.

ΦThe EtherHub 1500 hubs can be stacked with other hubs using a mounting rack or directly on top of one another through the FlexBus 1500 ports. Refer to the sections on Stacking Hubs without a Rack or Mounting Hubs on a Rack for a description of these methods.

If you don’t want to stack the hub with other hubs now, skip this step and proceed to Connecting the Hub System.

If you plan to use the hub in a stand-alone configuration, go to Step 4 under Connecting the Hub System.

2.Connect the hub to compatible hubs (e.g., the EtherHub-16i+or EtherHub-16mi+) through the FlexBus 1500 ports. Use either of the two methods mentioned in this section.
