Connecting Devices

Connecting Workstations

Install either a 10BASE-T or a 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card into each workstation if not already installed. Using a UTP/STP cable, connect the Ethernet card (in the workstation) to a hub port.

Connecting Ethernet Hubs or Devices

Connect 10Mbps devices using UTP/STP Cat 3, 4 or 5 cables with RJ-45 connectors, enabling sending/receiving to or from other 10Mbps devices. By default, each port is set in auto sensing mode. The 10/100 Managed Hub can detect a 10BASE-T device and transmit/receive information to/from it.
