Quick Start
1. Install the Express 10/100 Stackable Hub in a rack or on a shelf or table,
plug it in, and turn the power on.
2. Connect either 100BASE-TX devices
or
10BASE-T devices to the ports.
3. Check the LEDs for links. You’re done.
Next steps (Optional)
Continue to the next page if you want to connect multiple hubs.
Rack: Use the four small screws to attach
the brackets to the hub. Use the four large
screws (not shown) to attach the hub to
the rack.
Shelf: Attach the four rubber feet to the
bottom before placing on a shelf or table.
The default hub speed is 100 Mbps. Press
Change Hub Speed to operate at 10 Mbps.
All ports operate at the same speed
For this connection Use this cable
Hub to server or workstation Straight-through TPE
Hub to print server Straight-through TPE
Hub to switch Crossover TPE
Hub to hub (10 Mbps only) Crossover TPE
Use Category 5 (CAT 5)
twisted-pair Ethernet
(TPE) cabling for 100
Mbps connections. Use
CAT 3, 4, or 5 TPE for
10 Mbps connections.
Cable distance can’t
exceed 100 meters
whether running at 10 or
100 Mbps.
Do not configure
attached devices for full-
duplex. Hubs aren’t
capable of full-duplex.
On solid indicates a valid
link (may take up to 6
seconds). Blinking
indicates activity on the
port.
Should normally be off. Blinking indicates a
speed mismatch. For example, the hub is
operating at 100 Mbps, but a 10 Mbps device
is connected to the port. See pages
10-11 for detailed descriptions.
