NETGEAR EN516, EN524

Model EN516/EN524 Ethernet Hub Installation Guide

To install your hub on a flat surface, you do not need any special tools. Install the rubber footpads

that are included in the package. Be sure the hub is positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all

sides for ventilation.

To install the hub in a rack, you need two Phillips screwdrivers: one siz e for the screws that attach

the brackets to the hub and another size for the screws that attach the brackets to the mounting

rack. Be sure to choose a location that is near the devices to be connected, is close to an electrical

outlet, and provides at least 2inches of space all around the hub for ventilation.

You can connect PCs, Apple Macintosh computers, UNIX workstations, or any device equipped

with a 10BASE-T Ethernet interface to the RJ-45 ports on your hub by using twisted pair Ethernet

cables.

To connect any of the RJ-45 ports on your hub to a PC, use a regular straight-through UTP cable.

If you are connecting using port 16 on th e M odel EN516 hub or port 24 on the Model EN524 hub,

set the Normal/Uplink push bu tto n to Nor m a l.

Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length be tween your PC or server and the

hub to 328 feet (100 meters) in length.
