Installation

Place the Model FE116 hub on a flat surface or mount it on a wall with the hardware included in the wall mount kit. Be sure the hub is positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation.

Connecting Devices

You can connect any device equipped with a 100BASE-T Ethernet interface to the RJ-45 ports on the Model FE116 hub. These standard RJ-45 ports accept either 2-pair or 4-pair Category 5 UTP cable (100BASE-TX networks require only 2-pair wiring). The RJ-45 interface is an 8-pin connector.

To connect any of the RJ-45 ports on your Model FE116 hub to a PC, use a regular straight-through UTP cable. If you are connecting using Port 16 on your hub, set the Normal/Uplink push button to Normal.
