Transition Networks 401 manual Site Considerations, Operation, Monitoring Power LED

2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The site for the 0401 Ethernet Repeater Hub must provide:

•AC power outlet for each Hub

•Adequate ventilation

•Standard environmental conditions

•Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.

Additionally:

•The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit with power line cables.

•Phone lines should be separated from data cables.

•Flat or “silver satin” wires should not be used.

And:

•Since the 0400A Ethernet Pocket Hub functions as an Ethernet Repeater, the entire 0400A Ethernet Repeater Hub installation should comply with the IEEE Ethernet 802.3 specification.

•RJ-45 connected cables should be configured as crossover or straight through according to installation requirements.

4. OPERATION

The 0401 Pocket Hub normally requires no intervention beyond occasionally monitoring the Power and Link/Transmit LEDs.

Power LED

Link/Transmit LEDs

Monitoring Power LED

The green Power LED is illuminated when the Pocket Hub is connected to power.

Monitoring Link/Transmit LEDs

Each of the green Link/Transmit LEDs , associated with one of the eight RJ-45 ports:

•is illuminated when a device is connected to the RJ-45 port

•flashes slowly as data is transmitted

•flashes quickly if the associated RJ-45 port has been automatically partitioned.
