Monitoring Power LED

The green Power LED is illuminated when the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot is connected to external power.

Monitoring Port/Indicator LEDs

Each of the eight twisted pair ports has an associated LED:

steady green

data traffic is active on link

flashing green port has been partitioned.

2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The site for the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot must provide:

AC power outlet for each LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot

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.

If using Slide-in Card (SIC) connection between LANMaster

T8 Hubs, the maximum cable distances are:

Fiber Optic

2000 meters

10Base5

500 meters

10Base2

185 meters

10BaseT

100 meters

And:

Since the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot functions as an Ethernet repeater, the entire LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot 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.
