Connecting Cables
The FastHub8 and FastHub16 have 8 and 16 ports on the back panel,
respective ly. If the port is co nnected bu t the Li nk/Acti vity LED i s dark (no t lit),
refer to Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting” on page 11 for further instructions.
Connect devices to the hub ports using the following guidelines.
Station Connections
Connect each station to the hub with a twisted-pair straight cable (10Base-T
cable, Category 3, 4, or 5). Plug the RJ45 connector into a port on the hub, and
plug the other end of the RJ45 cable into the station’s Ethernet adapter. If
necessary, adjust port speed on Ports 1 and 2 by setting the DIP switches before
connecting other devices.
Caution
Be sure to use Category 5 UTP cable when connecting 100 Mbps network
devices. The cable length should not exceed 100 m eters (328 feet).
Hub to Hub Connections
To use Port 8 as an uplink to another hub, manually set the uplink switch (on
the back of the hub) to the “Uplink” position. This eliminates the need for a
crossover cable.
Caution
The uplink cable length should not exceed 5 meters (16 feet) in an 100
Mbps configuration.
Your hub is ready for use.

Chapter 3
Troubleshooting
No Power
If the Power LED is OFF, check the following to isolate the problem:
❑
Make sure the AC/DC adapter is properly connected to the power
outlet and inserted into the power connection on the hub.
❑
Determine whether or not the outlet is funct ional by plugging another
device into the receptacle.
❑
Power the unit OFF and ON again.
If the problem presist, contact Allied Telesyn’s Technical Support. Refer to
Appendix D for technical support telephone and fax numbers in your area.
Link/Activity LED
If the port is connected but the Link/Activity LED is dark (not lit), check the
following to i solate the problem:
❑
The hub and the connected device’s power are ON.
❑
The port’s cable is fir mly seated in its con nectors at the hub and a t the
connected device.
❑
The connected cab le is good and is the co rrect type. Mak e sure that you
use Category 5 UTP cable in connecting 100 Mbps network devices;
the cable length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
❑
The connecting device, including any network adapter, is functioning.
❑
For Port 8, check that the uplink switch is properly set for the
connected device. When connected to another hub, the upl ink position
of this switch eliminates the need for a crossover cable. Note that only
one device should be set to “Uplink”.
11
Troubleshooting
100M LED
If the 100M LED for the port does not indicate th e corre ct speed, check the
following:
❑
If the port is auto-negotiating, wait 1-3 seconds after the device cable
is connected, or power is applied , for the negotiation process to
complete.
❑
If Port 8 is used as an “Uplink”, check that the cable length used for
an uplink does not exceed 5 meters (16 feet) in an 100 Mbps
configuration.
❑
For Ports 1 and 2, check that the speed is correctly set on the DIP
switch. If necessary, adjust port speed on Ports 1 and 2 by manually
setting the DIP switches before connecting other devices.
Connectivity Testing
The following procedure tests each port for a valid connection and correct
operation of the network.
1. Power OFF the unit.
2. Starting with Ports 1 and 2, set the DIP switch (on the back of the unit) to
the appropriate configuration. Refer to “Station Connections” on page 10.
Connect these two ports of a single un it to two nodes or works tat ions and
apply power to the hub.
3. Make sure the
the port is auto-negotiable, wai t approximately 1-3 seconds for the process
to complete after power is applied or after the cables are reconnected.
4. After confirming that Port 1 and Port 2 are operational, reconnect one of
the nodes/workstations to another port, then repeat this communications
test with the hub’s remaining ports. Continue to verify the connection on
each port by checking the
