About this Guide
This guide provides instructions for instal-ling all
of the products described below. These D-Link®
Ethernet Hubs are all Plug and Play compliant
for easy installation.

When designing your cable configuration, it is
necessary to strictly observe the Ethernet cabling
rules. This manual assumes familiarity with the
fundamental Ethernet cabling rules and limits; it
only describes the details of cable connection.
Rack Mounting
The Ethernet Hub may stand alone, or may be
mounted in a standard 19-inch equip-m ent rack.
Rack mounting produces an orderly installation
when you have a number of related network
devices. Use the six supplied screws to fasten
the supplied mounting brackets to either end of
the hub, then fasten t he hub i nt o the ra ck.
Installing Network
Cables
Your Ethernet Hub is denominated as an 8-port,
or 16-port, or 24-port Ethernet Hub according to
the number of its front-panel 10BaseT ports.
Additionally it has two ports whose connectors
are on the rear panel: one 10Base2 port (BNC
connector), and one 10Base5 port (AUI
connector). These two un-numbered rear-panel
ports are logically equivalent with the numbered
ports on the front panel of the E t herne t Hub.
By using a rear-panel connector of the Ethernet
Hub to connect into an existing coaxial network
cable, you can add on a star-topology subnet,
connected through the Ethernet Hub’s numbered
front-panel ports. Alternatively, you can connect
into an existing star-topology through a front
panel port of the Ethe rne t Hub, and then add on a
bus-topology subnet by connecting the subnet
bus to a rear-panel connector of the Ethernet Hub
(irrespective of any star-topology subnet that
may also be supported by the Ethernet Hub’s
front-panel ports). In either case, the unused
rear-panel connector always remains available to
connect a second coaxial cable (alternative type
of coaxial cable).
When the Ethernet Hub has no coaxial trunk
connection, then both of the rear panel
connectors remain available for coaxial stationcable connections. It is useful to keep this in
mind when you have some station equipment
whose adapters have no 10BaseT port (RJ-45
connector), and thus can only be connected to the
hub through a coaxial cable.
Station Connections with
Twisted-Pair Cable
Connect each station to the Ethernet Hub by
means of a twisted-pair straight cable (10BaseT
cable, Category 3, 4, or 5). Plug one RJ-45
connector into a front-pa nel port of the Ethernet
Hub, and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the
station’s Ethernet adapter.
