Plug the power cord into the hub’s receptacle
2.
and into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
The hub does not have a power switch; it is
powered on when the power cord is plugged in.

Check the LEDs on the hub’s front panel. When
3.
the hub is powered on, it performs
a 3 to 60 second self-diagnostic test. When the
test completes, the following occurs:
– Power LED is on.
– RPS LED is on if a Redundant Power Supply is
connected (available at the end of 1995).
– Fault LED is off.
– If an SNMP Module is installed, the Exp Slot
LED is on.
If the Fault LED stays on, the hub has
encountered an unrecoverable error. See
chapter 4, “Troubleshooting”.
Before mounting, unplug the hub.

Install the hub into a rack or cabinet following
5.
pages 1-5 through 1-10 (in the accompanying hub
manual) and power the hub back on.

Hub-to-End Node Connection
Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 jack until the
1.
tab on the plug clicks into place.
Push the other end of the cable into the LAN
2.
adapter in the end node such as a PC, printer, or

Hub-to-Hub Connections
ThinLAN cable
1. To connect the hub to another hub, push the
“crossover” cable RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 jack
until the tab on the plug clicks into place.
Push the other end of the cable into the
2.
connecting hub.
ThinLAN Backbone Connection
If you are connecting your hubs together on a
ThinLAN backbone, follow these steps:
Attach a ThinLAN cable section
1.
to one side of a BNC “T”
connector.
50-ohm
terminator
twisted-pair
“crossover” cable
OR
ThinLAN cable
Attach another ThinLAN cable
2.
section or a 50-ohm terminator
to the other side of the “T”
connector.
Attach the “T” connector to the
3.
ThinLAN port.
Cover the BNC connector
4.
with an insulating cover.
Note:
Each ThinLAN cable segment must be
terminated using a 50-ohm terminator at each end. In
the illustration above, a 50-ohm terminator would be
placed on one side of the BNC “T” connector if that
connector is at the end of the cable segment.
