Normal/Uplink Push Button
The Normal/Uplink push button allows you to select Normal (MDI-X) wiring for direct PC connection. The push button also allows you to select Uplink (MDI) wiring for connection to a hub or a switch through port 4 on the Model EN104TP hub, port 6 on the Model EN106TP hub, or port 8 on the Model EN108TP hub. This uplink configuration eliminates the need to use a crossover cable. The other 10BASE-T ports are permanently configured for normal wiring for connection to a PC.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the hub has a ground clip and a receptacle for the power adapter.
