CHAPTER 1 INTORDUCTION
Product Introduction
EH-500, EH-800A and EH-1600 is a standard Ethernet concentrator that re-times and re-transmits the signal to each network station on the LAN. It simplifies the implementation of twisted-pair Ethernet compatible networks following the IEEE
802.3 10Base-2/5/T CSMA/CD standard. Each Hub has 5/8/16 modular RJ-45 STP ports and one BNC port; EH-1600 also have an AUI port for attaching network devices (file server, bridge, and workstations) or additional concentrators.
Product Features
EH-500/EH-800A/EH-1600 provides all the functions necessary to support the requirements of Ethernet networks. These function includes the following features:
5/8/16-port STP RJ-45 connector and one port BNC, one port
AUI(EH-1600).
Manchester decoder for clock and data recoveryAutomatic preamble regeneration to compensate for any bit
loss
Lockup and auto-partition for jabber to isolate network
failures
Auto-Polarity correctionLEDs for Power, Collision, and Link, TX/RX per portDesktop or wall-mountable(EH-500/EH-800A).

There are one DC power connector, one BNC connector for the hub, and one AUI connector for EH-1600.
Note: Pleases check the AC adapter bundled with this hub. The
DC output should be 5V~7.5VDC (EH-500) 7.5VDC (EH-800A) or 12VDC (EH-1600). And it polarity should be .

CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION
Getting Ready to Install the hub
Power Requirement
EH-500/EH-800A/EH-1600 designed with 5V/7.5V/12V DC power requirement. Make sure you are using the AC adapter accompany with this package which labeled with correct DC output. Use of incorrect voltage and incorrect polarity power connector may cause malfunction of this hub.
Prepare to Install
This hub support 5/8/16-port 10Base-T, one port BNC, and one port AUI connection. Extra “DAISY CHAIN” port for hub cascade. Each port is printed with its port number on the location.
STP port and STP/UTP Cable
Connect to the STP port with non cross-over cable to any LAN cards. If connect to a hub through port 1 to port 16, a cross-over cable is required. Users can use a non cross-over cable to cascade to another hub through “DAISY CHAIN” port. Users should use ONLY ONE of these two port (port 1 of EH-1600, port4 of EH-500, port8 of EH-800A and “DAISY CHAIN” port) at the same time. Plug two twisted-pair cable to these two ports will cause this hub malfunction.
The STP/UTP cable should be 22, 24, or 26 AWG with a minimum of one twist per foot. 24 AWG is recommended. The
PLANET Ethernet Hub
12
cable should have a nominal impedance of 100 ohms at 10 MHz, a maximum segment loss of 11.5 dB between 5 and 10 MHz, and a maximum end-to-end propagation delay of 1 microsecond. You can use a STP/UTP cable that complies with AT&T's Premises Distribution System (PDS) wiring standard.
For hub to hub STP/UTP cascading, the limitation in cascading is no more than 5 hubs.
BNC port and Coaxial Thin Cable
The BNC, thin coaxial port can be connected to either a computer or another hub. In order to use the thin coaxial port, you will need one thin coaxial cable, two 50-ohm terminators and T-connectors.
Thin coaxial cable is a 50-ohm coaxial cable with a copper or tinned center conductor, solid inner dielectric (insulating material), and braided wire (not foil) shielding. It can be an RG­58, RG-58/A, RG-58/U, or RG-58A/U cable.
AUI port
The AUI port of EH-1600, beside the feature of BNC port, can be connected to external transceivers, like AUI to BNC, AUI to TP, or AUI to fiber-optic transceiver, and then connected to a computer, a hub or another repeater.

Installation, step by step
Follow the instructions below to set up the hub.
Step 1. Select a suitable place to put the hub or to install.
Make sure there is an AC outlet nearby the AC adapter and the hub.
Step 2. Power off all of the computers, hubs, or other devices
that will be connected to the hub.
Step 3. Connect the AC adapter to the AC outlet on the wall.
Step 4. Connect the DC power cord from AC adapter to the
hub. The power LED should light up.
Step 5. Connect all the cables and connectors.

CHAPTER 4 TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM: The power LED is not lit. SOLUTION:
If the power LED is not lit after the power cord is plugged into the concentrator and the power outlet, there may be a power fault.
1.First verify if there is power at the power outlet by plugging in a device which is known to operate.
2.If a volt meter is available, measure the DC voltage from the AC adapter.
3.If a volt meter is not available and the second power adapter does not fix the problem, contact the authorized dealer from whom you purchased your concentrator for assistance.
SYMPTOM: The Link LED is not lit. SOLUTION:
The Link LED is not on after a workstation is connected to the STP port of the concentrator.
1.Verify if the workstation and the concentrator are powered up.
2.Verify if the network cable has been attached to the workstation.
3.Verify if the network cable from the Hub to workstation is straight-through and is not cross­over.
4.Verify if the wires to the phone jack pins are

connected correctly and the connections are not faulty.
SYMPTOM: When port auto-partitioned out. SOLUTION:
1.Use another Ethernet adapter to verify if the original Ethernet adapter malfunctions.
2.Connect the twisted-pair cable to another concentrator to verify if the twisted-pair cable can work well.
