Introduction
Thank you for choosing the PALM SIZE 10BASE-T Ethernet Hub. The hub was designed and manufactured to give you years of trouble-free and reliable service.
The hub is designed for plug-and-play installation and easy management. The hub provides an Uplink connection (shared with Port 1) for your network expansion via a RJ-45 MDI-II connector, making it easy to link two or more hubs together.
The hub features LINK/RX LEDs to show the network connection and packet receiving status of each twisted pair port. PWR (power) and COL (collision) indicators show the operational status of the hub.
Product Features
?? Compliance with IEEE 802.3 10Base -T and 10Base-2
(TE-910plus only) standard.
?? Automatic partitioning function of each port to isolate
network failure.
?? RJ45 ports support Category 3 or better twisted-pair
cable.
?? LED indicators for each twisted pair port for link and
receive status.
?? Uplink jack for easy linking of two hubs to further expand
the network.
?? Compact in size.

Rear Panel Connectors
RJ45 MDI -X Twisted-pair Jacks
Use these jacks to connect Ethernet devices (server/workstation/print server) to the hub. These are MDI-X (Medium Dependent Interface, Cross-Wired) jacks, which means you can use ordinary stright-through twisted-pair cables to connect workstations and servers to the hub. If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X jack, such as another
4
hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossver cable, or make the connection using the Uplink jack.
Uplink Jack
The Uplink jack is an MDI-II jack, which means you can connect the hub to an Ethernet device’s (i.e. Hub or Switch) MDI-X port using straight-through cable.
Port1 and the Uplink port is really the same port, except their pinouts are different. Do not use both Port -1 (1X) and the
Uplink port at the same time.
When uplinking hubs together, please do not exceed the “4-repeater (hub) count, 3 segments, and 2 populated segments” Ethernet connection rule. Basically, you can only uplink 4 hubs together using the UTP cable. The maximum CAT3, 4, or 5 twisted pair cable di stance between two Ethernet devices is 100 meters. If you have question about this rule, please contact our support department at techsupport@trendware.com.
BNC Port (TE910plus only) To connect the 10Base -2 network, attach the thin coax cable’s
BNC “T Connector” to the BNC port. Terminate the open end of the “T Connector” with a 50 Ohms Terminator. The coax cable should be marked RG58U or RG58 A/U, the maximum cable length between the two terminators is 185 meters, and you can connect up to 30 nodes on this cable.

Installation
Installing the Hub
The site where you install the hub may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:
Install the hub in a fairly cool and dry place, for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
?? Install the hub in a site free from strong
electromagnetic field generators (i.e. motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
?? Leave at least 10 cm of space at the front
and rear of the hub for ventilation. Note not to block the ventilation holes on the top of the hub.
?? Install the hub on a sturdy, level surface
that can support its weight.
?? You can stack two or more hubs together by
inserting the two small round legs at the bottom of the hub to the two holes on top of another hub.
Connecting the Power Adapter
Power is supplied to the Ethernet Hub through an AC power adapter. Connect the adapter to the power outlet and then connect the plug to the hub’s power jack.

Cables and Connectors
Twisted-Pair Cable: Category 3 or better unshielded twisted-pair or EIA/TIA-568 compliant, 100-ohm shielded twisted-pair data cable with 0.4 to 0.6 mm (22 to 26 AWG) wires in two or four twisted pairs (only two pairs, four wires, are used for 10BASE-T). Maximum segment length: 100 meters. Connectors: RJ-45.

Twisted-pair Crossover Cables
When making an uplink connection between two hubs (or between a hub and a switch, a bridge, or other Ethernet device) using MDI-X type jacks at both ends, you must use a crossover cable. In a crossover cable, two pairs of wires are switched at one end. Carry out the following steps to create a crossover twisted-pair cable:
1. Leave one end of the cable as -is, with the wiring on the
RJ-45 connector unchanged. The wiring needs to be modified at one end only.
2. At the other end of the cable, connect wire 1 from the
unchanged connector to wire position 2, connect wire 3 to wire position 6, connect wires 3 to wire position 1 and connect wire 1 to wire position 2. Refer to the following diagram:
