EtherHub-16 Quick Start Guide

Providing Power to the Hub

1. Power on the hub by plugging the power cord into the power socket at the rear of the hub,

and the other end into a power outlet.

2. Check the LED marked Power on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit automatically

selects a setting that matches the connected input voltage. Therefore, no additional adjustments

are necessary when connecting to any input voltage in the range marked on the rear panel.

System Configuration

The EtherHub-16 provides standard RJ-45 ports for attaching end-node devices such as a

workstation or server, a daisy-chain port for cascading to another hub or switch, BNC ports for

attaching a thin Ethernet backbone, and an AUI port for attaching a thick Ethernet backbone or a

fiber optic link (via the appropriate transceiver). The following figure illustrates some of the

possible network configurations and cabling restrictions that apply to this hub.
