2-6 Installing the System
Providing Power to the EtherHub
1. Power on the hub by plugging the power cord into the power socket at the
rear of the EtherHub, 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
will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage.
Therefore, no additional adjustments are necessary when connecting it to
any input voltage within the range marked on the rear panel.
3. If the TalkingHub
TM
feature is enabled it will issue it’s power-on messages.
The first message is, “The system has started.”
Note:
The TalkingHub feature can be enabled or disabled at any time by pressing
the Speech button on the front panel.
F
The unit supports a “hot remove” feature which permits you to connect/
disconnect cables without powering off the hub and without disrupting the
operation of attached devices.
Verifying Port Status
Check each connection by viewing the port status indicators listed below. (For
a more detailed description of these indicators, refer to Chapter 4.)
Link Indicates that the port has established a valid network connection.
Traffic Indicates traffic traversing the port.
Partition Indicates that the port has been isolated from the hub because a pre-
defined collision threshold has been reached.
If the Link status indicator is not functioning properly, or you experience any
other difficulties in setting up the hub, refer to Appendix A.
