Installation manual

b. Run each twin power lead from DC powered com-
ponents down to the Power Distribution board, as-
signing a separate DC output block to each.
Connect the “+” side (usually striped) to POSITIVE
and the “-“ side (usually plain) to NEGATIVE or
GROUND; when using Cat 5 wire use the BROWN
pair for POSITIVE and the GREEN pair for NEGATIVE
or GROUND. The components are now wired to the
DC Power Supply module. Check for any potential
shorts, and plug the AC-DC Power Converter into
the AC Power Block or other AC outlet.
9.5 Multi-Location Networking
Application
To configure the connections for data, identify the cable
you wish to activate and connect one end of a
Category 5 or 5e patch cord into the corresponding
jack and the other end into a port of a previously in-
stalled data hub.
The 10Base-T Network Hub
The 10Base-T Network Hub is a controller for an in-
house or small office network. Patch cords connected
from the hub ports to the structured wiring system con-
nectors allow 10Base-T compatible data devices
throughout the home to be networked together. These
devices (such as PC’s and peripherals) will need net-
work cards or adapters and related software.
Like all Leviton modules and panels, the hub easily in-
stalls inside a SMC through the use of mounting pins. It
can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Simply align
the pins with the mounting holes and push them in, se-
curing the hub to the SMC.
Note:You must use the AC/DC power supply that comes
with the Network Hub. Do not use any other AC/DC
power supply with this module.
The following illustrations show both front and rear view
of the hub.
FRONT (with LED indicators)
A. Power (RED) Indicator: Lights while the hub is pow-
ered up
B. Collision (YELLOW) Indicator: Blinks when the hub
detects a collision on the network
C. Link/Receive (GREEN) Indicators: Show the status
of the data link and remain on when the connection
is OK, blinking if the data is being received on that
segment
D. Partition (RED) Indicators: Show malfunctioning
ports; faulty ports are automatically isolated by the
hub (this partition returns to normal status when the
port recovers)
REAR
E. Category 5 or 5e Ports: The hub is equipped with 5
Category 5 or 5e ports for making 10Base-T hub-to-
Cat 5 Module connections
F. NORMAL/UPLINK Switch: Slide this switch to
“Uplink” to enable cascading with Category 5 or 5e
cords
G. AC Adapter Port: Insert the AC adapter jack into this
port
The 10Base-T Network Hub is a specification for
Ethernet networks based on twisted pair cabling. The
maximum conductor length of a segment for 10Base-T
networks is 90 meters (approximately 295 feet).
To establish 10-Base-T connections, you will need the
following equipment:
• Twisted pair Category 5 or 5e patch cords for hub-to-
Cat 5 Module
