Chapter 2: Installing the System
This chapter provides information on pre-installation requirements, establishing
network connections, and configuring the system.
Pre-Installation Requirements
Before you start making network connections to the Fast EtherHub-12se, make
sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power
requirements, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected.
Verify the following installation requirements:
• Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. The hub’s power
supply automatically detects the input voltage level.
• The hub should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. of space
at the front and back for ventilation.
• Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.
• Find a suitable location at the center of the devices you want to link, and
near a power outlet
Connecting the Hub System
This hub is a Fast Ethernet repeater for 100BASE-TX networks, with an
additional fiber optic link for connection to any compatible 100BASE-FX device.
The Fast EtherHub-12se has 11 RJ-45 station ports, of which Port 12 can serve as
either a station port or a daisy-chain port (depending on the port’s switch setting).
Use twisted-pair cable (100
W Category 5 STP or UTP) to connect any RJ-45
MDI-X port to a server/workstation, or to connect the RJ-45 MDI port (i.e., Port
12) to another compatible hub. It also has one additional fiber optic port (Port 1:
SC or ST type). You may use 50/125 or 62.5/125
mm guage multimode fiber
optic cable with SC or ST type connectors (depending on the Fast EtherHub
