Hardware Description 2-15
STP Station Ports
The unit has sixteen RJ-45 station ports. Using shielded or
unshielded (STP or UTP) twisted-pair cable, connect your
workstation (via the network interface card’s port) to any
available RJ-45 port.
Port 16 can be converted into a daisy-chain port by enabling the
Daisy-Chain switch (see the following section on the
Daisy-Chain
Switch
for related information). Hence, this port also can be used
to connect the unit to another compatible unit using STP or UTP
cable.
Daisy-Chain Switch
This switch is located on the right side of the front panel beside
Port 16. It is used to enable/disable the daisy-chain function of
said port. When the switch is enabled, Port 16 can be used as a
daisy-chain port to link the unit to another compatible hub.
When the switch is disabled, Port 16 can only be used as a
station port. To enable daisy chaining, slide the switch to the
right (
). To disable daisy chaining, slide it to the left ( ).
