Connecting the Hub System
1. Plug one end of the FlexBus 1500 cable (provided) in the
BUS OUT port of the top hub and the other end to the BUS
IN port of the next hub. Repeat this step for each hub in the
stack. The top hub should only have one FlexBus 1500 port
in use (BUS OUT). Refer to the
FlexBus 1500 section in
Chapter 2 for related information.
2. Cascade hubs using the daisy-chain port (Port 16). RJ-45
port 16 can be converted into a daisy-chain port using the
daisy-chain switch. To daisy chain, slide the daisy-chain
switch to the right (
), and plug one end of a twisted-pair
cable to Port 16 and the other end to any RJ-45 port of a
compatible hub. (However, you must not plug both ends to
a daisy-chain port.) Using this type of connection, you can
cascade up to 4 hubs.
I
Do not plug in a phone jack connector to the RJ-45 port. This may
damage the hub. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.
