Setting Up a Network
If you do not already have a network, you will need to create one. A
simple network consists of a central LAN hub with multiple Ethertwist
cables, one connected to the LAN port of each network device. This is
often called a star topology, with the LAN hub at the center.
Typical 8-port hub
HP J2610B AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub-8U
Typical 16-port hub
HP J2611B AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub-16U
Typical Ethertwist cables
92268A twisted-pair “straight-through” cable, 4 meters
92268B twisted-pair “straight-through” cable, 8 meters
92268C twisted-pair “straight-through” cable, 16 meters
92268D twisted-pair “straight-through” cable, 32 meters
92268N twisted-pair “straight-through” cable, 300 meters
To order cables, contact the nearest Agilent Technologies sales or service
office. See Table 9-5 on page 9-11 for a list of sales and service offices.
