The Hub’s Ports
1-5 Ports 1-5 are where you will connect your PCs to the hub.
It is through these ports that network information is
exchanged.
Uplink You can expand your network by connecting your hub to
another hub, switch, router or Broadband modem through
the Uplink port. If the Uplink port is being used, the port
adjacent to it will become inactive, reducing the hub’s oper-
able ports from five to four.
