2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The site for the LAN Master TX8 hub must provide:
AC power outlet for each hub
Adequate ventilation
Standard environmental conditions
Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters
and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical
lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.
Additionally:
The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit
with power line cables
Phone lines should be separated from data cables
Flat or silver satin wires should not be used.
And:
Since the LAN Master TX8 functions as an Ethernet
Repeater, the entire installation should comply with the IEEE
Ethernet 802.3 specification.
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

Fault Isolation
If two network devices fail to communicate through the LAN
Master TX8, consider the following:
Are the LEDs described in the previous section functioning
properly?
Do network devices have Link Integrity enabled?
Do network devices communicate when the LAN Master
TX8 is not installed between them?
Is flat or silver satin wire used in site internal wiring?
Are internal wiring patch cords, punch down blocks, and
wall jacks properly pinned or configured?
Are network interface cards properly configured?
