Quick Installation iii
Quick Installation
The Fast EtherHub-8s contains 8 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports. The smart
design built into the front display panel provides a friendly interface that
simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. If you are already familiar
with basic network operations, you should be able to install this hub as
described below:
1. Unpack the Fast EtherHub-8s.
2. Find a location close to the network devices you need to connect, and within
easy reach of an electrical outlet.
3. Mount the hub on a desktop or any other flat surface. If you are installing
multiple hubs, you can stack them on top of each other (after attaching the
foot pads).
4. Connect any devices that use a standard network interface to the RJ-45
(MDI-X) station ports (e.g., a workstation, server, bridge or router). Use
100WCategory 5 STP or UTP cable to connect to the hub, and be sure the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Refer to Chapter 3 for sample configurations.
5. To cascade to another hub or switch, run straight-through twisted-pair cable
from the (8MDI) daisy-chain port on this hub to any (MDI-X) station port on
the other device (or vice versa). Refer to Figure 3.2.
If necessary, you can also cascade between two station ports using crossover
cable. However, be sure not to exceed the maximum length between end
nodes as described in Chapter 2.

iv Quick Installation
6. This hub can serve as a stand-alone repeater for small networks, can be
cascaded with compatible devices (e.g., Fast Ethernet hub or switch), or can
be connected to a network interconnection device (e.g., Fast Ethernet bridge
or router).
7. Verify network communications by ensuring that -
•you have made all the necessary connections
•you can access any connected resources
•the hub’s indicators are functioning properly
If you encounter any problems in installing the Fast EtherHub, refer to Chapter 2
for a detailed description of installation procedures, Chapter 3 for sample
configurations, or Appendix A for help in troubleshooting.
Note: Refer to Chapter 2 for a more detailed description of calculating the maximum cable
length permitted between two end nodes for Fast Ethernet.
