Connecting to an Ethernet Node

To connect the hub to a 10Base-T Ethernet node, follow these steps:

1. Select an appropriate length of 10Base-T UTP cable for the

connection.

2. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the MDI jack on the

remote device (e.g., a PC equipped with 10Base-T Ethernet
adapter).

3. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to an available MDI-X

jack on the hub. It is better to reserve jack #8 for a connection to
another hub.

Make sure that the connector on the cable is wired appropriately for
the standard 10Base-T node. The 'straight through' connection should
be made from the node through the cable and connectors to the hub.
Refer to Appendix 'RJ-45 Jack Pin Assignments' for the information
of UTP wire pairs.
