Connecting the Hub Through the MDI Port
You can connect BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hubs to other
compatible hubs or switches through port 1 on the front panel of the hub, setting
the MDI/MDI-X button to uplink.
To connect to another device through the MDI port:
1. Insert an RJ-45 connector of a straight-through twisted pair Ethernet
cable into port 1 of your hub.
You can configure port 1 to uplink or normal mode using the MDI/MDI-X
button.
2. Set the MDI/MDI-X button next to port 1 to MDI, or uplink.
3. Insert the other RJ-45 connector in to any MDI-X port on another device.
You can also connect this RJ-45 connector to a MDI port on another device set
up as a daisy-chain configuration.
Applying Power to the Hub
To apply power to your hubs:
1. Plug the power cord into the power socket in the rear of the hub.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard power outlet.
The hub will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input
voltage. No additional adjustments are necessary when you connect the hub to
any input voltage, as long as the voltage range is within the range marked on
the rear panel.
3. Check the Power LED on the front panel.
The Power LED should be on. The hub will perform a self-diagnostic test
during the power on process.
Note: The hub supports a “hot remove” feature which permits you to connect
or disconnect cables without powering off the hub. Operation of devices
attached to the hub is not disrupted.
