About Older PC-Per-Station Installations with Network Hubs
Older PC-Per-Station installations use a network hub configured as shown below.
Note Hubs only support hal-duplex communications.
1. Use the existing “crossover” cable to connect the controller processor
module to the Uplink/Normal (MDI/MDIX) port (usually port 8) of the
controller-dedicated network hub.
The Uplink/Normal (MDI/MDIX) port LED (usually port 8) should
illuminate when the connection has been established. If the LED does not
illuminate, press the Uplink/Normal (MDI/MDIX) port switch located on
the back of the hub.
2. Connect the controller-dedicated network hub to the built-in Ethernet
network adapters in the PCs.
Note Make sure everyone using your system controller can identify the master
PC. You must apply power to the master PC to use controller software
applications on the dependent PCs.
