Before You Start Your OfficeConnect Dual Speed Hub 8 comes with: 3 One power adapter for use with the Hub 3 One power cord 3 A Warranty Registration card for you to fill out and return 3 Four rubber feet 3 Four stacking clips 3 An OfficeConnect Product Range sheet 3 This guide Workstation Connections To connect workstations or other equipment (such as servers) to your Hub, you need: 1 One 10BASE-T, 10/100BASE-TX, or 100BASE-TX adapter card for each workstation. 3Com produce a range of easy to install network adapters, which provide your workstation with a suitable connection. 2 One suitable TP cable for each workstation. In order to comply with the 10BASE-T standard, ports designed for workstation connections have been marked with the graphical symbol 'X'. This denotes a crossover in the port's internal wiring, for example 1X, 2X, 3X... You also need a network operating system running on your workstations. Twisted Pair (TP) Cables To connect your workstations and other equipment to the Hub, use 'straight-through' TP cables with RJ45 connectors (all OfficeConnect products use RJ45 type connectors). A 'straight-through' cable is one where each pin of one connector is connected to the same pin of the other connector. Cables can be shielded (screened) or unshielded; we recommend that you use shielded cable. Cables used for 100BASE-TX or 10/100BASE-TX connections must be data grade (Category 5). Your supplier should stock suitable cables. The maximum length of a single cable is 100m (328ft). Refer to "Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) Configuration Rules" on page 5 for further information on cable lengths in a 100Mbps network. Hub Connections To connect other OfficeConnect units to your Hub, you need one suitable TP cable for each unit. Using the Rubber Feet and Stacking Clips The four self-adhesive rubber feet prevent your Hub from sliding around on your desk. Stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your Hub. The four stacking clips are used for neatly and securely stacking your OfficeConnect units together. You can stack up to four units. Small units must be stacked above large units. To stack your units, secure the clips on one side and then on the other. Use the following method to secure one side: 1 Place your new unit on a flat surface. Your clips fit in these positions on the side of the unit: 2 Position a clip over one of these holes and push it in until it clicks into place. Repeat this for the other clip position on the same side. 3 Keeping the front of the units aligned, rest the bottom of the existing unit on the clips' spikes. Push the clips firmly into the existing unit until they click into place. Repeat these steps to secure the other side. To remove a clip, hold the units firmly with one hand and hook the first finger of your other hand around the back of the clip. Use reasonable force to pull it off. 3
