Installation Guide for the Model EN516 Ethernet Hub Figure 3-4 illustrates multiple hubs cascaded in a daisy-chain style. 1 Model EN516 hub 2 Model EN516 hub 3 Model EN516 hub 000029EA Key: 1 = Model EN516 hub with Normal/Uplink push button set to Normal position 2 and 3 = Model EN516 hub with Normal/Uplink push button set to Uplink position Figure 3-4. Cascading multiple hubs daisy-chain style through the RJ-45 ports Note: Each twisted pair cable between two hubs is counted as one network segment. When cascading hubs daisy-chain style through the twisted pair cable, stay within Ethernet speciﬁcations and make sure the total hub count does not exceed ﬁve hubs. Connecting to the BNC Port The BNC port at the rear panel of the Model EN516 hub is used for connecting to a thin coaxial segment. You can connect servers, workstations, or other devices to the BNC port or several Model EN516 hubs as shown in Figure 3-5. By using the BNC port for cascading, you treat each connected hub as just another node on the coaxial segment. When using the BNC interface, follow these steps: 1. Insert the BNC T-connector on the BNC port of the Model EN516 hub. 2. Connect the coaxial cable that leads from a device on the network to one of the self-locking ends of the BNC T-connector.
