The hub detects all port connections, so you can
start using your network immediately. When you
need more ports, simply add more Office

If you are using port 8 to connect a workstation,
ensure the MDI/MDIX switch is set to MDIX.
If you do not use the 10BASE-2 (Coax) port, you do
not need to terminate it

You can increase the number of workstations that
can connect to your network by adding more
OfficeConnect hubs. You can use either 10BASE-T or
10BASE-2 (Coax) to do this:
■
With
10BASE-2 (Coax)
you can connect up to 30
hubs on a single segment, leaving all of the RJ45
ports free.
■
With 10BASE-T you can connect up to four hubs in
series.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the same two hubs
together using both 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 (Coax).
This causes a network loop.
