traverse through both hubs, for a cable equivalent length of 72m + 72m. This

gives:

100m

72m

+ 72m

--------

344m

The maximum “network diameter” for 100Base-TX is 367m, so we can use a

maximum of 367m - 344m, or 23m between the two hubs. Figure 3-2

illustrates this example.

Providing Power to the Hub

1. Power on the hub by plugging the power cord into the power socket at the

rear of the hub, and the other end into a power outlet.

2. Check the LED marked

Power on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit

will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage.

Therefore, no additional adjustments are necessary when connecting it to

any input voltage within the range marked on the rear panel.

Verifying Port Status

Check each connection by viewing the port status indicators listed below. (For

a more detailed description of these indicators, refer to Chapter 4.)

Link Indicates that the port has established a valid network connection.

Traffic Indicates traffic traversing the port.

Partition Indicates that the port has been isolated from the hub when pre-

defined collision threshold has been reached.
