Installation Procedures

Prepare the Site

Before you begin installing your hub, prepare the installation site. Make sure your operating environment meets the operating environment requirements of the equipment.
Characteristic Temperature Requirement Ambient temperature between 0 and 40 C (32 and 104 F). No nearby heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, or heaters. Maximum relative humidity of 90%, noncondensing. Minimum 2 inches (5.08 cm) on all sides for cooling. Adequate airflow in room or wiring closet. At least 6 feet (1.83 m) to nearest source of electromagnetic noise (such as photocopy machine or arc welder). Minimum 12 inches (19.68 cm) front and back for service access and maintenance. Front and back clearance for cables and wiring hardware such as punchdown blocks. Adequate power source within 6 feet (1.83 m). Wiring hardware, such as punchdown blocks or patch panels, should be complete before installing the hub.
Operating humidity Ventilation Operating conditions Service access

Power Wiring hardware

Install the Hub
To install your hub on a flat surface, you do not need any special tools. Be sure the hub is positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation. To install the hub on a wall, measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the hub and mark the wall to match the location of the mounting holes on the hub. At the marked location, screw into the wall the two screws that you received with the mounting kit included in your package contents. Be sure to choose a location that is near the devices to be connected, is close to an electrical outlet, and provides at least 2 inches of space all around the hub for ventilation.

Connect a PC to the Hub

You can connect PCs, Apple Macintosh computers, UNIX workstations, or any device equipped with a 10BASE-T Ethernet interface to the RJ-45 ports on your hub by using twisted pair Ethernet cables.
To connect any of the RJ-45 ports on your hub to a PC, use a regular straight-through UTP cable. If you are connecting using port 4 on the Model EN104TP hub, port 6 on the Model EN106TP hub, or port 8 on the Model EN108TP hub, set the Normal/Uplink push button to Normal.

(The Model EN106TP hub is shown in the illustration.)

Normal/Up link

Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between your PC or server and the hub to 328 feet (100 meters) in length.
Connect the Hub to a Network
Cascading refers to connecting hubs together to increase the number of ports or the number of users supported on the network. The 10BASE-T ports can be used to cascade hubs together. The twisted pair cable extended from a 10BASE-T port (or UTP port) is called a twisted pair segment and can be up to 100 meters (m) in length. The 10BASE-T ports, with the exception of port 4 on the Model EN104TP hub, port 6 on the Model EN106TP hub, or port 8 on the Model EN108TP hub, are MDI-X (or Normal) ports. Use the following table as a guide for selecting the appropriate network cable.

Wrong or miswired cables are used. Make sure the correct UTP cables are used. See the table in the installation section of this guide for cable use and Normal/Uplink push button information. Note that home telephone cables can cause a collision condition and cannot be used in place of UTP cables. Check for a bad cable, cable pairs that are not correctly wired, or loose connectors. Make sure that there is power to both the hub and the Ethernet transceiver on the connected device. Make sure the port has not been partitioned.

Technical Specifications Cable and Connector Information
Twisted Pair Cables For two devices to communicate, the transmitter of each device must be connected to the receiver of the other device. The crossover function is usually implemented internally as part of the circuitry in the device. Most ports on switches and repeaters have media-dependent interfaces with crossover ports. These ports are referred to as MDI-X or Normal ports. Computer and workstation adapter cards are usually media-dependent interface ports referred to as MDI or Uplink ports. The figures illustrate the use of straight-through and crossover twisted pair cables.

Collisions are Data collision is normal on Ethernet networks. No action occurring on is required. the network. Collisions are occurring on the network, because the network is busy or is defective devices are connected on the network. Wrong or miswired cables are used. Make sure connected devices are operating in halfduplex mode. The hub is not compatible with devices that operate in full-duplex mode. If you suspect that there might be a defective device on the network, disconnect devices one at a time to isolate the defective unit on the network. If the network is extremely busy, you may have to segment the network with an Ethernet switch such as a NETGEAR Ethernet switch or to upgrade your network to Fast Ethernet operation. Make sure the correct UTP cables are used. See the table in the installation section of this guide for cable use and Normal/Uplink push button information. Note that home telephone cables can cause a collision condition and cannot be used in place of UTP cables. Check for a bad cable, cable pairs that are not correctly wired, or loose connectors.
