Plug and Play Installation

The Asanté BNC Hub/6 is designed for plug and play installation. Before you

connect the hub to other devices, there are several things you should keep

in mind:

❏ When connecting two Ethernet devices (such as a hub,

Ethernet adapter, or BNC MAU) together, you must make

sure that the total cable length is not less than 0.5

meters (1.6 feet).

❏ Network cable segments can be connected to or discon-

nected from the hub while the power is on. Plugging in

or removing network cable segments while the hub is

operating will not interrupt the operation of the hub.

❏ When you install the hub, you must avoid dusty loca-

tions, and avoid electromagnetically noisy areas.

∆ A terminator is not required on unused BNC ports.
