Owner's Manual

Here are some important cabling rules to follow:

· Computers should never be connected directly

together on a network. They should always be con-

nected to a hub.

· The maximum cable length from a node to a

10BaseT or 100BaseTX repeater, switch, or hub is

100 meters (328 feet).

· Only two 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hubs can be cas-

caded, (or uplinked), together. To cascade more than

two 100Mbps hubs, a switch must be used.

· The maximum distance between 2 100BaseTX hubs

(or the Analog Router and a 100BaseTX hub)

without a switch is 5 meters (16.4 feet).

· The maximum distance between 2 10BaseT hubs, (or

a 10BaseT hub and an Analog Router), is 100

meters (328 feet).
