DataNET Copper Connections, Continued
DataNET Ports
See Figure 2-1. Each DataNET Hub board has nine DataNET ports. One
of the DataNET ports is dedicated to ‘uplink’ connections, which will
always be to another DNH. The uplink port (Port 9) is an uplink port while
the other ports (Port 1 through 8) are downlink ports.
Note that each of the four Downlink Port connectors contains wiring
connections for two DataNET port channels. The connector row (above
the downlink port connectors) marked Port 9 and Port 1 through Port 8
provides single port connector wiring for each of the eight channels.
These ports are used for making Fiber Optic connections and/or when
using a DataNET Hub Signal Equalizer Board.

Port Connections
To make wiring easier, all board-mounted connectors are equipped with
a removable plug wiring connector. Simply loosen the plug’s two top
recessed captive screws, grasp the connector and pull it straight out from
its mating connector.
Loosen the top wire retaining screws on the removed connector. Strip
the insulation ¼ -inch back from each of the input leads. Insert each lead
into the correct terminal. Tighten down each wire retaining screw. Plug
the connector back into the board connector and tighten down the two
recessed captive screws
