Quick Installation
Hewlett-Packard’s Hub-12TX/Hub-12TXM models each contain
12 Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX, RJ-45 (MDI-X) ports, one MDI
cascade port, and one Expansion Slot for an optional connection
using 10/100TX and 100FX Switch Port Module. The Hub-24TX
contains 24 Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX, RJ-45 (MDI-X) ports,
and one MDI cascade port.
The design built into the front display panel and configuration
options provides a friendly interface that simplifies installation
and network troubleshooting. If you are already familiar with
basic network operations, you should be able to install this hub
as described below:
1. Unpack the HP 100Base-T unit.
2. Find a location close to the network devices you need to
connect, and within easy reach of an electrical outlet.
3. Mount the hub on a desktop or any other flat surface. If you
are installing multiple hubs, you can stack them on top of
each other (after attaching the foot pads), or install them in a
standard EIA 19-inch rack. Note that these hubs do not
support wall mounting. See Chapter 2 for more details.
4. Connect any devices that use a standard 100Base-TX RJ-45
connector to the RJ-45 (MDI-X) station ports (for example,
a workstation or server). Use 100
W Category 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) or 100
W shielded twisted-pair (STP)
cable. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair
connection does not exceed 100 meters. (Refer to Chapter
2 for a more detailed description of calculating the maximum
cable length permitted between two end nodes.)
5. If you are stacking multiple hubs, connect the Stacking
Cable between the Stacking Ports (
Out and In), found on the
rear panel of the hub, on adjacent hubs. Run a simple chain
starting at the
Out port on the first managed hub (Hub-
