HP 100Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference Guide
Quick Installation v
• Install the Switch Port Module on a non-isolated hub
in the stack and run a connection from the Switch Port
Module to a station port on the isolated hub.
When connecting a hub to the 10/100TX Switch Port
Module, the maximum cable length is 100 meters. This is a
bridged connection and keeps the collision domain on the
isolated hub separate from the main collision domain of the
other hubs in the stack.
If you do not have an available Switch Port Module, the
isolated hub can be connected to the stack collision domain
by the following method.
• Run straight-through, twisted-pair cable from the hub’s
MDI port to an MDI-X port on a switch or router. Make
sure the switch or router has RJ-45 ports; if not, attach a
standard MAU for the AUI port to achieve the
connection.
8. Connect the overall stack to the extended network by
connecting a hub to an internetwork device.
• Run straight-through, twisted-pair cable from the hub’s
MDI port to an MDI-X port on a switch, bridge or router.
Make sure the router has RJ-45 ports; if not, attach a
standard MAU for the AUI port to achieve the
connection.
Notes: 1. When using the 12MDI/24MDI port, remember that port
12MDI-X/24MDI-X cannot be used.
2. If you have hubs that are isolated in the stack, in order to
connect the stack collision domain to the network, use the
station port of a hub that is NOT isolated.
9. Verify network communications.
• you have made all the necessary connections
• you can access any connected resources
• the hub’s indicators are functioning properly
• the power cords for all connected devices are connected
to a valid power source
