User’s Guide

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a FriendlyNET dual speed hub.This 24-

port hub complies fully with IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.3u standards.

All ports accept twisted-pair cable and provide automatic media detection and

auto-negotiation of 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices.The hub also provides an

uplink push button for the 12th port, which can be cascaded to another hub via

straight-through cable.

The dual speed hub can be placed on a tabletop or rack mounted. With

unmatched ﬂexibility, it ensures efﬁcient operation in any LAN environment,

regardless of size.

LEDs

The LEDs on the front panel provide visual evidence of the status of the

following items:

❑

Hub power supply

❑

Transmission and collision indicator

❑

Connection (link) speed of 10Mbps or 100Mbps

If the power LED is OFF, check the following to isolate the problem:

❑

Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the power outlet

and is properly inserted into the power connection on the hub

❑

Determine whether the outlet is functional by plugging another

device into it

Hub Ports

There are twenty-four RJ-45 connectors on the front panel.The 10Mbps

or100Mbps speed of each port is automatically determined when you connect

the hub to 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx devices.

Normal/Uplink Push Button

One Normal/Uplink push button is located at the right end of the front panel.

You can use it to change the connection mode of the 12th port on the hub, for

connecting to either a PC or another hub.The default setting is in the Normal

(MDI-X) position, which is the “out” position.The port is conﬁgured to

connect with a PC when the button is in this position. When the push button is

pressed in (MDI), it allows you to connect with another hub using straight-

through twisted pair cable. See “Interconnecting Hubs” for details.

Rear Panel Information

The following sections describe the elements of the rear panel of the

FriendlyNET 2024P Dual Speed Hub.

Power Cord Connector (100-240VAC)

The power cord connector may be connected to any power source within the

indicated voltage range.The internal power supply switch will automatically set

the appropriate voltage.

Power Control Switch

Use this switch to power the unit off when connecting it to a power source, and

power it on when it is properly connected to power.Installation

Thefollowingsections covertheproceduresyou needto followin orderto place

your FriendlyNET 2024P Dual Speed Hub and connect it to workstations or

other hubs.

Placing or Rack Mounting the Hub

The FriendlyNET 2024P Dual Speed Hub is supplied with two mounting

brackets, six screws, and four rubber feet for mounting the rack or placing it on

a ﬂat surface.

Placing the Hub on a ﬂat surface

Apply the four rubber feet near the four corners of the

bottom of the unit.

Put the unit on the ﬂat surface.

Mounting the Hub in a Rack

Place a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on

each end of the unit.

Insert each screw through the bracket and into a mounting

hole in the hub as shown in Figure 4.

Insert the unit into your 13-inch rack.

Connecting Stations to Hub Ports

Use the following procedure to connect a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet

server or workstation to the hub.

Keep in mind that you can connect or disconnect network cable segments from

the hub while the power is on. plugging in or removing network cables while

your hub is running will not interrupt the operation of the hub.

Make sure that the length of the straight-through cable

between the hub and the station does not exceed 100

meters, including all patch cables and cross connect wires.

10Base-T twisted pair Ethernet cabling should be to Cate-

gory 3 standards, and 100Base-TX twisted pair Fast Eth-

ernet cabling should be to Category 5 standards.

Connectoneend ofthe cableto the RJ-45connector onthe

hub, and the other end to the workstation or server, as

shown in Figure 5.

Interconnecting Hubs

Use the following procedure to connect your FriendlyNET 2024P Dual Speed

Hub to another hub in a cascading conﬁguration.

Obtain a straight-through cable (Category 3 for 10Mbps

only, Category 5 for all others) that does not exceed 5

meters in length, including all patch cables and cross con-

nect wires.

Connect one end of the cable to the 12th (uplink) port of

your hub.

Connect the other end of the cable to any port of the other

hub

except

the uplink port on that hub.The connections

should be as shown in Figure 6.

Press the Uplink button next to the 12th port on your hub.

Figure 6 Interconnecting two hubs

You can connect hubs together using other ports than the uplink port, but in

this case, you must use a cross-over cable.
