Frequently Asked Hub Product Questions

Questions:

1. Can I connect one 4000H or 4710H into another? How do I do that?
2. I have a Personal Hub 510H/910H/1710, and I cannot connect using the last UTP port on the hub. What is wrong?
3. Can I cascade my 510H, and what is the maximum number of HUB that I can cascade?
4. Can I cascade my 910H to another 910H and what is the maximum number of HUB that I can cascade?
5. Port #1 LED on MIL-910H is always flashing from green to yellow back and forth. Why?

Answers:

• Yes. Use a cross-over cable (1-3,2-6,3-1,6-2) if you go front to front or back to back. You can use a straight cable and go front to back or purchase a MIL-4310M. If you have the MIL-4310M micro module then you do not need a cross-over cable.

• The last ports on these personal hubs are preset for cascading to another hub or repeater device. Check and make sure the switch is not on Cascade, and that you're using the correct UTP cable (straight to PC and swap to hub).

• Yes, all you need to do is to connect port #5 of your HUB to port #4 of the 2nd 510H and so on using Straight UTP cable that supplied with the unit also make sure that the cascade switch is switch to cascade position, instead of Normal.. Remember that you can only cascade up to 4 Hubs (510H) allowing for a total of 14 workstations.

• Yes. all you need to do is to connect port #9 of your HUB to port #8 of the 2nd 910H and so on using Straight UTP cable that supplied with the unit also make sure that the cascade switch is switch to cascade position, instead of Normal.. Remember that you can only cascade up to 4 Hubs (910H) allowing for a total of 26 workstations.

• There is nothing wrong with the HUB or your network. That is just how the unit is designed. Just simply connect any network BNC, if any, to that port with a terminator if that is the last device in the segment, the LED will no longer behaves that way.
