The maximum "network diameter" for 100Base-T is 367m, so we can use a
maximum of 367m - 344m, or 23m between the two hubs.
Providing Power to the Hub
1. Plug the adapter’s power cord into the hub’s receptacle.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC power source. When installing the HP
100Base-T Hub 8, note that the AC outlet must be located near the
equipment and should be easily accessible.
Note: The hub does not have a power switch; it is powered on when the power
adapter is plugged in.
Caution: Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the hub. Use of other
adapters, including those meant for other HP network products, may result
damage to the equipment and will void the warranty.
Verifying Port Status
Check each connection by viewing the port status indicators listed below.
(For a more detailed description of these indicators, refer to Chapter 4.)
Link/Activity Steady green indicates a valid link. Blinking green
indicates network activity.
Partition Indicates that the port has been isolated from the hub
because excessive collisions have been detected.
If the Link status indicator is not functioning properly, or you experience
any other difficulties in setting up the hub, refer to Appendix A.
