2.4 Notice for network connection
With a hub(s), FELCOM500/FELCOM250 can establish a network configuration. If the hub(s) is
connected in loop form, the FELCOM500/FELCOM250 may not function normally.
Never connect as follows:
Note: If you install a switching hub that does not have an automatic function to distinguish straight/
cross (MDI/MDI-X) connections, you will need to select a proper cable:
• Use a straight connection cable for an MDI to MDI-X connection.
• Use a cross connection cable for an MDI to MDI or MDI-X to MDI-X connection.
Generally, it is advisable to use an auto MDI/MDI-X switching hub.
