2. Install a 10 or 100 Mbps (10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX)
network adapter card and driver in each
computer you want to network.
3. Prepare straight-through
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
plugs. Attach one end of the
cable to the RJ-45 port of the
computer’s network adapter
card and the other end to any
available port on the hub.
Notes: If you are using port 8, be
sure the Daisy-Chain switch is set to "COMPUTER."
Cascade Devices to the Hub
If you need more ports, connect a station port on another
device to the cascade port on the Zilla hub with straight-
through twisted-pair cable, maximum 5 meters (19.68 feet).
1. To make a direct connection to another compatible hub or
switch, use the RJ-45 cascade port 8. Set the port
selection switch to HUB and then
connect to any station port on the
other device. Alternatively, you
can connect from any RJ-45
station port on the hub to an
uplink port on the other device.
2. Prepare straight-through shielded
or unshielded twisted-pair cables
with RJ-45 plugs at both ends.
Use 100
Š Category 3, 4 or 5
cable for standard 10Mbps
Ethernet connections, or 100
Š
Category 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet connections. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that
it is properly seated.
Notes: 1. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not
exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
2. To connect to another hub or switch, you may
also attach to station ports at both ends if you
use crossover cabling.
