FlexCenter 200 100Fx Fiber Module:
Since the IEEE 802.3 standard defines the Ethernet 10Base-FL fiber (850 nm) differ-
ently than the Fast Ethernet 100Base-Tx (1300 nm), it should be noted that they are
incompatible. The 100Fx module supports 100Base-Fx and can be operated in half-
or full-duplex modes of operation.
Mode Control Switches
This switch controls the half / full-duplex operation of the fiber port. Half-duplex
should be used when connecting to another hub (with a shared / non-switched fiber
port) or a workstations fiber NIC that supports only half-duplex. Full-duplex can be
used when connecting to a switch or a NIC card that supports full-duplex operation.

FlexCenter STK Module:
Does not require any switches or displays.
SITE PREPARATION
The following are the minimal physical location preparations needed:
a. Power - A power outlet should be available within 5 feet of the unit.
b. Cabling - The following cabling should be used:
1. 10Base-T / UTP - Ideally the site should be cabled with category 5 wiring to
maximize performance but a category 3 or better is acceptable (100 ohms, 24
AWG solid copper).
2. 100Base-Tx / UTP - The site should be cabled with category 5 wiring to
maximize performance (100 ohms, 24 AWG solid copper).
3. 100Base-Fx / Fiber - Use 50/125, 62.5/125 or 100/140 micron multimode fiber
or 9/125 micron single-mode fiber.
UNPACKING
a. Visual Inspection - Before unpacking, a visual inspection should be conducted in
order to detect any physical damage to the equipment. Any evidence of damage
should be noted and reported immediately.
b. Unpacking - Place shipping container on a flat surface, cut straps or tape, open
top. Take out each item carefully and place securely on a clean flat surface.
Return all packing material into container (foam, boxes etc.), close and store away
for future reuse.
c. Inspection - Inspect each item for any apparent damage. Any evidence of damage
should be noted and reported immediately.
INVENTORY
Review content; the following items should be included:
(1) FlexCenter 200 unit.
(1) Power cord.
(1) User Manual (this document).
Please note any missing items or discrepancies and report them immediately.
INSTALLATION
Cabling and Power-Up
a. When using the hub “stand alone”, set the Stack Control Switch to the up “Base”
position (factory setting).
