Cabling and Start Up



Take Out What You Need

When you unpack the box that contains your Cisco 1538 Series Micro Hub, you should find the items shown below.


If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support.


Note You need to supply Category 3, 4, or 5 straight-through or crossover cables to connect the hub to other Ethernet devices.



Connect the Hub to Other Network Devices



Note Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports when one of the ports is designated with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect two ports when both ports are designated with an X.

You can change the designation of port 5 by using the MDI/MDI-X button. When the button is IN, the port is not crossed. When the button is OUT (default), the port is crossed.

Connect the Hub to Servers, Routers, and Workstations

Connect the Hub to Switches and Other Hubs



Connect the Hub to Other Network Devices (continued)


Connect the Console Cable

    1. Make sure console port settings of the hub match the settings of the terminal, PC, or laptop. The default settings of the hub console port are 9600 baud,
    8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and
    no flow control.

    2. Connect the rollover console cable to the CONSOLE port on the hub.

    3. Connect the other end of the rollover cable to your terminal, PC, or laptop
    (if necessary, use an appropriate adapter, such as the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter).

    4. From your terminal, PC, or laptop, start the terminal emulation program.

Power Up the Hub

    1. Connect one end of the power cord to the hub and the other end to a power source.

    2. Wait approximately 2 minutes for the hub to complete its power-on self-test (POST).



Assign IP Information to the Hub

The hub is designed to operate with little or no user intervention. In most cases, you can use it with its default settings.

Assign IP information to the hub so that you can use the Cisco 1538 Hub Manager web-based interface and so that the hub can communicate with local routers and the intranet.

Contact your system administrator for the hub IP information, and record it here.

Hub IP address:


Subnet mask:


Default gateway:


    1. From the terminal or PC, enter Y:

Continue with configuration dialog? Y
 

    2. Enter the IP address (for example: 10.1.105.20):

Enter IP address: 10.1.105.20
 

    3. Enter the subnet mask (IP netmask)
    (for example: 255.255.255.0):

Enter IP netmask: 255.255.255.0

    4. Enter the IP address of the default gateway (for example: 10.1.105.254):

Enter IP default gateway: 10.1.105.254
 

The following information is displayed:

The following configuration command script was created:
ip address 10.1.105.20 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway 10.1.105.254
!
end

    5. Enter Y:

Use this configuration? Y

The following information is displayed:

Building configuration...
Use the enabled mode `configuration' command to modify this configuration.
 
Press RETURN to get started.

    6. Press Return.

    7. Exit from the terminal session.

You can now display the Cisco 1538 Hub Manager.



Display the Cisco 1538 Hub Manager

If you have the IP address to the hub, you can display the Cisco 1538 Hub Manager from your intranet. You can use the Cisco 1538 Hub Manager to configure and monitor the hub.

    1. Start Netscape Communicator (4.03 or higher) or Microsoft Internet Explorer
    (4.01 or higher). Make sure that Java and Ja
    vaScript are enabled.

    2. Enter the IP address of the hub in the URL field if you are using Communicator
    (the Address field if you are using Internet Explorer).


Note The Cisco 1538 Series Micro Hub 10/100 Installation and Configuration Guide and the Cisco 1538 Hub Manager online help provide complete information about the web console and describe how to configure and monitor the hub.
