Note You need to supply Category 3, 4, or 5 straight-through or crossover cables to connect to 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.

Connect the Hub to Servers, Routers, and Workstations

Connect the Hub to Switches and Other Hubs



Connect the Hub to Other Network Devices (continued)


(Optional) Install the Switched Uplink Module in the Hub

    1. Power off the hub.

    2. Remove and set aside the screws attaching the faceplate to expansion slot on the hub. The screws will be used later in Step 6.

    3. Remove the faceplate from the hub and store it for future use.

    4. Slide the module into the slot card-guides until you feel it touch the back of the hub.

    5. Push the module firmly until it snaps into place and is firmly seated.

    6. Insert and tighten the screws on the module faceplate.

    7. Power on the hub.

(Optional) Connect to the Switched Uplink Module Port

Insert a connector according to the type of module (10/100 or 100BaseFX), as follows:


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.



Connect the Hub to Other Network Devices (continued)


(Optional) Connect the Console Cable

    1. Make sure console port settings of the FastHub 400M model 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.


Note You can use the internal power supply and the Cisco 600W AC Redundant Power System (RPS). Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS receptacle.

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



(Optional) 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 FastHub 400M model so that you can use the FastHub 400 series 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 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
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 FastHub 400 series Hub Manager.



(Optional) Display the FastHub 400 Series Hub Manager

If you have the IP address to the hub, you can display the FastHub 400 series Hub Manager from your intranet. You can use the FastHub 400 series 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 FastHub 400 10/100 Series Installation and Configuration Guide and the
FastHub 400 10/100 series Hub Manager online help provide complete information about the web console and describe how to configure and monitor the hub.
