EtherWORKS Hub 8T

This document serves as an installation and configuration guide for the EtherWORKS Hub 8T repeater. It details the hub's features, which include its Ethernet 802.3 compliance, 9 ports with 10 connectors (comprising seven 8-pin MJ twisted-pair, one dual-purpose 8-pin MJ for multiple repeater configurations, and one Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) connector for media adaptation). The hub supports LED indicators for power, activity, collision, and port status, automatically partitions bad ports, and operates at 10 Mb/s.

The guide provides instructions for connecting the power adapter and outlines various network configurations, including single-repeater setups, and multiple-repeater arrangements such as tree, daisy-chain, and backbone connections using the AUI port. Important rules for repeater configurations, such as cable length limits and the maximum number of repeaters between network nodes, are also specified. Additionally, the document includes technical specifications like 8-pin MJ and AUI connector pin assignments, physical dimensions, weight, power requirements, and operating environment. Regulatory compliance notices for FCC, VCCI, and CE are also provided.
