2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot normally
requires no intervention beyond occasionally monitoring the Power
and Port Indicator LEDs.
The site for the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot must
provide:
•
AC power outlet for each LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet
Hub w/SIC Slot
•
•
•
Adequate ventilation
Standard environmental conditions
Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters
and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical
lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.

Monitoring Power LED
The green Power LED is illuminated when the LANMaster T8 8-Port
Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot is connected to external power.
And:
•
Since the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot
functions as an Ethernet repeater, the entire LANMaster T8
8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot installation should comply
with the IEEE Ethernet 802.3 specification.
Monitoring Port/Indicator LEDs
Each of the eight twisted pair ports has an associated LED:
•
•
steady green
data traffic is active on link
port has been partitioned.
•
RJ-45 connected cables should be configured as crossover
or straight through according to installation requirements.

Powering the LANMaster T8
Ensuring Compliance with 5-Segment Rule
To conform to the Ethernet 802.3 specification, when connecting
LANMaster T8 Hubs, the transmission path between any two Data
Terminating Equipment (DTE) devices can consist of no more than
five segments. NOTE: A segment is the cable connection between
cable interfaces in an Ethernet LAN.
To power ON the LANMaster T8:
1. At LANMaster T8 back, locate the power receptacle and
associated fuse.
NOTE: Fuse must be installed at correct setting for power source voltage
before connecting to AC outlet.
To assign segment numbers to cable connections:
1. Determine the two terminals in the network which are
separated by the greatest number of segments.
2. Verify that fuse is installed at correct setting for power source
voltage.
2. Assign a segment path between the terminals by labeling the
cable connected to one of the terminals “segment 1” and the
segment connected to the other terminal “segment n” (n =
total number of segments and must be 5 or fewer).
NOTE: The installed fuse rating is indicated by the reading at lower right
corner of fuse holder.
3. To verify that no segment paths contain more than n
segments, assign segment paths and numbers to all other
terminals.
If not installed at correct setting for power source voltage:

Ensuring Correct 10BaseT Configuration
The thinnet coaxial card (E-CX-SIC)
provides a BNC connector to 10Base2.
50 ohm terminator
The 10BaseT cable and RJ-45 connectors for Hub to Terminal
connections must be configured as straight through. The 10BaseT
cable and RJ-45 connectors for Hub to Hub connections must be
configured as crossover. NOTE: When installing the LANMaster T8
Hub using the MDI port, a crossover cable is not needed. The MDI
switch can be used to change the straight through configuration to
crossover at port 8.
NOTE: Verify that coax cables on
LANMaster T8 are terminated properly
at both ends. (In a coax thinnet
installation, the first and last device in
a daisy-chain must be terminated with
a 50 ohm terminator.)
