How do I connect the HP 100Base-T Hub-12TX/TXM Switch Port Module to an HP Switch 800T?
The Advancestack Hub-12 TX/TXM Switch Port Module (TX or FX) can be connected to an external Switch 800T. The maximum distance for TX is 100 meters from the Hub to the Switch and 2 kilometers for FX with both ends set at full duplex. The Switch Port Module allows your network to increase the bandwidth to full duplex and connect groups between buildings with 2-kilometer fiber cable. To connect ports on the Switch Port Module to the Switch 800T, follow these steps: • In the Hub-12TX or Hub-12TXM, there is Switch Port Module with a TX or FX port. Connect this port to the Switch 800T using Category 5 UTP/STP cable or fiber-optic cable, respectively. Check that the “Link/Traffic” and “FDX” LEDs are lit. • To prove that the connection between the switch and hub is working, retrieve and open a file from another server connected through the Switch 800T. For example, in the above illustration a manufacturing user would copy a file from the Engineering Server because the Switch 800T is between t
