INTRODUCTION

AOpen 10/100Mbps SOHO Hubs give users a simple,

cost effective and reliable solution that upgrades network

performance. With 10/100Mbps plug-and-play dual

speed ports equipped in its compact size, it is possible to

achieve the coexistence of 10Mbps and 100Mbps

devices in a single network now and step to 100Mbps

network in the future. Network expansion is made easy

with the uplink port, used for connecting to another

10/100Mbps hub, located on the front panel. Each port

supports NWAY function.

With its compact size, lightweight and sleek design, the

AOpen SOHO Hub can easily be placed on a desktop

and installed. Furthermore, it provides

Power/Collision/100M and Link/Activity LED indicators for

simplified management.

Features

Key features are:

• 5/8-port 10/100Mbps SOHO Hub

• Compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T

Ethernet and IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast

Ethernet industry standards.

• With built-in switch function, it automatically

transfers packets between 10Mbps and 100Mbps

connections.

• LED indicators for power, 10Mbps collision,

100Mbps collision, 10M Link/Activity, 100M

Link/Activity and expansion port full-duplex status.

• Bridge Uplink port for easy expansion, which

supports uplink distance up to 100 meters.

• External AC power adapter.

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

This section identifies all the major external components

of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown,

followed by a description of each panel feature. The

indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter.

Front Panel

The figure below shows the front panels of the Hub.

AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub

AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub

• LED Indicator Panel

Refer to the LED Indicator section for detailed

information about each of the hub’ s LED

indicators.

Rear Panel

AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub

AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub

• DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an

external AC power adapter. Check the technical

specification section for information about the AC

power input voltage.

• MDI-X Jacks: Use these jacks to connect

stations to the hub. These are MDI-X (Medium-

Dependent Interface, Cross-wired) jacks, which

mean, you can use ordinary straight-through

twisted-pair cables to connect user machines and

servers to the hub through them. If you need to

connect another device with an MDI-X jack, such

as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should

use a crossover cable, or make the connection

using the MDI-II jack (described below).

• Uplink Jack(s) (MDI-II): Use this jack to connect

stations to the hub. This is MDI-II (Medium-

dependent Interface, straight-wired) jack, which

means you can connect the hub to a device with a

MDI-X port using an ordinary straight-through

cable.

LED Indicators

AOH-605 5-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub

AOH-608 8-port SOHO 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub

• Power Indicator (PWR)

When this indicator lights green, the hub is receiving

power, otherwise. it is off.

• Expansion switch port full duplex status (EXP-

FDX)

When this indicator lights green, the expansion switch

port active on full-duplex mode.

• 100M Collision (COL 100M)

This indicator indicates there is data collisions on the

respective 100Mbps Fast Ethernet segments of the

hub. Whenever a collision is detected, this COL 100M

indicator will briefly blink amber.

• 10M Collision (COL 10M)

This indicator indicates data collisions on the

respective 10Mbps Ethernet segments of the hub.

Whenever a collision is detected, this COL 10M

indicator will briefly blink amber.

Note. Since collisions occur frequently on a network

with many nods, the LED flashes more rapidly as the

number of users or network traffic increases.

• 10M Link/Activity (Link/Act. 10M)

When this indicator lights green, the port is connected

to a 10Mbps Ethernet card or hub. When the LED is

blinking green, it indicates the data is

receiving/sending from the network and is processed

by the hub. If the LED does not light on, It means the

cable link is not established or the port is connected to

a 100Mbps Ethernet card or hub.

• 100M Link/Activity (Link/Act. 100M)

When this indicator lights green, the port is connected

to a 100Mbps Ethernet card or hub. When the LED is

blinking green, it indicates the data is

receiving/sending from the network and is processed

by the hub. If the LED does not light on, It means the

cable link is not established or the port is connected to

a 10Mbps Ethernet card or hub.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

This chapter discusses how to connect end nodes, and

uplink two hubs together.

Connecting to computers

After the hub is properly installed, it can support up to

five/eight computers.

1. Insert one end of the UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)

Category 5 cable into the RJ-45 connector that is

numbered from 1 to 8 of AOH-608 (or 1 to 5 of AOH-

605). Please orient the cable correctly and push it

into the connector until you hear a click.

2. Please make sure that the maximum length of the

cable from your computer to the hub does not exceed

100 meters.

3. After connecting to the hub, please check if the Link

LEDs on the adapter card and the hub (Link/Act) are

lit up.

Connecting to Hub or Switch

The hubs are only connected by uplink port

1. Plug on end of the UTP Category 5 Cable connector

into the Uplink port of the first hub.

2. Plug the other end into the ordinary port of the

second hub.

Note. Crossover cable is not necessary in establishing

uplink connection through uplink port.

It is important to know that the uplink port of AOpen

SOHO Hub with a SWITCH port. You can use this uplink

port connect two hubs together with maximum distance

up to 100 meters. It also support bridge function, which

provides scalable network expansion (unlimited

expandability!!)
