Ethernet cabling via twisted pair cable (OKC machines only)
How to connect OKC machines via twisted pair cable (100BASE T) and a hub:
Components needed:
- 100BASE-T twisted pair (RJ 45) UTP Category 5e
- Hub (4 times)
or
Hub (16 times)

Cable installations via twisted pair cables and a hub are suitable for smaller distances (up to 100 meters) between the installations that are to be interconnected.
- 1
- Shut down the unit and switch it off
- 2
- Plug the cable with the western connector (RJ 45) into the corresponding port on the unit or transceiver.
- 3
- Plug other cable ends into the hub.
- 4
- Adjust the hub settings at the back of the switch.
Set MDIswitch to MDI-X if all ports are allocated to CMS-TC or other terminals
or if an additional hub is connected to the allocated port on MDI.
Set AUI switch to OFF - 5
- Install power supply for the hub.
Do not exceed the maximum cable length limit.
When installing cable, keep the latter away from electric supply lines, transformers and electric motors.
When installing new cable, use only UTP cable of Category 5e.
