[. . . ] A collision means that two or more stations have tried to transmit the same time. Frequent collisions may mean that network segment is congested. Lit when there is a good connection between the workstation and the port that is connected to. Blinking whenever a packet is transmitted or received. Blinking when the data is transmitted.

It is important that the pairings of wires in the modular plug match the pairs in the modular jack as well as the horizontal and backbone wiring. If they don't, the data being transmitted may be paired with incompatible signals. Pair 1 (Blue) Pair 2 (Green) Pair 3 (Orange) Pair 4 (Brown) INTERCONNECTION GUIDELINES The Ethernet Hub makes your various types of Ethernet networks interconnection comes true. Using the hub, you can efficiently build up and flexibly interconnect twisted-pair Ethernet networks. Furthermore, having great expansion capability, the hub keeps your existing coaxial Ethernet system still valuable, capable of connecting different Ethernet cabling systems together with wide range of configuration. No matter what kind of medium and configuration you choose to build up your network, certain guidelines must be observed. The Distance Guidelines of Twisted-pair Wire, Coaxial Cable.

Guidelines for the maximum Ethernet Network Length A maximum of three to four Ethernet hubs or repeaters may be attached within the path between any two stations, according to your network environment. 5 Referring to the understanding: following 6 examples 7 will improve your Establish a Basic Twisted-Pair Network 1. Placing the hub The hub should be located in a secure place accessible only to the network administrator. [. . . ] The open end of the T connector should be terminated with a 50 Ohms terminator. The maximum Ethernet network length via thin coax cable is 185M. 4. Connecting 10Base-2 Thin Coaxial Cabling To connect the 10Base-2 network, attach the cable's BNC T connector to the BNC port on the hub. [. . . ]
