The AsantéFAST 100 TX/FX Hub can be stacked with AsantéFAST 100 TX Hubs. 
A maximum of 15 hubs can be stacked.
1. Place hub on flat surface (ensure power is off before stacking hubs).
2. Remove protective label from top of hub to expose expansion slot.
3. Insert expansion card into slot, pressing firmly to snap into place.
4. Take next hub and remove label from bottom of hub to expose slot.
5. Carefully place this hub directly on top of first hub, ensuring expansion card is
properly fitted in slots, then press firmly to snap into place.
6. Install stack mounting brackets on both sides and rear of hubs (as indicated in
Frame 4) using screws provided to secure connection of hubs.
7. Repeat steps “2 through 6” for each hub added to stack.
8. Connect each power cord to each hub in stack.
9. Power up the hubs.

1. Place the hub on a flat surface.
2. Connect power cord and turn on power switch on rear panel of the hub.
3. Connect Category 5 UTP cable into 100BASE-TX RJ45 port on front of the hub.
4. Connect the other end of the Category 5 UTP cable to the 100BASE-TX Ethernet
device (100 meters maximum).
Note:
With both ends connected, the Hub’s Link/Receive LED port should be on
when the 100BASE-TX Ethernet device is turned on.
5. Connect the multimode fiber optic cable (with an SC connector) to the FX fiber
port on the front of the hub.
6. Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable to a backbone connection.
Note:
The collision domain diameter for a single AsantéFAST 100 TX/FX Hub
configuration must be less than 308 meters.

Single Stack Configuration (One Class II
Repeater Rule) — Building a Stack
5
1. Start with a single hub configuration.
2. As demand for ports increases, add hubs to the stack (as described in ”Setting Up
Stacked Hub Configuration.”)
3. Add an AsantéFAST 100 TX/FX Hub to the stack, if a greater distance backbone
connection is required.
4. Continue to add hubs to a maximum of 15 hubs in a single stack.
Note:
In a single stacked hub configuration, the maximum length of the fiber optic
cable is 208 meters.

Building a Second Stack (Two Class II
Repeaters Rule)
6
1. If demand for ports increases beyond a single stack, another stack needs to be built.
2. Start with a single hub configuration for the second hub.
3. Connect Category 5 UTP cable (maximum 5 meters) from the Uplink port in the first
stack to any 100BASE-TX RJ45 port in the second stack.
4. If demand for ports increases beyond this configuration, add hubs to the stack as
described in ”Setting Up Stacked Hub Configuration” and “Building a Stack.”
Note:
In a two-stacked hub configuration, the maximum length of the fiber optic
cable is 111 meters.
