CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause
interference to radio communication. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC
rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to
take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

Introduction
Designed in reliable metal case, LB9007A-SC-R3 is a compact size Fast Ethernet switch that has 7
ports 10/100Base-TX plus 1 port FX with multi-mode SC connector. It is the internal power supply
version of LB8418A.
By using standard auto-negotiation and the inclusion of Auto-MDIX, LB9007A-SC-R3 provides a
cost-effective way of integrating legacy 10Mbps with 100Mbps networks while eliminating
problems arises from cabling difficulties. Auto-sensing MDI/MDIX allows every TX port on
LB9007A-SC-R3 automatically detect the Ethernet cable type (straight or crossover) being used and
make adjustment to link over that cable to another PC, switch or hub.
Fiber ports on LB9007A series accommodate various requirements on your network environment.
Products equipped with multi-mode SC or ST connectors are listed as LB9007A-SC-R3 &
LB9007A-ST-R3 respectively. MT-RJ, VF-45, LC and single mode fiber connectors with various
distances are available through special order. Please contact customer support at 724-246-5500 for
more information.
The bridging function of LB9007A series provides a solution for extending the distance between
two networks segments. The non-blocking switching architecture satisfies the great demand in
multimedia and imaging applications. LB9007A series meets a variety of installation requirements.
It is an economical solution providing multimedia networking with space conservation.

Installation
Selecting a Site for the Switch
As with any electronic device, you should place the switch where it will not be subject
to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the
site you select should meet the following requirements:
• The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to
40 degrees Celsius).
The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.
•
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
•
standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the
•
ventilation holes on the side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the rear of the
switch.
The power outlet should be within 1.8meter (6 feet) of the switch.
•
Connecting to Your Network
Connect network cables from computers or network segments to the TX ports on the
unit.
