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.

About This Manual
Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the 16 Ports Web-based Smart Ethernet Switch. The TX ports of the
switch introduced here auto-negotiates the presence of 10/100Mbps and full/half-duplex mode and auto-MDIX. In
addition, it allows an optional 100BaseFX multi-mode or single-mode fiber module, enabling long distance
connection.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an understanding of networking concepts such as bridging,
IEEE 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTX/FX Fast Ethernet, and local area networks (LANs).
For more information about these topics, please refer to the Appendices.
In this manual, you will find:
• Introduction on the Switch
• Product features
• Illustrative LEDs functions
• Installation instructions
• Specifications
