Introduction

This switch is a low-cost, easy-to-use, high-performance, standard switch to upgrade your old 10 Mbps network to a 100 Mbps network. It boosts your network performance up to full duplex data transfer, and it can forward packets as fast as the packets are delivered to the switch. Each port can be used as a general port or as an uplink port for another switch, and will automatically switch its configuration appropriately.

Features

• Complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standards.

• 5 (DX-ESW5) or 8 (DX-ESW8) 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports supporting Auto MDI/MDIX.

• Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode and backpressure for half-duplex mode.

• Supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging.

• LED indicators for monitoring power, link, and activity.

•Plastic case.

•External ACpower adapter.

Setting up the switch

To set up the switch:

1 Place the switch flat on a tabletop or use the enclosed screws to hang it ver-

tically on a wall. Be sure to leave enough space around the switch for good ventilation.

2 Don’t place heavy objects on the switch. 3 Connect the AC power adapter to the switch, then plug the adapter into an

AC power outlet. The switch turns on and initializes by blinking the LEDs and turning on the Power LED.

4 Connect your network cables to the switch.

Identifying switch components

Although the following illustrations show the DX-ESW8, the DX-ESW5 is similar.

RONT PANEL

The LED indicators on the front panel are used for monitoring and troubleshooting the switch.

Power LED : This indicator turns on when the switch is plugged into an AC power

outlet. If the LED is not on, check the power adapter connections.

Link/Act LEDs: These indicators show link and activity status. The port’s LED indi-

cator turns green when a device is connected to that port. The indicator flashes when data is being transmitted or received on the port.

EAR PANEL

Link/Act

The rear panel of the DX-ESW8 consists of eight 10/100 Mbps RJ- 45 ports. All ports can be the uplink port, so you can disregard the

Uplink mark under Port 8.
