FCC Certifications

This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at the user own expense.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

received; including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CE Mark Warning

This equipment complies with the requirements relating to
electromagnetic compatibility, EN 55022 class A for ITE, the essential
protection requirement of Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
electromagnetic compatibility.

The device is a powerful, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch,
with all ports capable of 10, 100 or 1000Mbps auto-negotiation
operation (NWay), which means the switch could automatically
negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and
duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into
smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the
bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover,
the 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to
migrate 10/100Mbps to 1000Mbps network with no pain. Compared to
the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers a
dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to every attached client with
no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports auto MDI /
MDI-X function. Each port could be used to connect to another switch
or hub with no crossover RJ-45 cable.

Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus
eliminates all the network errors, including runt and CRC error packets.
To work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of the
frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as
double the network bandwidth.

The switch provides 9K bytes jumbo frames, which means the frames
size is larger than normal 1.5K. With the Jumbo frame function, you can
get better network performance, because the switch can send more
data at the same time.

The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also
fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols.

Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one
RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other
RJ-45 connector into the station’s network adapter. Power on the
switch and then system is ready.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.

In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to connect
another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the ports support
auto MDI / MDI-X function, using a straight cable to make a
switch-to-switch connection is allowed.

For cable selection, refer to the following table:
