Introduction
General Description
Easily boost your networking throughput, the rack-mountable
switch provides you 16 * 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit ports that
lead you to a real Gigabit connection. Users are now able to
transfer large and high bandwidth-needed files faster and
hence get a real efficiency improvement.
The switch offers users with fast and reliable network. The
store-and-forward architecture filters errors and forwards
packets in a non-blocking environment. Flow control ensures
the correctness of data transmitting. The 802.3x and
backpressure flow control mechanisms work respectively for
full and half duplex modes.
The switch features with easy installation and maintenance. It
supports N-Way auto-negotiation protocol, which detects the
networking speed (either 10/100/1000 Mbps) and the duplex
modes (Full or Half duplex mode) automatically and do an
immediately adjustment to advance the capability and
performance. Auto-MDI/MDI-X function alleviates the effort to
use crossover cables. Users need not to prepare crossover
cables for equipment connectivity. Also, rich diagnostic LEDs
are provided for users to get real-time information of the
connection status that helps to do quick response and
correction.

Rear Panel
The power receptacle and power on/off switch is located on
the rear panel of the switch:
Power Receptacle
To be compatible with the electric service standards around
the world, the switch is designed to afford the power supply in
the range from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz. Please make sure
that your outlet standard to be within this range.
To power on the switch, plu g the female end of the power cord
firmly into the receptacle of the switch and the other end into
an electric service outlet. After the power cord installation,
please turn on the back panel power switch to check if the
power LED is illuminated for a normal power status.

Installation
This switch can be placed on your desktop directly, or
mounted on the wall. The installation is a snap. Users can use
all the features of the switch with simply attaching the cables
and turning the power on.
Before installing the switch, we strongly recommend:
The switch is placed with appropriate ventilation
environment. A minimum 25mm space around the unit
is recommended.
The switch and the relevant components are away from
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters
and broadband amplifiers.
The switch is away from environments beyond
recommend moisture.
Desktop Installation
You need to attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom of
the switch before installing for keeping the switch from
slipping. The recommend position has been square -marked.
Install the switch on a level surface that can support the
weight of the unit and the relevant components.
Plug the switch with the female end of the provided
power cord and plug the male end to the power outlet.

Wall-mount Installation
Screw the two provided screws into the wall 150 mm
apart horizontally. Leave a small gap between the head
of the screw and the wall. The gap should be big
enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots
and the connection cables to run down the back of the
switch.
Align the holes on the back of the switch with the
screws on the wall. Hang the switch on the screws.
Note: Do not mount the product vertically or it will be
dangerous. Please attach the product on the wall horizontally!

Station Connection
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.
Switches Connection
Network Cables Installation
Crossover or straight-through cable: All the ports on the
switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X functionality. Both
straight-through or crossover cables can be used to
connect the switch with PCs as well as other devices
like switches, hubs or router.
Category 3, 4, 5, 5e or 6 UTP/STP cable: To make a
valid connection and obtain the optimal performance.
Appropriate cables corresponding to different
transmitting/receiving speed is required. To choose a
