Gigafast EE2400-S, EE2400-G User Manual
1. Introduction
The Fast Ethernet Switch with Gigabit modules is an auto-sensing
10/100Mbps switch with two build-in 10/100/1000 Gigabit ports. This
high-performance switch is developed primarily to be used either as a
segment switch or a desktop switch.
Thus, EE2400-G can provide up to 2 additional Gigabit ports for 2 gigabit
backbone connections within your Local Area Network (LAN).
All of the network ports on the Model EE2400-G can adapt automatically to
the speed of the connected network or the PC, and ports can operate at
either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. In addition, each port can automatically negotiate
with the connected device to operate in full-duplex mode. If the connected
device is operating in half-duplex mode only, or does not have the capability
to participate in the negotiation process, the port will default to half-duplex
mode. The BaseSwitch EE2400-G supports basic management function
(Console management). Console management involves the RS-232 console
port. The functions of the console management include Trunk Setting, VLAN
Setting, and Priority etc.
EE2400-G is compliant to 10/100/1000BASE-T standards. It operates in a
protocol-independent manner, eliminating the overhead for management
software and maintenance efforts. Furthermore, it features up to 2
Copper-wired gigabit ports to enable Gigabit backbone connections for
departmental workgroups or high performance servers. LAN users can very
easily upgrade their existing Ethernet/Fast Ethernet to Gigabit networking
environment. With easy Plug-and-Play installation, EE2400-G Gigabit
Ethernet Switch offers you an effortless and inexpensive upgrade to Gigabit
network.
There is a console port at the rear panel of this EE2400-G. User can setup
per-port 10/100Mbps, Half/Full duplex configuration from the console port.
The VLAN、 Trunking and Priority functions of EE2400-G is also setup from
the console port. Users can setup VLAN groups for network management or
user can setup trunking connection for switch-to-switch connection with faster
bandwidth.

2.b Front Panel
The Rear Panel
The rear panel is where you can locate the power switch, AC power connector,
ventilators and console port.
Console Port Ventilator Power Connector
2.c Rear Panel
AC Power Connector
This is a three-pronged power connector where the power cord should be
attached. Just plug the female end of the power cord into the connector, and
the male end of the power cord into an AC power outlet. The switch supports
an input voltages ranging from 100~240V at 50~60 Hz.
Ventilators
These two ventilators fans help circulate the cool air through the heated
components inside the switch. The air holes on both sides of the switch also
serve as heat vents to dissipate the heat. For proper ventilation, please be
careful in your installation that in any case these openings should not be
blocked. An adequate margin space for the rear and both sides of the switch
should be provided. Be reminded that without proper air circulation to
dissipate the heat, the internal components of the switch might get
overheated, which might lead to system failure.
Each cooling fan is housed in a fan tray, which ensures its proper functioning
without getting entangled with external wirings or improper tempering. The
cooling fans are endurable and work reliably to prevent your switch from
overheating. Since the switch is equipped with two cooling fans, heat
dissipation can still function if one fan stops running. But if you find either fan
not functioning properly, please contact your local dealer for replacement.

2.2 Where To Place the Switch
This 24-port gigabit Switch can be placed on a flat surface (your desk,
shelf or table) or mounted onto a rack.
Place the 24-port gigabit Switch at a location with these connection
considerations in mind:
●The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily to it
●The cables connected to the switch are away from sources of electrical
interference such as radio, computer monitor, and light fixtures.
●There is sufficient space surrounding the hub to allow for proper
ventilation (the hub may not function according to specifications beyond
the temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees C)

The location must preferably be free from excessive dust, away from
heat vent or other warm-air exhaust and direct sunlight. The switch
should not be placed near large electric motors or other electromagnetic
equipments. As a reference, the strength of the electromagnetic field on
site should not exceed the (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M)
field strength.
The air temperature in the location should be within a range of 32˚F to
122˚F (0˚C to 55˚C).
The relative humidity in the location should not exceed 95%
non-condensing humidity.
The power outlet should be located within 6 feet from the device.
The distance between the RJ-45 port and the standard network interface
should not exceed 100 meters.
