FCC STATEMENT
Every 10/100 Switch has been tested and complies
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used
according to the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which is found by turni ng th e equipment o ff
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
2. Increase the separation between the equipment or
devices
3. Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the
receiver
4. Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for assistance

Chapter 1:
Introduction
This newly redesigned 5Port and 8Port 10/100
Switch can significantly increase your network traffic
speed. A switch serves the same function as a hub in
a network design tying your network equipment
together. But unlike a simple-minded hub which
divides the network’s bandwidth among all the
attached devices, a switch delivers full network
speeds at each port. Installing this cost-effective
5Port and 8Port 10/100 Switch can potentially
increase your network speed by five, eight times! It's
the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and
100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices, too. All ports are
auto speed negotiating, and have automatic
MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don’t have to
worry about the cable type. Each port independently
negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex
mode, for up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast
store-and-forward switching prevents damaged
packets from being passed on into the network.
The new, ultra-compact case design is sure to fit into
your workgroup environment. Let the 5, 8Port
10/100 Switch kick your 10/100 network into high
gear.

Hardware Description
This section describes the hardware feature s of the
5/8 Port Switch. familiarize yourself with its display
indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this
chapter display the unit LED indicator s. Before
connecting any network device to the Switch, read
this chapter carefully.
Front Panel
The unit front panel provides a simple interface
monitoring the Switch. It includes a po w er led and 5/8
led indicator for each port.

Hardware Installation
z Place the Switch on a smooth surface
z Connect the output of power cord to the DC-inlet
of the Switch.
z Connect other IEEE802.3 compatible network
device (Hub, Switch, PC) to one port of the Switch
using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.
z Connect another IEEE802.3 compatible network
device (Hub, Switch, PC) to another port of the
Switch by following the same process as
described in Step3.
Notice:
The cable distance between the Switch and other
IEEE802.3 compatible network device should not
exceed 100 meter.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps
operation. To reliably operate your network at
100Mbps, you must use an Unshielded/shielded
Twisted-Pair (UTP/STP) Category 5 cable, or better
Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable
may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data
loss.
All kinds of IEEE802.3 comp atible network device
(Hub , Switch ,PC)can connect to the S w itch by using
straight-through wires or crossover wires because of
Switch’s auto MDIX function.

Chapter 4:
Hardware Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve
problems. If the Switch is not functioning properly,
make sure the Switch wa s set up according to
instructions in this manual.
1. The Power LED is not lit
Solution:
a. Check if the AC power cord is well
connected. Try to unplug and plug back
the power cord to the LAN Switch or try
another power cord.
b. Check if the AC power source is in good
condition.
2. The Link LED is not lit
Solution:
a. Make sure the Switch configuration is
consistent with the connecting device
b. Check the cable connections.
c. Make sure the cable distance between
the Switch and other IEEE802.3
compatible network device should not
exceed 100 meter.
3. Performance is bad
Solution:
a. Check the full duplex status of the
Page 9
5PORT/8PORT NWAY SWITCH
Ethernet Switching. If the Ethernet
Switching is set to full duplex and the
partner is set to half duplex, then the
performance will be poor.
b. Make sure the cable between the switch
and other IEEE802.3 compatible
network device is Category 5 UTP at
100Mbps operation.
4. Some stations can not talk to other stat ions
located on the other port
Solution:
a. Check status of the Link LED to make
sure the link is correct.
b. Make sure that the workstation’s netw ork
configuration is correct, modify the
network configuration of workstation if
need.
c. Please reset the switch if need.
