Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Metro Wireless Internet Adapter. The Metro Wireless Internet Adapter is the simple alternative for Internet connectivity in your home. Because the Internet link is wireless, you can get on without the hassle of a wired telephone or cable connection. The high-powered radio creates a strong, fast connection to the Metro Wireless Internet. Connect your PC directly to the Adapter, or add a wireless access point or network switch to connect multiple PCs – the built-in DHCP server automatically provides Internet addresses to all your PCs.

Power (Green) Each time your Switch powers up, it will run a diagnostic/self-test. After the test, the Power LED will ight up and will stay on while the Switch is powered on.

Link/Act (Green) This LED lights up solid when the Switch is connected to a device through the Ethernet port. If the LED is flashing, the Switch is sending or receiving data over that port.

100 (Green) This LED indicates the speed of the connection over the Ethernet port. When the LED lights up, the speed is 100 Mbps. When the LED does not light up, the speed is 10 Mbps.

FD/Col (Green) This LED indicates if the Ethernet port is in full or half duplex mode.When the LED is lit, the mode is Full Duplex. When the LED is not lit, the mode is Half Duplex. When the LED flashes, the port has a data collision error; check if your cabling is installed properly and all connections are secure.

Ethernet 1-5 (EZXS55W),

Ethernet 1-8 (EZXS88W),

Ethernet 1-16 (EZXS16W) The Ethernet ports connect the Switch to a wired PC or other Ethernet network device.

Uplink (EZXS55W and EZXS88W only) The Uplink port connects the Switch to a router or to another switch.

MDI/MDIX (EZXS16W only) When the MDI/ MDIX button is pressed in, port 16 will function as an Uplink port. When this button is not pressed in, port 16 functions as a normal 10/100 port.

Power The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter.

NOTE TO USERS OF 10/100 5- OR 8-PORT SWITCH (EZXS55W OR EZXS88W): If you connect a router or additional switch to the Uplink port, then you cannot use the numbered port next to the Uplink port (port 5 on the 5-Port Switch or port 8 on the 8-Port Switch will be inactive). The two ports are wired together, so they cannot be used simultaneously.
