Introduction
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. 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.
Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents in this package
• One Gigabit Ethernet switch (RC-415 5 port gigabit switch/
RC-416 8 port gigabit switch)
• One power adapter

Stations 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. For cable selection, refer to the following table.
Switches Connection
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
