Introduction
The 8-Port NWay Switch is designed to for the needs of small enterprise and home networks. Its easy
installation can boost network performance just in a couple of minutes. With its Auto-Negotiation capability, all
ports can be configured to its optimum speed of 10/20Mbps or 100/200Mbps automatically. It eliminates
bottlenecks and bandwidth constraints, optimizes network performance. Inevitably the 8-Port NWay Switch is
your best choose to improve network performance with the highest performance/price ratio.

Cabling
10Mbps
Category 3, 4, or 5 Twisted-Pair cable can be used for transmitting data at 10Mbps or 20Mbps bandwidth on
10BASE-T networks.
100Mbps
Only Category 5 Twisted-Pair cable can be used for transmitting data at 100Mbps or 200Mbps bandwidth on
100BASE-TX networks.

Networking
Connecting computers to Switch
1. Make sure all computers to be connected to the Switch have installed properly a network interface card.
2. Connect computer to the Switch with a twisted-pair cable. The cable should have RJ-45 plugs. Use
Category 5 cable for all connections. Please pay attention to the length of each cable should be less than
100 meters.
3. Plug one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the computer’s NIC. Plug the other end to any available port
on the Switch.
Up linking to other Switch
1. Prepare a straight-through Category 5 twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 plugs. Make sure the cable does not
longer than 100 meters.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the Switch’s Uplink port.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the other Switch’s MDI-X port (in our Switch, Port 1 to Port 8 are
MDI-X ports).
Alternatively, you can connect two Switches at both ends MDI-X ports with a crossover cable.
Please note that the UPLINK Port shares with Port 8. Only either of them can be used at a time, not both.
