Getting to Know Your Switch

Introduction

The switch is a multi-port switch that can be used to build high­performance switched networks. The switch is a store-and-forward device
that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The switch is designed
for SOHO (Small Office Home Office) businesses.

Standalone Workgroup Application

The switch can be used as a standalone
switch to which computers, servers and a
printer are directly connected to form a
small workgroup.

Hardware Installation

The switch is suitable for an office environment where it can be placed on
a desktop.

1. Make sure the switch is clean and dry.

2. Set the switch on a smooth, leveled and sturdy flat space strong

enough to support the weight of the switch and the connected cables.
Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Rear Panel Connection

The RJ-45 ports and the power port are located on the rear panel.

RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports

Your switch comes with eight 10Base-T/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports. These
ports are auto-negotiating and auto-crossover.

An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet
speed (10/100Mpbs) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the
connected device.

An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a
straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.

Make sure the cable length between connections does not

exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Power

Use the supplied power cable to connect your switch to a power source.

Front Panel LEDs

The following table describes the front panel LEDs.

LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION
