1 Introduction

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

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

2 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, level flat space strong

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

3 Use only the supplied power adaptor to connect your

switch to a power source. Refer to the label on the
power adapter for more information.

" Do not block the ventilation holes.

3 Hardware Connection

The power and the Ethernet ports are located on the rear
panel.

3.1 Power Connection

Connect one end of the supplied power adaptor to the
power port on the rear panel of the switch and the other
end to the appropriate power source. The PWR LED turns
on.

3.2 RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports

The switch comes with 5 or 8 10/100/1000M RJ-45 ports
depending on the model of your switch. The auto­negotiation feature allows the switch to detect the speed
of incoming transmission and adjust appropriately without
manual intervention. It allows data transfers of 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps in either half-duplex or full­duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

3.3 Auto-crossover Ethernet Ports

All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports
(Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may use
either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover
Ethernet cable for all Ethernet port connections. Auto­crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to
function as crossover or straight ports, so crossover
cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs.

Refer to the Product Specifications section for the types
of network cable used for the different connection
speeds.
