Asanté FriendlyNET FS4008P Installation Guide
Page 3
The Asanté FriendlyNET FS4008P is designed for easy “plug and play” installation. Before you con-
nect your switch to other devices, there are several issues you should keep in mind:
When connecting the switch to a workstation using unshielded twisted pair
cable, you must make sure that the cable length is not greater than 100 meters.
10Base-T twisted pair Ethernet cabling should be category 3 or better, and
100Base-TX twisted pair Fast Ethernet cabling should use tested category 5
cabling.
Network cable segments can be connected to, or disconnected from the
switch while the power is on. Plugging in or removing network cables while your
switch is operating will not interrupt the operation of the switch.
When placing your switch, you need to avoid dusty locations and electromag-
netically noisy areas.
Desktop Placement
You can place the switch on a table. In this case, use the four self-adhesive feet, which are provided
with the Asanté FriendlyNET FS4008P for cushioning purposes. Stick them on the four corners of the
bottom surface of the switch, as shown in diagram below to cushion it against vibration.
