3.2 Part 2 — Setting up the switch
Connect the device to the power outlet, and your computer or network. See
Figure 4.
3.2.1 Connect the console port
For console management, use an RS232 (DB9) or a USB cable to
connect the switch. If you want to use WEB interface, connect your PC
to the switch using the Ethernet cable.
3.2.2 Connect to the computers or a LAN
You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers directly to the switch
ports. You can also connect hubs/switches to the switch ports by Ethernet
cables. You can use either the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable
to connect computers, hubs, or switches.
Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the
1000BASE-T port. Otherwise, the link speed can not reach
1Gbps.
3.2.3 Attach the RPS module
Connect your RPS module to the RPS jack and make sure the other end of
the RPS is connected to the power cord. Connect to the power cord to a
grounded power outlet.
3.2.4 Attach the power adapter
1. Connect the AC power cord to the POWER receptacle on the back
of the switch and plug the other end of the power cord into a wall
outlet or a power strip.
2. Check the front LED indicators with the description in Table 4. If the
LEDs light up as described, the switch hardware is working
properly.
