Connecting to network devices
NOTE:
• Use either cross-over or straight-through cables to connect other
network devices such as PCs, bridges, switches, hubs, and repeaters.
• The length of the network cables should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Connecting to end nodes
The GX-D1241 switch is used as a standalone switch to connect end nodes such
as PCs and printers and form a small workgroup. With auto MDI/MDIX capability,
each Ethernet port on this switch automatically detects the type of cable plugged to
it and adjusts itself to the speed and duplex of the device to which it is connected.
The STATUS LED lights green or blinks green when a valid link is established on
the corresponding port.
Powering on
The GX-D1241 switch works with AC power supply 100-240V, 50/60Hz and adjusts
to the power supply at your location automatically. You can turn on the switch
without any network devices connected to it.
To power on the GX-D1241 switch:
1. Connect the female plug of the AC power cable to the power connector on
the rear panel of the switch.
2. Connect the male plug of the AC power cable to a suitable AC power outlet.
