5. Installation
(1) Operating Environment
This 16 ports smart switch must be installed and operated
within the limits of specified operating temperature and humidity
(see previous section under Specifications). Do not place objects on
top of the unit. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the unit. Do
not position the unit near any heating source such as heater, radiator,
or direct exposure to sun. Prevent entering of water and moisture
into the unit. If necessary, use dehumidifier to reduce humidity.
(2) Connecting network devices
The RJ-45 ports on the switch are designed as MDI-X ports
which allow using straight-through cables to connect this switch to
workstation or hub’s uplink port (MDI). A crossover cable must be
used to connect the switch directly to a hub’s regular port.
Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the
front panel, and connect the other end of the network cable to the
RJ-45 port on the network device. Follow the same procedure to
connect all the RJ-45 ports of the switch. The UTP network cables
must comply with EIA/TIA 568 specifications and Category 5
standard for 100Mbps data transmission. Maximum length, using
UTP cable, between the switch and connected device is 100 meters
(300ft). Once the network cable is connected to both ends and the
attached network device is powered on, the green LNK/ACT LED
should be lit.
An uplink port is located right next to the 16th port of this switch. The
uplink port is a shared port with the 16th port but provides the MDI
connecting to another hub/switch using regular straight-through cables.
Otherwise if you have bought our fiber option module that you can expansion to 1.5k
meters (5000ft) between the switch and connected device.
(3) Connecting the power
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of
the unit. Connect the power cord to the power outlet and turn on
power switch. The Power LED on the front panel should be lit.
