Operating Environment
This smart switch must be installed and operated within the
limits of the specified operating temperature and humidity (see
previous section on Specifications). Do not place objects on top
of the unit or obstruct any vents at the sides of the unit. Do not
position the unit near any heating source such as heaters,
radiators, or direct exposure to sun. Do not expose the unit to
water and or moisture. If necessary, use a dehumidifier to reduce
humidity.
Connecting to network devices
1. All ports of this switch support the Auto-MDI/MDI-X
function. That is to say, you can connect any device
(including PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a
regular cable. The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and
auto-switch to the correct MDI/MDI-X mode. (do not need
to connect to a specific uplink port or cross-over cable)
2. 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.
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 LNK/ACT LED should be lit.
3. Make sure the wiring is correct. You need to use Category
3/4/5 cable for 10Mbps operation or Category 5 cable for
100Mbps connections.
Connecting the power
Plug the power cable into the internal three-pronged power
plug. Connect it to an electrical outlet then turn on the switch.
