By default, all 8 ports of the Piranha Switch are configured for half-duplex
operation. If you are not configuring any ports for full-duplex operation, proceed
to section C.
NOTE:
You should only configure a Piranha Switch port for full-duplex operation if the
device to which it connects is also configured for full-duplex communications.
Connecting a half-duplex device to a full-duplex port (or vice-versa) can result in
unpredictable network behavior and degraded performance.
Configuring a Device for Full-duplex Operation
In order to configure an attached device for full-duplex operation, consult the
documentation that came with the device.
Configuring One or More Piranha Switch Ports for Full-
duplex Operation
In order to configure a port for full-duplex operation, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the Piranha Switch is not connected to its power adapter. If it is, unplug it.
2. Using a Phillips (star) screwdriver, carefully remove the 2 screws on the top of the case,
and the two screws on the back of the case. After the screws are removed, carefully slide
back and lift the cover of the Piranha Switch.
3. Locate the panel of Dual Inline Position (DIP) switches on the circuit board:
4. In order to configure a port for full-duplex operation, you must change the position of its
associated DIP switch from OFF to ON:
Refer to the following table when setting DIP switches:
5. Carefully replace the cover and screws on the Piranha Switch case.
6. Connect the power supply:Connect the appropriate ends of the power cord to the AC/
