Nortel Networks ELO ES24 Switch User Manual

Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical
interference such as radios, transmitters, etc.
Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 2.44 meters
(8 feet) of the switch and is powered from an independent circuit
breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is
recommended.
Instructions
1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf mounting, attach the
four adhesive foot pads to the bottom of the switch. For rack- mounting,
attach the mounting brackets on both sides of the screws provided, and
install the switch in the rack.
2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter into the power
receptacle at back of the switch, and the other end into an appropriate
electrical outlet. Check the Power LED to be sure power is on.
Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting or
disconnecting any UTP cables, as these actions will not disrupt
the operation of other devices attached to the switch.
3. Connecting PCs: Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port on the switch
using Category 5 or 5e shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP or
STP) cable, maximum length 100 meters (328 ft). LNES24 will support
up to 24 PCs. All ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X
operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network
connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
Note: If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, the data
rate will be sensed automatically and the communication mode
will default to half duplex.
