• There should be adequate space (approximately
two inches) on all sides for proper air flow.
• 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 8 feet (2.44 meters) of the hub 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.
2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter into the
socket on the switch’s rear panel, 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 a straight-through twisted-pair cable segment,
maximum 100 meters (328 ft.). The EZ Switch 10/100 will
support up to 5/8 PCs.
4. Cascading Switch and Other Network Devices: Prepare
straight-through Category 5 twisted-pair cable with RJ-45
plugs. Make sure the cable does not exceed 100 meters (328
feet). Connect one end of the cable to the switch’s port, and
connect the other end of the calbe to an MDI/MDI-X RJ-45
port on the other device.
