Powering On the Switch

Installing the Switch

1.Plug the power cord into the power socket on the rear of the switch, and the other end into a power outlet.

2.Check the LED marked Power on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage. Therefore, no additional adjustments are necessary when connecting it to any input voltage within the range marked on the rear panel.

3.The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on. (Note that this test takes several minutes to complete.)

Note: The unit supports a “hot remove” feature which permits you to connect or disconnect twisted-pair or fiber cables without powering off the switch and without disrupting the operation of the devices attached to the switch.

Power	Green	On	Power is supplied to the switch.
		Off	Power is disconnected.
Link/Act	Green	On	The network port is connected
		Blinking	Packet transmission or reception is
			occurring on the port.
		Off	The network port is not connected.
10/100M	Green	On	A valid 100Mbps link is established on
			the port.
		Off	A valid 10Mbps link is established on
			the port.
FDX/Col	Green	On	The port operates in full-duplex mode.
		Off	The port operates in half-duplex mode.
		Blinking	There’re collisions when packet
