Instructions

EZ Switch 10/100/1000

•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 2 m (6.6 feet) of the switch and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

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 Category 5 or 5e shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP or STP) cable, maximum length 100 meters (328 ft). 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.

4.Cascading Switches and Other Network Devices: All the ports on the switch support automatic MDI/ MDI-X configuration for cable connections. This allows you to use straight-through cable to connect to other switches or hubs from any port on the switch.
