INSTALLING THE SWITCH

1.Positioning the Switch: For wall mounting, attach the switch stand to the wall with two small screws, and then slide the switch’s rear-panel track onto the stand. To stand the switch upright, slide the base of the switch onto the stand. To lay the switch flat, slide the switch’s rear-panel track onto the stand.

2.Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter into the socket on the switch’s side 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 with a straight-through twisted-pair cable segment, maximum length 100 meters (328 feet). The EZ Switch 10/100 will support up to 5 PCs.

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. No crossover cables or other device settings are needed. See the “Cable Specifications” and “Connectivity Guidelines” sections of this guide for further information.
