Instructions

INSTALLING THE SWITCH

•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.

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-XRJ-45 port on the other device.
