Completing The Installation

8 Port Ethernet Smart Switch With Fibre Uplink

When the switch has been installed as specified above, then the unit can be configured as detailed below:-

1.Connect the AC power cable to the switch. The green Power LED on the front panel of the switch should light.

2.Connect the Cat. 5/5e twisted pair cables from the network partner devices to the RJ-45 ports on the switch. When a network connection is obtained, the green LK/ACT LED associated with the port will light.

3.Connect the fibre link to the partner device (media converter, fibre NIC card or fibre switch etc). Verify that the green LK/ACT LED for the fibre port is lit which indicates that the optical link is valid.

4.If advanced modes such as port configuration or port-based VLANs are needed, then use the console port to configure the switch. See the console port instructions on page 7.

5.If legacy devices that do not support auto-negotiation are connected to the RJ-45 ports, then it may be necessary to program the switch to match the speed and duplex modes of the partner devices. See page 9

6.Note that auto-negotiation can take up to 30 seconds to complete depending on the partner device.
