Page 7

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

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

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

3.If the fibre uplink is used, then connect the fibre link to the partner device (media converter, fibre NIC card or fibre switch etc). Verify that the green Link LED on the fibre module is lit which indicates that the optical link is valid.

4.If advanced modes such as port-based VLANs are needed, then use the console port to configure the switch.

5.If legacy devices that do not support auto-negotiation are connected to the RJ45 ports then it may be necessary to configure the switch to match the speed and duplex modes of the partner devices.

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