•Make sure the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters).

Technical Specifications

1.Place the switch on a flat surface using either the attached feet or the provided vertical stand.

2.For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device and insert the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch.

Note: If you have more than 5 or 8 devices to connect to this switch, you must connect them to a hub or other switch and then connect that hub or switch to this switch.

3.Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the switch and then plug the adapter into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).

The Power light should light up.

The corresponding port number for each connected and powered device should light when link (connection), and flash when activity occurs.

Note: If any light doesn’t operate as indicated, go to the Troubleshooting section.
