Installation
Installation is easy-- simply connect the cables and the power cord. The system is ready, and you can use all the features.
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one of the RJ-45 connectors into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the station’s network adapter. Power on the switch and then the system is ready.
All ports could be used to connect with another switch. As all the ports support auto-uplink (MDI / MDI-X) function, user can choose to use a straight cable or a crossover cable to make a switch-to-switch connection.
For cable selection, refer to the following table:
Network | Connector | Cable Type | Max. |
Speed | | | Length |
10BaseT | RJ-45 | Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP | 100 m |
100BaseTX | RJ-45 | Cat. 5 UTP/STP | 100 m |
Note: To prevent costly equipment damage and downtime, please consider installing a surge suppression device or a UPS (Un-interrupted Power Supply).
