1.7 Connecting The Switch

Power is supplied through an external DC

power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the DC power input voltage. Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on.

With the Auto-MDI function, you just need to plug-in the network cable to the hub directly and no need to care if the end node is NIC (Network Interface Card) or switches and hubs.

A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cables. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any port of the Switch.

The LED indicators for PC connection dependent on the LAN card capabilities. If LED indicators are not light after making a proper connection, check the PC LAN card, the cable, the Switch conditions and connections.

After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new twisted-pair connection:

If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto- sensing process is initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to half-duplex.
