Installing the Switch On a Table or Desktop

To install the switch on a table or desktop, perform the following procedure:

1.Remove all components from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe location.

2.Locate a level, secure surface for the switch.

Note

If desired, you can affix the switch to a flat surface using the two threaded screw holes on the bottom of the chassis. The holes use M4 screws (not provided) and are 100 millimeters (3.94 inches) apart.

3.Power ON the switch using the external power adapter supplied with the unit. Connect the external power adapter to an appropriate power source and the DC cable on the adapter to the DC connector on the switch.

The PWR LED on the switch’s front panel should be ON. If the LED remains OFF, refer to “Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation” on page 22 for assistance.

Warning

The power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize

 

 

equipment, disconnect the power cord.

Note

 

 

 

To prevent the DC power cable from being inadvertently pulled out of

 

 

the switch, use the cable tie supplied with the unit to secure the DC

 

 

power cable to the small cable hook located next to the DC connector.

 

 

 

4.

Connect the twisted pair cables to the RJ45 connectors on the switch.

5.

Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber optic

 

cable to the port.

 

6.

Set the 100FX DUPLEX switch to either HALF for half-duplex or FULL

 

for full-duplex operation. The capabilities of the end node connected to the

 

fiber optic port will determine the correct setting for this switch. If the end

node is capable of only half-duplex, set the￿switch to HALF. If the end node is capable of full-duplex, set the switch to FULL.
