BLACK BOXPower Over Ethernet Switch(PoE) Installation and User Guide

1.Using standard twisted pair media, insert either end of the cable with a RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port. Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded cables and wiring may be used.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device.

3.Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established. If this does not help, ensure that the cable is connected properly and that the device on the other end is powered and is not defective.

4.For Port # 1 or 1SW, if the LINK LED is not illuminated, move the switch which has a cross-over or up-link for linking to another hub or Switch.

3.8.2Connections to NICs which support Auto-Negotiation, RJ-45 ports

The copper ports of LP004A-Sereis Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch will function properly with NICs (Network Interface Cards) which support Auto-Negotiation, and the Fast Link Pulse (FLP) coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a NIC to the LP004A-Series, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if the NIC has been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE- TX (such as 10BASE-T). When 100Mb operation is agreed and in use, the 10/100 LED is illuminated steady ON and is OFF, if 10 Mbps traffic.
