1 Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Cisco 8-Port 10/100 Switch. The Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10 and 100 Mbps network clients. It's the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices, too. All ports are auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI- X crossover detection, so you don’t have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.

Placement Options

Set the Switch on its four rubber feet, or mount the Switch on a wall.

To use the wall-mount option, follow these instructions:

STEP 1 The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the Switch’s bottom panel. Attach two screws to the wall, so that the Switch’s wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.

STEP 2 Maneuver the Switch to insert the screws into the two slots.
