Caution

After you change the speed or duplex mode of the switch, you must power cycle (shut down and restart) the switch for the new settings to take affect.

4.Place the switch on a secure, level surface, leaving ample space around the switch for ventilation.

5.Plug the AC/DC power adapter into an appropriate AC power outlet and insert the power plug into the DC receptacle located on the back of the switch.

6.Verify that the PWR LED is green. If the LED is OFF, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 19 for instructions.

7.Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber optic cable to the 100Base-FX port.

8.Connect the fiber optic cable to the 100Base-FX port on the end node.

9.Connect the twisted-pair cable (or cables) to the 10Base-T/100Base-TX port.
