TP Port and Cable Installation ⇒ In the switch, T P port supports MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, so both types of
cable, straight-through (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 1, 2, 3 , 6 in
10/100M TP; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in Gigabit TP) and
crossed-over (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 3, 6, 1, 2) ca n be us ed.
It means you do not have to tell from them, just plug it.
⇒ Use Cat. 5 grade RJ- 45 TP cable to connect to a T P port of the switch and the
other end is connected to a network-aware device such as a workstation or a
server.
⇒ Repeat the above s teps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connec ted to a
Gigabit 10/100/1000 TP device.
Now, you can start having the switch in operation.
Power On
The switch supports 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply. The power supply will
automatically convert the local AC power source to DC power. It does not matter
whether any connection plugged into the switch or not when power on, even
modules as well. After the power is on, all LED indicators will light up imm ediately
and then all off except the power LED still keeps on. This represents a reset of the
system.
Firmware Loading
After resetting, the bootstrap loader will load the firmware into the memory. It will
take about 30 seconds, after that, the switch will flash all the LED once and
automatically performs self-test and is in ready state.
