Installation

Operating Environment

ƒThis switch must be installed and operated within the limits of the specified operating temperature and humidity (see the Specifications section)

ƒDo not place objects on top of the unit. Do not obstruct any vents on the unit

ƒDo not position the switch in direct exposure to the sun, or near any heat source such as a heater, radiator etc.

ƒPrevent water and moisture entering the unit. If necessary, use a dehumidifier to reduce humidity.

Connecting network devices

This switch features Auto MDI/MDI-X RJ-45 ports for easy connection to other network devices using straight-through type connecting cable. As a minimum, the network patch cables must at least comply with the Category 5 standard for 10 and 100Mbps data transmission.

1.Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the switch. Connect the other end to the RJ-45 port on the network device

2.Follow the same procedure to connect each of the RJ-45 ports on the switch.

3.Please always be aware that the maximum length of any Ethernet segment is 100m. This can be achieved by using patch cables of no more then 5m length at both ends plus an installation cable in between for the remaining length. Using higher spec network cable can increase this to a certain extent.

4.Connect the power cable to the mains and to the power socket on the unit.

Connecting to another network switch

You can use any port to make a connection to another switch, with either straight or crossover cable, as all the ports support Auto MDI/MDI-X.

Rack mounting the switch

The switch can either be installed standalone or mounted in a 19” rack. The switch is supplied with two rack mounting brackets and screws for this purpose.

Troubleshooting

The power LED is not lit

ƒCheck the power cable is properly connected to both the mains outlet and the switch

ƒMake sure the power at the mains socket is switched on!

The Link/Act LED is not lit when connected to a network device

ƒCheck the power cable and power switch of the device connected to the switch. Make sure it is turned on!

ƒCheck the network cable. Make sure it is properly connected to the switch and to the network device. The segment length has to be below 100 metres (see remark above) and all cables and connectors should be at least category 5 compliant.

ƒIf this does not solve the problem try another port of the switch that works OK and also check if the other device works OK by attaching it to another properly working network switch

ƒIf you experience any other problems with the switch please contact LINDY or your supplier.
