ProConnect II® Series

Uplinking the Switch

All four ports on the Switch can act as uplink ports, allowing you to uplink to other switches or hubs using a standard Ethernet connection.

To uplink the switch, connect one end of a Category 5e (or better) network cable into a port, then connect the other end of the cable into the desired net- work device’s uplink port. MDI/MDIX will automatically detect the speed and cable type.

Installing the Gigabit Expansion Modules

Use the following instructions to install the Gigabit Expansion Modules:

Before you begin, power off the Switch by disconnecting all cables from the Switch.

1.Place the Switch right side up, with the front panel facing you.

2.Use a screwdriver to remove the desired Expansion Module cover plate (labeled “Module 1”, “Module 2”, “Module 3”, “Module 4”). Set the screws aside for step 4.

3.Insert the Gigabit Expansion Module (must be purchased separately) into the selected Gigabit Expansion Port, ensuring that it is seated firmly in place.

4.Secure the module in place using the screws and a screwdriver.

The Gigabit Expansion Module installation is complete.

You can now re-connect the cables to the back of the Switch.
